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.

    • Next pic will probably bring back Charlie's PTSD So yes, pump is back out. I hooked the fuel return up to a hose into a container to flush out the first litre or 2, jumped the Fuel Pump relay and.......nothing.... Turns out the pump I had pulled out, checked, cleaned everything....was dead.  I hadn't actually hooked 12v to it to check it worked before I put it back in. Anyway...Neil had kept the old pump which still worked, so I just swapped it back in. All good, flushed the lines out, ready to start
    • OK....so something that works like it said on the tin! Fitting the pressure feed into the car was an absolute PITA because the oil filter is in the standard location and then there is a fitting to run to the oil cooler. On the other side between the filter and the steering box is the standard oil pressure sender (not working for some reason, something to check) and 2 tapped 1/8 BSP threads for the oil temp and pressure gauges. Unfortunately it is really tight in there and it took a hours of stuffing around to get a t fitting to connect the priming pump and retain the gauge sender.  Also, the Aeroflow sump has some massive drain plug (needs a 32mm spanner) so I couldn't use the regular fitting there either. In any case....once it was all hooked up, like magic priming.mp4 15 sec, 3 bar of oil pressure. Left it running a couple of minutes to push through everything, looked good   
    • Yeah the latest style kit has been trouble free, I've done a fair few klm on it including pushing a bit on low fuel and it hasn't been surging (that's not an endorsement for race use, I haven't tried that low, or that hard cornering!). For street use it has been a good thing, handles the high current OK, only real issue is it is not cheap
    • So, how do you feel about the Frenchys surge tank setup @Duncan? Have you had a chance to try it out more? The sketchy wiring in my fuel pump setup has decided to melt and die and I'm looking for a solid replacement now. My fuel hat is toast so the Frenchys kits providing it all look promising.
    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
