Talk to Vspec Performance in Melbourne. They know a guy (forgot his name/shop) that do mostly suede & alacantra retrimming but I'm assuming can do leather too.

I would be interested to know what it would cost. Muse seem to be Facebook only - their website looks to be non-existent.

Vspec quoted $650 to refurbish my R32 GT-R wheel a couple of years ago. That seemed like a lot of $$ but maybe that is just what it costs.

There is also this from a similar thread a while ago:

$300 is what I pay. I get mine done through Shaun at Trims in Canberra.

It's not exactly the same leather as oem. I'll post pics of my oem next to a new retrimmed one this evening.

Which I assume is: http://www.trimsbyshaun.com.au/

Mine looks rubbish now so I should get onto doing something about it.

I just called the Canberra guys they said $350-$385 depending on the condition of the wheel he can also rebuild from scratch if needed. I'll post up what muse quotes me once I call them later today.

 

I also got quoted from a guy west of Sydney for $450 for just leather re trim.

I got x trim to do mine. They are in smeaton grange nsw. Was $350 i think. Came out really nice. Not like the stock "leather". Real leather was used. It is a little bit lighter than a stock one but it goes dark if you amourall it.

Workmanship and feel is fantastic

You wouldn't dare put f**king Armourall on leather!!!!!!

I dont use that sort of stuff at all anymore. Spray anf wipe with water and some leather cleaner/conditioner from time to time where needed.

I've had 5 done through trimsbyshaun and the results are top notch. Uses genuine leather. Turnaround is around 5 business days. Maybe a few days more if your interstate.

I have a re trimmed 32 one sitting at Trojan Motorsports in Canberra. $450 exchange.

    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
