R32 Skyline Sunfaded Rear Seats

[AtomicBomberMan]

Hi everyone, i have been to the caryards and have checked out all the GTRs for sale in Bribane. I have noticed that almost 99.999% of the ones that were freshly imported from Japan (ie never owned here in australia and still in caryards) did not come with window tint. As a result, the headrest area on the rear seats near the parcel shelf were VERY sunfaded (almost white) has any other R32 skyline owners had similar problems? how did you rectify this problem? i asked nissan how much it would cost to buy new skin for the rear seat, and they said that they didnt sell just the skin for this car (they do for pulsars and maximas) and the whole piece of foam was about 6-8000 dollars! howly cow! I dont really want to get it retrimmed unless they can make it look exactly standard. do retrimmed seats look factory? who can do it in brisbane? what about cigarette burns on the front seats? anyway of getting rid of them? and a skyline GTR steering wheel? can they be retrimmed to look like the standard item? i really dont want any non standard items on my GTR. any recommendations as to where i should go and who to talk to in brisbane? any information or help on how to make the interior look new would be greatly appreciated.

I didnt realise until about 3 months after I bought my r33 gtst when I pulled out the back seat to install rear speakers that the headrests on the rear seat were very noticably faded - but not white. I've got my whole car tinted now so that will slow down the processes. I'm doing nothing about mine because no one looks at the tops of the headrest.

If there is a solution to our problem I might give it a try, otherwise a complete retrim might be on the cards in the distant future.

Good luck with purchasing the GTR, did you know that you can get the car cheaper if you go through a broker such as http://www.j-spec.com.au/ or http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/ to name two. If you decide to go down the broker path you might be able to get thier guy at the auctions in Japan to take photos of all the seats and the parcel shelf/back head rests to help find yourself a good example.
