Hey,

So when I bought my car It had a few problems with it.

They are all pretty much fixed except the carpet.

The previous owner clearly couldn't be bothered with floor mats at some point and there is a hole in the carpet right about where your heel goes.

I have tried to find a place that sells new carpet for R34's and have called places in Melbourne and Sydney with no luck.

IS there a place that sells replacement carpet or should I use this for motivation to pull my carpet out, remove the sound deadening and paint the floor black?

I just spoke to a trimmer in victoria about making a pre molded set for GTT , he didnt realize so many existed in oz

I asked if they would consider molding some. Up but my car is in the wrong state lol

They make pre molded for all the older models already

the sample plush carpet he sent was very nice ( the factory carpet is crap !!! Real Black looks so much nicer)

forgot the price think it was about 300 for a coupe premolded r33 so 34 shouldnt be different

If not he sugguested selling the carpet 54 bucks a meter , think its over a meter wide so maybe 2 meters of it or less to do a coupe ? if you do boot floor too ? This is the plastic backed carpet like the real factory carpet , i want plush and can say it looked about 6-8 mm thick about the same as the factory gtr floor mats ? only tighter weave , they had 3 thickness available and various colours , some can be patterns too hmmm plaid nice haha

im checking a few other places but maybe someone in vic can drive a gtt over to get a mold made ?

That would be awesome.

Who was it that you went through for that?

sorry for slow update

Well after a mountain of phone calls etc Even overseas

I went to the manufacture in victoria for 10mm thick 1.7 metres wide black carpet , you can get it up to 16mm thick but only a metre wide and piece it together ?

Cost is about 180 with shipping (25 to ship)

But in my phone calls a place called allcarcarpets in vic said if they had the original molded carpets in just about any condition they could make the GTT or GTR mold for the R34 in a month and they had 6 mm black sample they sent me looked nice ?

The other option was wool wilton carpet from UK /US but didnt bother cause it would be a mint and shipping a killer , same stuff rolls royce uses !!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
