Hi all,

As much as I really like the leather on my new V, I'm looking at getting seat covers to protect the leather. I use the car daily and I'd rather have a cover than risk ruining the seats.

To that end, does anyone know if the 350z seats are the same as the V? Ive found some places that can do custom covers for the z, but none for he v. Or does anyone know someone who stocks/can make the covers?

I'm not looking for leather retrim or anything like that.

Cheers

I have been looking for some for the sedan. but haven't had much luck.

There are some leather type covers that pop up on ebay every now and then, but they want about $500 just for the fronts or rears, which is far more than I intend to spend.

When I get around to it, i will have a look around on USA suppliers. G35 covers should be mostly the same..

I think having covers over leather will not stop them from being damaged - you will probably prevent scratches and scuffs but the cover will still slide around, and may possibly stain, if not good quality

Main thing with leather is keeping it clean and treated regularly. Also avoiding bad habits such as sliding your butt (or back) over stitched edges and wearing pants with sharp studs or zippers etc

Is this to keep the leather nice for the next owner? Seems a shame to cover it up...

Just been really curious about the whole seat covers thing since I arrived in AUS 12 years ago... In the UK generally you only have them to "upgrade" a plastic seat or when you have unmentionalble stains you want to cover up..

I think its more a case of having something nice and keeping it nice while its in your possession, not so much thinking about the next owner

Personally I hate ruining anything with careless use and don't like having broken or damaged stuff that I worked hard for. Getting more cash when it comes to sale time is only a bonus

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?

      I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
