Ok, looks like we're almost done. I will be posting up pics this weekend. Using the string + glue + metal wire really turns it from being just a seat cover into a retrim.

Jeez, my gf's parents must either love me or hate me by now, i've lived there for 3 weeks now.

I dunno about everyone else, but I can't make heads or tails of all the posts and different ways people have put their seats on.

JetDat is there any chance of getting some set of instructions or similar from UAT?

Cheers.

Im not sure if its me but the seat not look like they are flat..

what about the curves from the seat???

i guess seat covers are different from an actual interior shop...

but let me know if im wrong.. cause by looking at the Pics the curves are gone...

also just want to know when you sit into the seat does the actual material sink in? cause it dosent look like it stuck the the seat aswell..

Ozan and I put in an effort yesterday arvo and now the passenger seat is in my car - it looks unreal. Shouldn't take more than about 20 minutes per seat for my drivers & both his fronts.

Plan what you're doing, use the strings - crochet hooks are your friend.

Will post pics when done, probably next weekend.

there is a possibility i mite organise another group buy as i have friends who want some at the group buy prices...

but its a bit of work and i dont have the time lately...but i will see what i can do...

ok i just got a quote from a trimmer to rip out the cloth interior, add a bit more padding on the seats and install the covers + door trim + fix the centre console cover for $400.

car is r34 gtt and will be doing it on the 2nd week of october.

will post pix on how it will go.

Nice jonjon, I've found the seats are quite comfy and padded enough, but each to their own! Ozan & I will probably get a professional trimmer to do the door inners and parcel shelf.

Does anyone know of decent car upholsterers etc in Brisbane?

A couple of more pics

Hey Eddie, nice seats.

What colour is your car? Is it the stock silver?

I was trying to figure out what colour would be good for a silver car.

You wouldn't have a faraway pic of your car that shows the seats, do you?

After a mammoth effort, Ozan and my seats are done (pending a few little cleanup steps & replacing back seats).

They look the goods, I will upload some pics of work in progress & the completed product.

Depending how much I'm feeling like a perfectionist, I think I may redo the rear seat-back (the far driver's side strings) as they could line up a little nicer, but in general very happy with how it all went.

My niggle is that the embossing on the rear driver's side is imperfect, probably an inch or so offset so looks askew.

Final stage will involve the door trimmings and parcel shelf, and whatever else I think of if sufficient scrap material remains.

Cheers to Jetdat for organising the buy and Ozan for providing the workshop & extra set of hands where required.

I just want to say thanks to Arman (jetdat) for the awsome group buy.

I had a little trouble with one of my covers and he sorted it all out for me and its getting sent over now!

Tops to you Arman!

    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.   
    • Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.  
    • Damn it, no, I topped up before I got to yours I really should look at Costco locations more when I'm out and about burning through fuel
