Talk to Vspec Performance in Melbourne. They know a guy (forgot his name/shop) that do mostly suede & alacantra retrimming but I'm assuming can do leather too.

I would be interested to know what it would cost. Muse seem to be Facebook only - their website looks to be non-existent.

Vspec quoted $650 to refurbish my R32 GT-R wheel a couple of years ago. That seemed like a lot of $$ but maybe that is just what it costs.

There is also this from a similar thread a while ago:

$300 is what I pay. I get mine done through Shaun at Trims in Canberra.

It's not exactly the same leather as oem. I'll post pics of my oem next to a new retrimmed one this evening.

Which I assume is: http://www.trimsbyshaun.com.au/

Mine looks rubbish now so I should get onto doing something about it.

I just called the Canberra guys they said $350-$385 depending on the condition of the wheel he can also rebuild from scratch if needed. I'll post up what muse quotes me once I call them later today.

 

I also got quoted from a guy west of Sydney for $450 for just leather re trim.

I got x trim to do mine. They are in smeaton grange nsw. Was $350 i think. Came out really nice. Not like the stock "leather". Real leather was used. It is a little bit lighter than a stock one but it goes dark if you amourall it.

Workmanship and feel is fantastic

You wouldn't dare put f**king Armourall on leather!!!!!!

I dont use that sort of stuff at all anymore. Spray anf wipe with water and some leather cleaner/conditioner from time to time where needed.

I've had 5 done through trimsbyshaun and the results are top notch. Uses genuine leather. Turnaround is around 5 business days. Maybe a few days more if your interstate.

I have a re trimmed 32 one sitting at Trojan Motorsports in Canberra. $450 exchange.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
