[NO_RSPECT]

Has anyone re-trimmed their doors and knows how or has a mate who can do em for me cheap, or at least someone who can show me how to do this. I can recover a door, but the nissan doors have a tendency to not come apart into sections that can be retrimmed by a novice. Is there something special that needs to be done to trim the fabric bit that is like black suede or tweed etc.

Also Seats? has anyone done this. I wanna take em out and do it myself cos I know its gotta be possible. or at least if i can make a replica seat does anyone know anyone who can put the new fabric back over the bare seat?

Any info would be good. leads and mates numbas is also a bonus.

feel free to PM

Peace

P.S does anyone know what a set of 4 spacers is worth 25mm possibly

[Sneeza]

OK - this may sound dodgy as - but phone up either casurina or canningvale prison. I'm not sure if they still do public.... They have a guy in there who does upholstry, the best I have seen, He did my friends car and it is really good. Its also cheap. You prolly won't wanna do it - but its a suggestion.

25mm spacers? That's way too much, very dangerous IMHO.

See'ya:burnout:

[NO_RSPECT]

what is IMHO i always see this. shed light ppl

Umm i dunno if thats the size okay lets hypothetical it then, how much are spacers roughly for 4 (any MM vspec ..hehe)

Casuarina hey...umm yes...here ya go lads..have this skyline and hey remember no funny business.

I will consider it sneeza. I am dodgy anyways prolly half my high school mates in there DOH

Honestly if you want an amateurish crap job do it yourself.

If looks are important use a professional if you can.

Most trimmers charge reasonable rates for what they do.

i make lounges for a living no one at work wants to touch mine.sold a lounge to motor trimmers deliver tomorow he said $300 for both i supply the fabric is that a good price?

IMHO = in my honest opinion.

10mm spacers max, means less thread for the wheel nuts to hold.

IMHO can also be In My Humble Opinion

[RB20LagWagon]

Longer Wheel studs are also your friend.

[NO_RSPECT]

hmm lemme see, these spacers bolt onto the hub and then they have their own thread so its like a hub extension. I am confused about the less thread.

doh, sorry fellas i have never seen these things before. so anyways i posted it in the 4 sale for $100 for all 4, dunno if it is even close. it might sound like this to some people,.

Holden commodore 1988 $45000 stock standard. LOL

i hope its not too high a price

NO_RSPECT,

My brother recently made a nice set of 17mm spacers for his 180SX so he could fit 4 pot skyline brakes behind his 18 inch wheels. These things are almost a work of art, they turned out sweeeeet.

Ill try and get some names for you but basically you can get a big round aluminium biscuit from a trade metals shop (i think this is $160 a metre, but you'll only need about 2 x 20mm pieces). Then take it to an engineering place and get them to lathe it all up for you, cost my bro $40.

Then you need longer wheel studs to match of course, wide spacers without long studs is infinitely stupid. Nismo, ARP and a couple of other places sell these.

You could go to C-Red also, i think theyre selling some. But its alot cheaper if you do the leg work yourself.

nah like i said they have their own studs coming out of em so you bolt em on and then you bolt the wheel to the spacer, like a hub extension if ya feel me

Anyways thanks guys,, but Meggala has bought them off me. for $100.

nice
