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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
