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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
