G'day,

so i have removed my rear seat and installed a roll cage however would like to tidy up the rear area, has anyone else done this?

got any pics of what you did?

suggestions for materials, installation, re-trim companies in WA?

standard side trims cannot be used due to cage fitment so am looking at a carpet overlay of all the exposed metal.

Good thread! I was looking to run sound deadening and a similar carpet up to the parcel shelf as on the street its super loud without the back seat! Also considered cutting the factory rear trims around then cage just to do it cheap and without looking too pov spec! I have seen people paint the inside the same as the car BUT i reckon glare will become an issue in the sun?

as i have removed the sound deadening (for now will see how annoying it is when the car is running) i was just looking at retrimming the whole lot in a similar fabric to the standard carpet just to neaten it all up and keep it looking acceptable as a street car.

i was going to attempt it myself but i have no talent, would rush it and f**k it up :P

THIS i could do!

Ive done a couple of GTR's that where built for targa Tas. Just used a carpet and glued it down. If thats all the cage you have it will be pretty simple to do, but I am a trimmer. I dont have any pics of the ones I did was around 10 years ago when I didnt bother.

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
