Seat Covers For 33 Gts-T

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.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
