Have a look at Top Cat in Phillip, if they're still around. I have seen a few cars in auto mags over the years that have had the work done there. Looked OK in the glossies.

My advice - Check out previous works in person tho b4 committing.

There's a particularly handy fella by the name of Phil that owns Capital Transport Upholstery in Hume:I've seen his work:really knows what he's doing! And Hume is reasonably convenient,location wise,for most of us,yes?!

i agree with the call from LTSJayce, Phil does a real good job, his work is very reasonably priced aswell. in my old car, he covered my entire back seat, two buckets and a centre console arm rest, i think it was around 1100 for the lot, had a pretty quick turnaround time aswell.. just watch out for his dog - its massive!

Jayce / fat rat

thanks guys sounds good, saw his sign today but looked like it might be more 'industrial', I guess not.  

He's a bit of everything:I've seen Harley seats to Tarago interiors to Bus stuff to full Steet Machine interiors being put together at Phil's.Plus he's a good guy(no,he wont try to get you to pay cash for whitegoods...)!

The KAM guy ripped me off $600 on my new Recaro's in Nov 2004. I am told he was moving to Queensland.

Info from the new Recaro rep.

the place in fyshwick is KAM motor trimming. he's a nice bloke. my friend's mum bought his black 02 rex from him before he moved onto the new one.

opposite domayne (collie st. in fyshwick).

he has also had many cars featured in mags over the last few years.

i just saw captial auto trimmers in hume, to recover the stock r33 front seats alone in a two tone trim in good quality leather (his words) would set me back approx 2grand, he doesnt do steering wheels. Dunno if that is good or bad but it is the first place I have been to.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
