Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi All Something im looking to change eventually is my Cloth seats to Leather. Ive seen GT leather seats for sale and im assuming they would just fit straight in on the existing runners ??? But im also thinking would it be easier,cheaper & better to get my old ones re-trimmed in leather with a custom style, like below. You can get the seats covers from US and then its DIY time. I think they look pretty good but I bet they are a biatch to fit. Anyone got any ideas or know of any uk companies doin this kinda thing at reasonable rates ??

rtbiscuit Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 several have had re trims on here, and its much better to get the pros to do it for you, i think its roughly £450 for a leather re trim. might be less but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Phil (ESR) had a guy who did some work on my car and he was very good. I could probably find out contact details if you want. I also seem to remember that CS knows someone and he is closer to you. Alternatively, give R35LEE a shout he can probably get you a set of leather seats for a good price.

3FIDDYZ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yep, GT's will fit on excisting runners, look for lomoto for his seat retrim..... Also looking on ebay for 2nd hand leather recaros, as you can probably pick up a set of used seats and some after market runners for just over the cost of a retrim and then flog our cloth seats!

Yup your right there,a few people had used Precision,more recently though alot more people,myself included bought the Leatherette covers from RiceRocketUk for £275 any style you wanted etc. The fit wasnt awesome for me but no-one ever knew the difference thinking they were leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Never put covers on the zed seats as that would impair the operation of the seat air bags , as stated in the 350z handbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Never put covers on A UK ZED seats as that would impair the operation of the seat air bags , as stated in the 350z handbook JDMs dont have airbags in the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Not really big fan of covers - if you have issues with fit - ie, baggy in places - may be worth fitting some thin felt or foam scrim (thin sheet) in strategic places - this will pull the covers tighter for a nicer finish. For retrimming originals you can try this place - not sure of price though? Auto Trim Manchester ?www.autotrimnorthwest.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
