Hi, im a newbie to skylines and just doing my homework before taking the plunge.
Im a big fan of leather interiors but it seems that the skyline will either need a retrim or different seats with a trim to match up the rears.
Was there only one colour (light grey) for the R33 GTR seats as there is a thread about chris singletons old uk model and it seemed to have darker grey seats with red inserts.

I think the fabric is the same, and the difference is the early jap ones had purple/bluey stiching and the later jap and uk ones had red stiching.

Model Specs

Early cars had light grey cloth with purple stitching. Later models had Very dark grey with red stitching.

There are some 33's with leather trim as standard (like mine):chuckle:

When did they change? version 3 1996 onwards? vycka25s 1998 car looks to have the light grey with blue stitching interior.

Sean, i take it your factory leather interiors are as rare as hens teeth?

Had leather put in my 96 model 6 years ago now and it cost approx £1000 then so I guess it could be cheaper now.

Best regards Alan

I'm by no means an expert but I believe so.

The reaction at RB Motors when they saw it for the first time was;

'Oooh One of the posh ones!'

That'll do for me!:chuckle:

That interior is gorgeous

 

[skyline_boy]

my cousins 98 R33 GTR had dark purple leathers with red stitching i think or it might have been dark black

 

[dave100]

very nice indeed sean! really sets the car off :bowdown1:

skyline boy, was that a factory interior or custom?

Leathers

Out of the 100 U.K cars, only 20 had leather interiors. None of them were standard from factory. Middlehurst commisioned, I believe Connelly's to supply and trim the said 20 vehicles, mine is one of them, I'll put up some pics over the weekend. There are a few more with copy interiors about? The originals had the door card inserts piped in leather also.

 

[dave100]

pupsi, you read my mind i was intending to phone nissan today to ask about factory spec interiors!
Looks like il just have to budget for a retrim or else two new bucket recliners up front.
Il think about it once i have bought a car :chuckle:

 

[R1 Nismo]

You can always get your interior trimmed yourself, like i did. All in Anthrasite, combination of fine and perforated Nappa, Door cards, Rear shelf, Rear Quarter cards, Seats, Center consul, Headlinning and sun visors

 

[dave100]

Very nice job R1!

Looks expensive tho. £1.5K?

I haven't got a better picture at the moment but the UK cars supplied with leather all had 'SKYLINE' embossed on the seats.

I chose the leather to match the standard V-Spec interior colours.

I ordered the interior when buying my car new and is was listed as a £2K optional extra.
