Looking at getting the wheel re-covered...

Not sure wheather to recover the whole thing, or just the air bag part or just the outside parts...

^^ as above i'd love to see too.

Btw, Adam at one stage CarToys (Hindmarsh) did recovering, they looked pretty good.

might get a quote from them cheers.

And mate that does look great! did they do it with wheel on or off? Who did it?

Also with an airbag wheel, whats the go covering the centre part? Can it be done, or more to the point should it be done???

that looks awsome i gotta get this done for my 32 when its back on the road

ohh and sambo i still gotta grab that gear knob off ya..i totally forgot :rolleyes: soz dude i'll msg ya tonight

That looks pretty sweet bro. Did you have to take off the steering wheel yourself and leave that with them? Which company did you use?

no worries vinnie, i been busy as too, yep just send me a msg when u wanna pick it up

U would'nt be able to get the airbag module recovered as it is made of special material that folds open when the airbag deploys. i would suggest trying armoural on the airbag or failing that maybe even try shoe polish.

As for the wheel, reckon red stitching would look nice

im pretty sure my mates company has the fabric for airbags, i'll have a chat to him about it

if you feel you want to chat to them yourself - they are opposite Hitman/Race solutions

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
