What Discontinued Trim Do You Want Back?

[Junsei]

Hey guys! 

We're Junsei Auto Parts from Sydney and we remake discontinued interior trim, 1:1 identical to OEM quality.

We've been bringing back discontinued interior trim for the R32 and JZA80 Supra. So far we've remade the R32 Stereo Fascia Surround and the Dash Defrosters, pics below 👇

We're here to ask what discontinued parts do you want back? Not limited to any Skyline! Drop your suggestions and we'll see what we can do!

At least the hinge, if not the whole lid, for the armrest. Not the normal low height, longer armrest that was standard. The taller, shorter length one with the cupholders under it that was an uncommon option.

Like this OEM option? We can do that, we could definitely do the whole lid, OEM leather and all.

Yuh, I have that one and the hinge is broken and the vinyl on top is cracked from years of elbows. I have been meaning to put effort into doing a better job of repairing the hinge (already done once, years ago, didn't last) and retrimming the top. But new made replacements would be even better.

The hinges are very low science, basically just being folded plastic. Any effort spent working out what to do to fix it on this lid would probably (maybe only possibly, depends on whether there's any commonality) be applicable to the normal lid's hinge too.

Would you prefer a complete arm rest lid unit or a cheaper DIY kit that includes vinyl and new hinge?

[GTSBoy]

For me, just a DIY kit to replace the hinge and vinyl/padding. The rest of mine is structurally sound.

Whether you would find enough takers (for even that much effort spent) to justify the work is a harder thing to estimate, as there are very few of these out in the wild.

If you were to make the whole thing, including the armrest for the top part and the cupholder that replaces the original armrest, you might be able to sell them to people who would like to upgrade. If there are enough of them, that is.

Yeah that's a tricky thing to figure out. We'll do some polls to get some more info. Where should we post them?

Thanks man!

If you want to do polls on here, then this forum is as good a choice as several others, better than most.

You might want to contact the admin to inquire about "advertising". There are some rules.

Would love the long dash vents for the windscreen demister for an r32

Actually, given that one of mine is in 2 pieces, I agree with this.

Didn't Nismo just announce they're making these? https://www.nismo.co.jp/news_list/2024/news_flash/24005.html

[r32-25t]

Looks like it, I don’t pay the much attention to what nismo are doing

700 bloody Nismobux!

It's worth it because you can flip it for 1400 USD on Americans that can't look up part numbers for some reason.

And they also confess that they just 3D printed them! Which makes me wonder if they will buckle in the heat worse than the originals did. Perhaps I need to hire a Chinese hacker to get the print files out of Nismo's server?

Not necessarily, completely depends on how its printed and what material they use. i cant see Nismo using a $200 FDM printer and PLA 

[Junsei]

The R32 defroster vents were definitely on our to-do list, but now that Nismo announced that they're remaking them we're not 100% sure if we should as well, they did however state that the vents will be 3D printed, which may be the reason as to why its a 3 piece design rather than the original 2 piece design.

That being said we were planning on remaking these using Injection moulding which is how the originals would've been manufactured, and they were definitely going to be priced lower than what Nismo is currently pricing their vents. As for the material we were looking at using AES plastic, which is like ABS plastic but has UV protection properties. 

As of right now we'll just have to wait and see whether the Nismo vents are up to standard or not and we'll go from there.
