I've been through quite a bit of wreckers and spares they're either too far from where i live or just too expensive ($60+). so i'm wondering if anyone knows another person wrecking or just selling the boot carpet for a R33 and can let me know for $40 max and still in pretty good condition =] thanks

I just got a quote from Kevin Morris who does Motor trimming & Upholstery.

1) Cut a (butcher) paper template of the exact shape of your boot carpet. Best to copy a mate's boot carpet from the same model car.

2) Buy an offcut of your selected carpet from a secondhand carpet store that is oversize - obviously.

Kevin will cut it exactly to size and sew the edging for $40. Phone 4751.1001

Testimony - he's repaired the driver's bolster on my former R33 GT-R.

Thoughts?

He owns Springwood Upholstery Jeff.

I guess I should have asked Kevin if he can do your job WYW. Sorry.

Anyway give him a call. He's been doing it a long time. The last time I saw him, he was working on Lamborghini seats.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones

      R34 Diff oil

      No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.

      You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
