Morning all,

Wondering if anyone here has managed to get a good pair of front seat covers for a 33?

The only ones I've been able to find are the "universal" ones which are usually cheap crap and don't fit or the hand made and stupidly expensive ones ($300+ for a pair!)

Can anyone point me in the right direction where I could find a pair of covers? Ones that actually fit, don't look schit and don't cost $100's?

Cheers

Adam

Hey all,

Sorry for the delayed reply - stupid spam filter! - and thanks for the reply sydking

Whilst i have managed to keep my seats clean for the 6 years i've had the car, I cant say the same for the drivers side bolster.. It has the usual wear mark/hole on the drivers side bolster.

I've spent ages looking for seat covers, but keep coming back to virtually the same two. Either a custom leather one ($300+ a pair!) or some crap looking throw over, universal ones.

I got a quote the other day from an auto trimmer to repair the seat bolster... $150-$200 and will be the closest matching colour they can get, but will obviously be different and cant account for the fading of the rest of the seat.

Has anyone managed to find a pair of front seat covers (even universal ones) that actually fit the seat, not throw over type?

Thanks

Adam

Ultimate Auto Trim located in Melbourne, hit them up a email of what exactly it is you want. The seat covers are custom tailor made to suit your vehicle and the material they use are leather vinyl. I got this quote for my 33 gtst: front pair, back seats, door trims and centre console with Nissan embroided into the seat covers all up for $590 + shipping. And to point out the obvious it is all DIY.

Cheers for the reply mate. I looked them up online and was surprised, as they were one of the custom seat cover makes I had found on Ebay - I just didn't recognize their name :)

It def looks good, but way out of the price range at the moment.

I bought a set of generic seat covers for "Nissan's" from a car store last week but unfortunately the side bolsters fo the bucket seat stopped it from fitting properly. Cant believe how hard it is to find just some general seat covers that fit the R33 seats.. Without costing the earth lol.

Does anyone know if the R33 bucket seats are actually a re-branded and re-covered seat? I think I vaguely remember reading somewhere that they might be re-covered recaro seats?

Cheers

iv had the ultimate auto trim seats in now for 4 years and so glad I did it. If you are planning on keeping the skyline long term then this is the best thing you can do.

Never regretted it. :)

This is the seat covers etc after 4 years. been a bit slack and never gotten around to doing the door trims tho.

    • So left off with high hopes of having a gearbox in pretty quickly........ Got the adapter plate that week and had to chase a few threads and work out how/where everything goes as no instructions. Got the adapter fitted, test fitted gearbox and found had to cut and shave a few things. Tunnel required some hits with a decent hammer to give some clearance on passenger side but it fits with no problems,  could fit a 8hp70 with a little more work. For a cross member I wasn't going to spend $1100 on so shiny machined piece. Went through a few designs and remembered I had a gktech s chassis to cd00# cross member. Fitted that and found its close enough with a few extra bits welded so have gone that way and still a work in progress.  After this got into modifying the intercooler with some bends and clamps. I was procrastinating on this as was not keen to cut up and weld it myself but happy with the outcome.  Onto the radiator shroud and oil cooler mount. This thing took way longer than I thought it would but having to add an extra oil cooler for the trans and wanting everything within the chassis rails its good enough for now. It mounts to the chassis and gives plenty of room for lines and pipes. All the coolers are rubber mounted and sealed the shroud on the top and sides, will use some tape to seal the bottom gap of about 10mm. 20250508_111500.mp4   Next job was to build the new diff and after a delay with a friend got built this week. I ended up putting it all together with supervision and was good to learn how to set one up correctly. I ended up going a 3.69 ratio, nismo 1.5 way gt pro with gtr Axel's. Stripped it all down, gave all the parts a good clean, pressed on new bearings and set backlash. Was good working in a clean assembly room with all the gear. Once got home wire wheeled the case and hit it with some rollbar/chassis black paint. Got a few more bits done but will leave them for the next update.
    • That could be drilled, ground and welded. Would stop it progressing and leaking. But that block shouldn't be pushed very hard, as what you see there is a massive warning sign. But that fix also isn't going to happen properly with the engine in the car, and assembled. So you're looking at anew block if you're doing all that work anyway.
    • It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.
    • Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.
    • What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?
