My rear seats are now re-upholstered in top grade German Wollsdorf leather as used in the First Class of Airbus A380, which I sourced locally.

Robert at Doyle's Leather of Artarmon in Sydney did a great job re-upholstering the seats, even sourcing the special grey thread to closely match the arm rest and door trim stitching.

Here are some before and after shots of factory vinyl and custom leather.

Very nice, much better looking than the dodgy stuff you had up front.

How much did this cost to do if you don't mind answering?

Thanks, the front seats will be fixed shortly too.

Speak to Robert at Doyle's. I provided the leather which was double the price per sqm they would normally use. I also had to buy a whole hide and almost half is still left over.

I am guessing, but if they did it all using their own leather, it would come in at around $1000 or so.

Did you have the red inserts taken out of the front seats as well.. Why? I like them.. It's obviously a premium as it's got the Bose woofer in the back.. The back seats look very nice.. What sort of money did it cost? I would have gone with a different stitch colour to make it look more seemless, but a great idea either way.. Very Nice..

The "BEFORE" shot is a general GT-R photo from the internet, not my specific car. I was only concerned about the rear seats.

My front seats still have red perforated inserts as all Premium cars do.

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
