A good conditioner. I use Meguiars Gold Class leather conditioner around three-four times a year and avoid the sun where possible. Otherwise, I just gauge it by how dry it looks and give it another whack.

Sun is a big one.. Wherever possible protect it from the sun.

I used to use meguiars products, but found they left the surface very shiny looking and not natural feeling, I have been using zaino products for a few years now after advice from a car detailer, I've been happy with their stuff.

Zaino you say? Hmmm. Always happy to try something new if it's better.

:) it also smells like leather.. Which is a bonus.

Don't think you will find it at your average supercheap/autobarn. I had to order it from one of the car detailing suppliers online.

Meguiars and all other on the shelf auto producs are substandard "avereage crap!" will not remove stains but rather discoulor leather! go to your local Horse sadle retailer and get:

  1. effax® Leather-Cream-Soap
  2. Effax Leather Balsam

Top notch, supiriour quality used by Ferari, AMG, Lambougini etc Car show detailers. It reguvinates soft and hard leather sadles from worn to new!! and is around $20 each for about 100 applications!

I even use it on our leather sofa! it's jaw dropping amazing!!!!!

Just be careful with some Sadle products. Auto leather is coated to help protect it from UV. Some non-auto leather cleaners will strip this coating

Pretty much all automotive leather is coated with polyurethane and needs the right product. Creams and balms won't absorb and will sit on top of the coating, looking oily and attracting dirt

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
