So this happened today....fitted them up. they look sexy.

i broke off just about every clip of the old ones when removing them lol.

the new ones were maneuverable enough to put on with the seats in place but considering the money i paid for these i removed the back seats and detached the lower trims to fit these.

How hard is it to fit them and get the seats out?

The base of the rear seat pops out of the mounts. The back is held in by a couple of bolts at the bottom. After they are removed the seat lifts out.

As for the lower trims there is a small plastic trim piece where the seat belt comes out of which is held in by one screw. Just pop out the lower trims.

The lower bolt of the rear seat belt needs to come out to go through the trim.

Just take your time and dont break anything lol

any know the part number for the handbrake boot??

Edited by WantGTR

You have to buy the whole back part of the consol to get the hand brake boot

i was afraid of that. i have an ebay spec one at the moment. its not bad but i do need to reseat/refit it neatly.

and you would anyway, always broken clips.

no broken clips here haha

Geez, this makes me want to checkout my RHD cart...

I'm also in an interior revamp mode with inspiration from various SAU build threads/google/magazines etc

currently done, triple gauge/dash LED's, superior auto CF-look gear/brake boots, suede covered a-pillars from a tweeter install, duracon shifter, dash mat.

current wishlist, centre vent, c-pillars, window rubbers, floor mats, lighting, door handles, r34 pedals.

what's next for you?

theres so many good cars on here isnt there! going for a minimalist approach to the interior. instead of having a stack of gizmos and gadgets i have replaced all the worn out/broken stuff and just want a tidy interior.

i actually just had all the seats out and had them dry cleaned. honestly about 90% better. next up i want to retrim my steering wheel. was thinking of getting a nardi or sorts but i like the stock wheel. a new one from nissan is about 1k. speaking to a couple trimmers. see what happens.

Can actually GET them from Nissan or are they out of stock?

Kudos has one for $770pp. You'd need to check if its for the right year.

I've ordered a Nardi deep corn suede 350mm/80mm offset and WB boss kit (suede to match rest of interior details).

My approach is maintain a stock look/color scheme but update select items/replace broken OEM items.

Good idea, my seats need a good clean, probably with the rest of the interior actually

They are available from nissan and kudos...

Getting a nardi would be the cheaper option but theres just something about the stock wheel i love. Maybe its the simplicity.

As far as a retrim is concerned ive been quoted about 300-400 for a factory style refinish

Where did you end up getting your gear boot surround and gt500 gear knob from??

Check out RHDjapan

so after fitting the new gear surround i thought it was a shame to fit a new part on a hacked up stereo surround. i ended up selling my double din TV and bought a single din deck. wanting to go for the original look i bought a new stereo surround from nissan. its a thing of beauty.

im about to fit it up but i am waiting for a replacement middle console which isnt hacked up. FYI GTR and GTSt ones are different! the GTR has a taller transmission tunnel hence a slightly shorter console. its important to have the right one as the console between the seats will NOT meet up to it.

Will post pics when it is back together. Watch this space for more factory awesomeness.

went for the textured one eh. i quite like the gloss black. a friend took his out and had it painted and cleared like 10 times in piano black. the deep gloss is magical..... but dust sucks.

i quite liked the double din look with the AC in the ashtray.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
