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 :)

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
