Take them out and get at them with a pressure hose, gerny etc

YEAH if your car is going to be used as a TAXI :headshot:

Mate i would not do that, Being a motor trimmer myself i would not advise anyone to do this. What will happen is water will eventually rust away the seat frame itself and saturate the foam which will cause it to slowly fall apart and your car will eventually always smell damp mildew will form and your arse will get wet. Also it would take days in the sun or under lights to dry.

The best thing to do is grab yourself Soap and water is the best thing to

A Bucket any interior including Leather

A Scrubing Brush forget armaroil and all that crap

Some Soap They do more bad then good...

And Some Warm Water

and start scrubing

or you could go buy some of that upholstry cleaner crap from Autoone ect and give it a go.

Cheers Bro

What would happen is your seat frame will start rusting causing many complications.

The Foam its self will be saturated and eventually start falling apart,mildew can start to form and your car may smell damp and your arse will get saturated for days after.

This is also a bad idea if your seats are electrical.

The best thing you can do is grab your self.

A Bucket

A Scrubing Brush

Soap

and Warm Water

This is the best thing to use on any interior upholstry including leather although you will also need to condition leather as well.

To all you guys that use armaroil and all that crap Stop your killing your interior very slowly.

Are you talking about leather? or all the plastics aswell.  

if so, then teach us Obi-wan.....

Do not use ANY silicone based product on anything in your car. When the product dries up, the silicon starts to shrink and can, eventually, dry out your dash and crack.

Only use a non-silicone, UV protectant, product just ask your car accessories supplier.

PS: Hey Jayson, How have you been? I am trying to get my car back together b4 the interstate meet up in May, so hopefully we could catch up then. :D

My Car came with pretty clean seats (luckily) but still a bit smelly and dirty.

I just grabbed a can of Interior cleaner(Kitten) and cleaned the seats with that foam spray and some warm water on a rag. they came up really good, as for protecting them, I USE SEAT COVERS!

mark :D

The new preen carpet cleaner is sensational. Spray on, wipe off with dry cloth the give a light rub with a damp cloth. Grease and oul stains just disappear.

I was going to reccommend Kenco Shift-It.

Worked a treat on all my seats and headlining.

Spray on, wipe with a damp cloth, then blot with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.

Gentle enough to use on fabric, and strong enough to clean oil, grease and dirt scum from the engine bay.

(Not sure if I'd want to put carpet cleaner in the engine bay?)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
