So this happened today....fitted them up. they look sexy.

i broke off just about every clip of the old ones when removing them lol.

the new ones were maneuverable enough to put on with the seats in place but considering the money i paid for these i removed the back seats and detached the lower trims to fit these.

How hard is it to fit them and get the seats out?

The base of the rear seat pops out of the mounts. The back is held in by a couple of bolts at the bottom. After they are removed the seat lifts out.

As for the lower trims there is a small plastic trim piece where the seat belt comes out of which is held in by one screw. Just pop out the lower trims.

The lower bolt of the rear seat belt needs to come out to go through the trim.

Just take your time and dont break anything lol

any know the part number for the handbrake boot??

Edited by WantGTR

You have to buy the whole back part of the consol to get the hand brake boot

i was afraid of that. i have an ebay spec one at the moment. its not bad but i do need to reseat/refit it neatly.

and you would anyway, always broken clips.

no broken clips here haha

Geez, this makes me want to checkout my RHD cart...

I'm also in an interior revamp mode with inspiration from various SAU build threads/google/magazines etc

currently done, triple gauge/dash LED's, superior auto CF-look gear/brake boots, suede covered a-pillars from a tweeter install, duracon shifter, dash mat.

current wishlist, centre vent, c-pillars, window rubbers, floor mats, lighting, door handles, r34 pedals.

what's next for you?

theres so many good cars on here isnt there! going for a minimalist approach to the interior. instead of having a stack of gizmos and gadgets i have replaced all the worn out/broken stuff and just want a tidy interior.

i actually just had all the seats out and had them dry cleaned. honestly about 90% better. next up i want to retrim my steering wheel. was thinking of getting a nardi or sorts but i like the stock wheel. a new one from nissan is about 1k. speaking to a couple trimmers. see what happens.

Can actually GET them from Nissan or are they out of stock?

Kudos has one for $770pp. You'd need to check if its for the right year.

I've ordered a Nardi deep corn suede 350mm/80mm offset and WB boss kit (suede to match rest of interior details).

My approach is maintain a stock look/color scheme but update select items/replace broken OEM items.

Good idea, my seats need a good clean, probably with the rest of the interior actually

They are available from nissan and kudos...

Getting a nardi would be the cheaper option but theres just something about the stock wheel i love. Maybe its the simplicity.

As far as a retrim is concerned ive been quoted about 300-400 for a factory style refinish

Where did you end up getting your gear boot surround and gt500 gear knob from??

Check out RHDjapan

so after fitting the new gear surround i thought it was a shame to fit a new part on a hacked up stereo surround. i ended up selling my double din TV and bought a single din deck. wanting to go for the original look i bought a new stereo surround from nissan. its a thing of beauty.

im about to fit it up but i am waiting for a replacement middle console which isnt hacked up. FYI GTR and GTSt ones are different! the GTR has a taller transmission tunnel hence a slightly shorter console. its important to have the right one as the console between the seats will NOT meet up to it.

Will post pics when it is back together. Watch this space for more factory awesomeness.

went for the textured one eh. i quite like the gloss black. a friend took his out and had it painted and cleared like 10 times in piano black. the deep gloss is magical..... but dust sucks.

i quite liked the double din look with the AC in the ashtray.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
