hi guys

sorry for the late reply, finally managed to get my arse to g m millane and co at east perth

got a quote for 380 for a leather steering retrim regardless of how many colours are there. they also do retrims / fixing for recaro seats and railing, saw heaps of recaro samples there

also asked for a group thingy for the steering but it'll still be 380 per wheel as manual stitching is required for the steering wheels. u'll prob need to leave the car / remove the steering wheel for 24 hrs for them to fix up yr wheel.

speak to angelo, 9325 5175 and yes, they have experience with skylines.

one more note, what colour would you guys go for a retrim? I'm thinking of going all black but come to think about it, it looks too normal. I currently have the r34, series 2 two tone steering wheel (black on the sides , bronze / silver at the top and bottom). any suggestions ?

Considered black Grey Alcantara with contrasting stitching for that "race" ready look? Would look out of place if you didn't already have seats trimmed to match tho.

hey mate any pics of the "Grey Alcantara with contrasting stitching for that "race" ready look" ?

while you're at it dude just do the whole interior haha nah if that's the case (i'm assuming your interior is identical to Leo's and Sunny's being Series 2) just do it the standard colour again

yup leo's colour. so i'm kinda stuck as to where i can go. thinking of all black but i'm not 100% sure at this stage

lol $400 is cheap for retrim.. its all hand done 'machines can't stitch that sh#t'.

i mean its that or buy a new steering wheel which i got quoted $1200 trade 'no airbag included or center'

=P

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
