Guys i want to get my interior retrimmed in black leather. I've been looking through the yellow pages and found a couple of places:

- D.A Motor Trimming in Botany

- Sydney Motor Trimming in Alexandria

Has anyone got any others they recommend or used one of these guys before?

Thanks

Ask for Bill.

He is sort of out in the sticks.......ie near windsor but he does some quality work, a few summernats competitors are done by him and he is a very nice guy who will take the time out to sit down and show you what sort of materials are available etc...

also try platinum car audio and interiors, they do very high quality work

theyre in rydalmere.

master auto trim are also very very good

van (platinum CAI) was an apprentice at master auto trim

and for some reason every year his work seems to resemble louis work from the year before :P

Hey Chris,

Have you heard of anyone who does alacantara?

T.

Nope :D In fact I had to go to google to find out what you are talking about. Alcantara is a flashy brand of feux leather used in many OEM applications etc right?

I'm sure any decent motor trimmer could hook it up :D

i got a quote for a mates WRX from louis at master

front and rear seats and door inserts

for the same sort of design as my trim it worked out to be about 3K

That's a good price and less than I was thinking. I would be getting the same items retrimmed but not the same style as your seats. I'm thinking i will be making a copy basically of the OEM R34 GTR M-Spec seats. Red stitching and GTR embroidery. Hopefully it will work out to be simpler.

Was that mates rates for you 2GU UP?

Depending on leather selected ( it makes a lot of diff in the price ) and style you can get a car done from about $2500 up .

Kris did you know that M-spec sets have suede on the top sides of the front seats ?

The stitching is gold not red , only the R is red .

i never bothered to ask if it was mates rates or not :(

as WRXHOON said you can get a whole car done for sweet f*k all in shit house leather but you will regret it

its cheap for a reason

louis uses only top quality leather just have a look at his other jobs :)

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
