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.

    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
    • 1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
