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.

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.

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:

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
