Much more expensive option is to get something like a Recaro. That way, not only do you keep your GTT seat nice and clean, but you don't "wear it out". And you get a decent seat to sit in, which you can move from car to car as you replace / upgrade cars.

Otherwise, just try Autobarn or the like. Or I'm sure there are companies around that could make a set of custom fit sheepskin covers.

autobarn has a decent range of throw over covers...they look pretty good

they have the wank factor NOS 1's...bit gay if u ask me....ill be getting the AXS 1's when i get my skyline, ill get them in black....they're just dark black, with the AXS logo embroided into them, and the logo looks pretty good

i dont think they are that expensive

Where abouts are you from?

If sydney, then Autojoy in Parra

2 red ones, they have AXS branded ones but I got the one with no logos.

I think they were $35 each, no logo or $40 with.

Mate of mine got personalised ones for his SSS where they sew whatever logo or lettering you want, he got it from carmate on Villawood road. I noticed it was the same material too, pretty high quality and looks hard wearing.

Another guy I know got Snap on branded ones, they were $70 each :P

He had to buy it off a snap on techo who travels around in a van

If your in Melbourne, there is a joint in dandenong that does custom pleather seat covers for around $500 a car. I had the front seats done on my FC RX-7 and they were shit hot! No one could tell that they were covers nor fake leather. They fit perfect, and i'm organising a group by with my mates in a few weeks time to get the skyline done.

It might be a bit overkill for your needs, but all the seat covers in auto barn are absolutely S**T!

My mate recently got NOS ones and i absolutly HATE them, they only cover the seats 1/2.

Another mate recently got playboy ones (not the best brand i know) but his cover front and rear of the seat and are a much tigher firmer fit... i'd rather get these despite the wanky playboy logo.

the AXS, NOS, and i think snap-on as well...they all cover the front, but you mean at the back where they tie off with the velcro yeah....doesnt go all the way to the bottom of the seat...

Go to www.nismo.com.au, they have some good ones with 'Skyline' or 'GTSR' logos on them. Only come in black or blue though.

"Oh no it's the cops!"

"Worse, the police cops!"

have you ever seen these in a car? the skyline 1's look good, but do they have the same problem as the AXS and NOS 1's that dont cover the whole back of the seat?

I was thinking of a set for my 4x4 of those.

How much cheaper will the 2 tone be with the group buy?

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
