Hey Guys,

Thought i would share my experience with getting my 33 GTR wheel retrimmed. As we all know the R32,34 would now be showing their age from general wear and tear and the harsh Aussie sun.

I wanted to get a new look for my wheel and came accross a guy that runs one of the Soarer forums.

The quality of the workmanship and leather is excellent. The company does OEM work for ADM car companies. The leather he used was a close match to factory and I asked for Red Baseball stitching. He also can offer other styles of leather including perforated leather, and im sure he can do two tone if that floats your boat. I wonder if he can do Alcantara!!

He charges $190 plus shipping approx $15 interstate. He also does gear knobs and handbrake covers.

I removed my airbag and sent my wheel off on a Monday in NSW and shipped it by regular post to SA and had it back by the end of the week!!

I was so happy that I thought i would tell my fellow SAU members about it.

This pic doesnt even do it justice. It looks even better in person :)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
