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 !!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
