Leather Style Gtr Seats

[Tonkachow]

Has anybody had or seen the leather style GTR seats for sale on this site in one of the for sale section. I am looking for new seats preferably leather and come across the Leather GTR style ones Just Jap sell. Can anyone tell me if they are a good replacement for the standard 33 GTR seat quality wise or am I going backward. They look ok on the site, but it seems most people opt for the more expensive Recaro or other brand name seats which I simply can't justify to my self.

Thanks

Honestly the best option would to just fork out a grand or so and get yours redone in leather in what ever colour and style you want, I'm going to be doing the same down the track.

The Just Jap leathers are fairly nice seats, my mate used to have a pair in his shop a few years back, however the quality wasn't that fantastic on stitching and padding which made me think they would probably not take a lot of wear and tear and you could tell why they were so well priced. Don't get me wrong, they might be a lot better nowadays, but they won't be the same quality as a set of leather Bride's or Sparco's etc.

Also with after market seats the costs go up a little bit more than just the seats themselves due to needing a mod plate for them and vehicle specific seat rails as well which is another added cost.

The cheapest, best quality leather option that i looked into was to get the GTR ones re-trimmed.

The GTR seats are great. I'd definitely speak to some timmers, they vary a bit in price. Getting one to show you his work who works from home and is cheap is the best (value) bet. I have a trimmer here in Canberra who will be doing mine later in the year and has done plenty of others for me in the past.

Thanks for that. I was thinking of retrimming my GTR seats but a couple of places I did ask didn't give me much option in terms of leather colour. I am not a big fan of the cream yellow leather getting around and was hoping I could find someone who would give me a few more options. Also I have seen some retrimmed and didn't think the quality was anything like that of a brand name seat. If any of you guys know's of a good retrimmer around Sydney, let me know.

Cheers.
