Hi All,

One of the members from this club has asked me to have a visit and explain what I have been doing with FTO seat covers.

I am a long time member of FTO Australia Club.

And I have organised many group buys for both Australia and UK FTO clubs.

I think around 130 sets in total.

These are leatherette covers specifically made for individual cars. I am sure you all heard about this product.

Leatherette is a product many people haven’t have much information about it. However, after seeing the results myself, I fount it to be a great, cheaper and high quality alternative. Final result looks exactly like leather. I am positive that, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between Leather and Leatherette for standard user. It also does’t feel like plastic, feels just like original leather.

However, Leatherette is not a breathable material. This means it might get slightly warmer then leather in the summer months, although, leaving in Melbourne in summer, I have not feel the discomfort of it yet.

Installation process is straightforward. Take off your old covers and put on the new ones. Easily doable on the weekend. I will provide a DIY guide with photos.

I also have the pattern for Skyline seat covers, and about to be order some samples to see the outcome.

These covers produce in Asia and FedEx airmail to individual addresses. I am here to gauge the interest.

The final cost should be around $370. These includes both front and back seats. Production takes around 2 weeks for a mid sized group buy. FedEx airmail takes around 4 days to be delivered and the cost for the postage is around $40.

Inner and outer colours, as well as stitching colour is customizable. Also can embroidered logos and provide extra raw material for door cards, hand break, gear, roof, etc...

Please be aware that, I am not organising a group buy here. I am gauging the interest. Above prices are indicative only.

If there is enough interest, group buy can start.

If interested, can you please update the list below with your selection.

Once we get enough numbers, I can finalise the pricing and start the group buy

Plain red and black exactly like the last picture (but for R33 series 2) would be great.

I know for the R33 GTS-t (not sure about other Skylines), the headrest is removable - how are you going to deal with that?

      That M3 looks like it handles so well, initial slight understeer on turn in followed by oversteer which is cancelled out as steering returns to centre. Looks like such a fun car to drive. In comparison the Skyline and Sierra look like they understeer more and thus need more heavier steering inputs...?

      Common for single gauges to be swapped around. My 33 GTST when I bought it had a GTR tacho fitted, everything else was GTST gauges.

      Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
