Worn Seat Driver Side My Options

[HYBRID VL]

Ok got a wear hole in my R33 drivers side seat and yer it annoys me even though its small so i am looking at a few options to what i can do obviously Seat covers is cheapest but i have been thinking about R33 GTR seats.

I know they fit and all but was abit suprise at one place i looked at a pair with door card match @ $1400 is this the going price cause i was only thinking id get away with them for like 300-400 buks or maybe another car with alot of electric options on the seat and get that in there but i want that sporty feel though.

Or i know i can get a pair of WRX seats heaps cheaper and just mod them and wack them in?

Or get a full set of aftermarket seats with rails RECARO,BRIDE or somthing.

Or last idea is reapholstered getting the GTS25T seats Redone sounds good at 1st though it dont have the hugg a bility of the GTR or WRX seats around the sides you guys know what i mean unless they can bolster them or somthing but ill still have the GTS25T style headrests.

Your Thoughts please.

if you're gonna pay for something then don't pay for the same thing (ie don't get the same seats)

so upgrade to GTR/recaro/bride etc. would be my thoughts.

I'm in your shoes though, my seat actually just has a big 'crease' in teh fabric on the corner, seems like it's been sat on for a long time just on the edge...so i went and bought seat covers less than 100$ now looks a LOT better and out of sight out of mind until the time comes when i find the right pair of seats to swap out. No rush, it's not broken, but a little money spent on the covers made me a lot happier.

+1 to Temporary covers. I think mine came from Aldi. LOL

My seat has the "Driver gets in, Driver gets out" wear hole on the door side, my cover is starting to get it too.

Might be time to swap the driver / passenger covers over.

Outa sight outa mind and save dollars til you get to upgrade.

Asked a "motor trimmer" for a free quote? They can even strengthen the supporting rubber if required.

Michael at 17A Amax Ave Toongabbie - same estate as Unigroup Engineering - is good at his trade.

yer mine is the in out wear hole aswell yer if im paying 150 for retrim it would be great but like if its 300 plus im better off getting another style seat and reweld stuff to make it fit.

I dont think i found a quote under $580 for a steering wheel. I could only imagine what a pair of seats would cost.

I picked up a mick pair of 32 GTR seats for under $500. Just keep looking around. They are the best seats of the lot i rekon.

yer its kinda a joke when i see some of these prices people want for rice parts like weather shields and stuff has anyone thought of making Aftermarket parts for these they would make a killing.

has anyone actually got a auto trimmer to repair their front seat? or a quote on it?

i'm in the same boat at the moment... most seat covers i've seen look sh!t lol and when I do find a set that are a good fit etc, they are expensive!

I think i'll look around for an auto trimmer in Perth and when im back next week, go get a quote as well

I simply put a set of throw over seat covers on, look great feel good but u tend to slide around in the corners unfortunately

.... Plus they're red so makes it go faster

It cost me about $150 to mend the bolster on my R33 GTR I think. The trimmer did a perfect job.
