Hate to break it to you guys but Nate sells genuine mats. He just hasn't bothered to take photos.

I have actually been to his house and bought a set of mats off him and let me tell you they certainly are the real thing.

I've told him that his pics suck on his auctions/sites and he knows but doesn't care. His prices aren't too bad either when you consider that you get it now versus waiting for it to ship from Japan. Even tho EMS is quick I still chose to get them now.

Hey sewid :)

Got any pics of the mats you got from him?

Cause the pics on his ebay auctions show fake ones. Not sure why any seller would want to show fake mats if they actually have the real ones.

I'd like to be proved wrong on this one.

The pictures above show the difference clearly.

They are definately the real deal Will, I have also been to Nates and seen them in the flesh, complete with part numbers.

From memory he used pictures which are used on the US market.

Why he wouldnt update the pics is beyond me also, but the fact remains he sells only genuine mats.

My genuine SKYLINE mats look like grey and white pokedotted pieces of crap. They look sooo tacky. Why anyone would choose them in that colour is beyond me.

I'm just a lover of black mats I guess.

Hmmm, so he's based in Sydney? I might have to send him an email.

He's in Roseville Chase just north of Chatswood.

Anyway I do happen to have photo's of these mats installed in my R32. Not great photos but you can tell what the mats are and that they're genuine. The packaging they came in was also a dead giveaway that they are indeed the real deal.

edit: also the quality of nismo mats is great. They are very plush.

These are R32 GTR mats in my GTS-T. Fits almost perfect except for drivers side front which is close enough.

why are some skyline mats in that rough checkered 'david jones' pattern, and others, like mine, are a uniform grey? mine certainly look genuine, with the eyelet and skyline patch on them.

...cause some previous japanese owners had taste.

mine didn't :(

Nengun show the ecr33 nismo mats as discontinued. Can I still get them? (I need to hide the holes in the floor created by my heels and want the genuine mats)...will the nismo mats for the GTR fit properly into my gtst?

Cheers

JB :(

GTR mats fit GTST. Drivers one is a bit smaller since its missing the bit where the transfer case is in the GTR.

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
