hey i went to classic motor trimmers today. some guy quoted me 2500. for the door inserts, front and back seats, the gear and hand break boot, floor carpet, and the repairs to the vynil. what can you do?? i wasnt after anything fancy just normal cloth and the inserts done in red.

thanks

Hey man sorry its taken me so long to reply i been flat out:(

okay i usually do the door inserts for about $60-$80 each. So theres about $250.

front and back seats work out to about $1300 atleast. Skylines are a bit of a mission to trim because the original covers are glued down 90% of the time. Ive done a few of them so i can do them for a decent price but most trimmers will probably quote pretty damn high. Depends really i guess. A trimmer told me today he recently quoted $1800 for front and back seats in a silvia. So yeh it really depends who you see and who can do what etc etc.

through an average trimmer you'll be looking at about $100+ to do the hand break and gear boot, i can do the pair for about $70, and yes ive knocked out LOTS of them haha.

Carpets ide say roughly $350. Give or take.

and repairs to the vynil...? yeh gota be more specific there haha

Thats how everything adds up, at the end of the day it depends whos trimming your car and what sort of a job you want done.

Enjoy:)

If you got an more questions or need any more info give me a call - 0422148875

not suede buddy, its Alcantara. not sure exactly what that is but its artificial leather, i think they use it cos its very light and the supperlegga (spelling ?) is all about weight reduction. its a very expensive high class material though

Can you do trick work like trim my centre console lid in black leather with red stitiching R34 gtr style?

Yeh mate like i said before i can do anything with material:) console lid with black leather and red stiching is as good as done, i can knock that one ova for you this saturday if your intrested. Let me know

hey mate i just wanna do my doors, hand break, and gear boots, and the repairs to the vynil and maybe just the rear seats. could ya give me a price, with and with out the rear seats.

Hey i duno what you mean by repairs to teh vynil? you'd have to send me a pic of show me on your car. rear seats i can do for you, depends on what sort of material etc. can range from about $350-600 on average. Same deal with the doors, around $60-$100 each depending on what material is chosen. I can do your gear boot and hand break boots for $40 each. If you can get a few boots together i can do them for $60 the pair.

    • Interesting reading, regarding people's worry that their Insurance won't end up meaning anything come time to claim. This always worried me also. I had my GTR insured with RACV vintage veteran classic when everyone was doing that around 10 years ago. For the first few years my premium was $300-$350 odd for the year, bear in mind originally the car was only insured for $18k (what i paid for it). after a year or 2 i had increased the value to $25k and then they announced that they weren't insuring skylines anymore and that you couldn't increase the values of existing policies. At first when the values were <45k i wasn't worried and was just happy to have cheap premiums. When i put the car on club plates i called them to let them know and they told me the price of my premium would reduce, (policy was due for renewal the following month) when i got my renewal notice i was stunned to see my premium had gone down to $82 for the year! i read through all the documents and everything seemed fine. I figured it was just some random error that would get picked up on the next renewal, but come time for the next renewal there was an increase.....of around $4 for the year 馃ぃ this went on year upon year, the increases ramped up a little but come 2025 my premium was still only $130. Every year come renewal i would debate whether or not I should go elsewhere and insure the car for it's correct value (around $60k in today's market i would say) but given the low risk (car only does 1000-1500Km per year, and always out of the city) plus the fact as talked about above that they would probably try a wriggle out of any claim anyway I stayed with the cheap premium. My main concerns were as above - 'illegal' mods, nothing major just the usual - turbo's, ECU etc.. Christmas eve (last year) I got up early to go for a drive out in the Yarra Valley, past Healsville, conditions were shit, fog, wet, tree debris on the roads, i decided to head for home and after accelerating past a 4wd who pulled over to let me past in the Black Spur i lost it and ended up sliding into a bank. (If anyone here is on the FB group you will have seen my pictures). Anyway long story short, I had prepared myself that insurance wasn't going to give me anything, but they paid out with no fuss and as the car was over 35 years old (literally by 1 month!) I got to keep the car for free!! Sold the car for $17.5k which went some way towards making me feel better about the under-insurance. Had another claim with RACV 5 years ago when some dickhead crashed into two of my cars writing both of them off out on the street in front of my house. He had no insurance and gave us an old license with a different address on it. One car had full comp so was fine but my runabout N14 Pulsar only had third party, however I put in a claim under the 'Uninsured motorist extension' part of their policy, not expecting much....they paid me out more than twice what i had paid for the car in the first place, plus i got to keep the car, It only required some DIY panel beating on the drivers door to get it to shut properly again and some suspension adjustment to counter the hectic negative camber that had been introduced on the rear. Have  been driving ever since with no problems!   So there you go, Insurance sometimes works out!! I have to say it puts me off getting another Skyline (as the next one would be more modified for sure) worrying about whether or not all the money going towards insurance is actually going to be of use come claim time, wondering if i should just buy a stock M2/M4 and be done with it......
    • I run them with no issues. I switched after having issues with rubber ones, so thought I鈥檇 give it a try. So far after several years no more leaks..
    • Went down and had a chat with him yesterday, nice guy. Will be getting a full custom hard pipe intakes setup done next week! Exhaust, im still figuring out what path to go down. Some are saying the varex's hang too low because of the valve it has at the top
    • Yep, apexi power fc ecu. Yeah I do wish mine had the nistune, can still plug in the console port if you really want to and read codes. Mine can't do that, so gonna be more expensive to diagnose when shit goes wrong and it will eventually lol. I hope haltech is able to pick up on all these fault codes when I upgrade.
