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:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
