Hi Guys,

Has anyone retrimmed the r32 (specifically gtr if possible) in a new material, had the seats refurbished or anything similar? Are there any aftermarket seats out there that bolt straight into an r32 gtr that look similar to the stock seats and suit the existing interior?

I want to freshen up the inside of the car. :cheers:

I was thinking of replacing the cloth/trim in the r32 with leather or a new cloth.

Also what happened to the guy who was going to do r32 leather gearshift/handbrake boots? Did that end up happening?

If anyone has any pics, stories or ideas let me know.

Cant give him a big enough rap, i wish businesses i dealt with were this easy to deal with...havent installed on my car yet as its MIA, but they look good, so not expectign any probs.

Whats exactly wrong with your interior, what look do you like, i dont like leather, hence the race seat i have in mine.... i like my rice :cheers:

bollocks, full leather retrim from a good italian upholsterer that only uses leather from napoli and a big f**koff sewing machine costs about 2k.

Does that include all panels as well as seats, roof lining, etc?

I did say it was an uneducated guess :cheers: Although I seem to remember an article in Speed with some guy who had his R32 GT-R retrimmed in yellow-ish leather and the figure $5k seems to have stuck in my mind.

LW.

im gettin mine done by Master Custom Autotrim in sydney

They are doing bucket seats front and rear custom door trims etc on average a job like this is worth about 8-10K from Master Custom Autotrim or To The Max.

you could probably get a basic job done for about 3K

I'd be interested in seeing some pics of an updated/new R32 GTR interior. The dash is dog ugly which is 1 thing thats stopping me from buying an R32 GTR (I could dream).

Give me an R32 GTR with an R33 interior any day :cheers:

You think? I always liked the interior because its real sporty, it took a long while for me to like the R33 interior...to me it looked like a Camry dash with Camry seats :)

Pentae.... so you picked up an R32....congrats :cheers:

Roy: No not yet :)

My sale with the r34 GTR fell through so i'm doing a bit of prepurchase research to go with plan a: R32 gtr..

(the r33 gtr is too much of a whale for my personal taste)

So comes the question,

Buy an 89 GTR and refurb interior/respray.. 35k

Buy a 94 v-spec II and wait for r32 compliance.. 35k

Free research on SAU.. priceless

Tough call :cheers:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
