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?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
