What kind of prices do Ideal Seat offer? Do they also stock Bride seats? I may buy a couple of f**ked ones and get them retrimmed, instead of buying brand new ones.
They only do Recaro, AFAIK. Start at around $1G. May not be cheap, but try getting a new genuine seat from Nissan and see what it costs you! The other beauty of Recaro (and other aftermarket) seats is that when you sell your car, you pull the seat and fit it to your next car. Then they become really inexpensive.

If you want your seats re-trimmed, there's a guy out in Ringwood, near the Autobarn store, does a good job. Can't recall his details right now.

Cheers thanks for that, I thought Ideal may have sold second hand Recaro's aswell. I'll definately keep that trimmer in mind, but it's a bit of a hike for me :lol:

I just need something that will keep my bum on the seat when I'm sliding :rolleyes:

I don't thikn ideal do recaro anymore. I recently tried to source new recaro seats - and found it very dificult.

Best to get 2nd hand ones and retrim them. I had the retrim done through blackman and sons in morabbin. was well done.

I thought Ideal were the only supplier of genuine recaros in Australia?

98% sure they still do recaros. Wait, make that 100%, just read the article in this months HPI about the recaros in the R34 GTT.

    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I though you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
