So my G6E just clocked 100,000kms and I got fed up with the drivers seat bolster being all crushed and mangled when sitting on it. The leather in that area was worn, still in ok condition but the foam underneath was just weak. Passenger side was immaculate so I thought...Time to swap! The backrest of the seat is not swappable due to the side airbag being on the respective side. However the bottom seat foam and leather are identical pieces left to right. Sorry for not taking photos of the process. Was my intention to do so but I got carried away. Start of by removing both seats. - Remove all the plastic trim to expose the 4 seat bolts - Using a T50 torx bit unbolt both seats - Carefully tilt the seat back and unplug the various electrical connectors - Now lift the seats out of the car into an area where you can easily work on them Now we need to get the bottom foam piece swapped - Finish removing the remainder of plastic trim from the seats - There are 2 bolts on each side holding the backrest to the bottom of the seat - Undo these and lay the seat base next to the backrest. - There are a few wires running between these two pieces for the airbag. I just left them connected - Next starting at the back of the seat unclip the leather from the seat base. - It's held on with long plastic sleeves that hook over the metal edge of the seat base - Once its all unhooked....CAREFULLY....lift the leather away from the seat base - There are strong velcro strips in each recess of the seat foam that keep the leather taught - Make sure you dont pull the velcro off with the leather! - Now that the leather is removed you should be able to see the foam. It just lifts off the seat base - The passenger side will have a sensor glued to the foam (passenger occupancy sensor) which is part of the airbag system - Carefully remove this (I used a knife and slowly cut it away) and glue it to the other foam piece with upholestry glue At this point I went to town cleaning the leather, the seat rails and the interior of the car underneath the seats. - Now just reassemble everything and your done! Took me about 4 hours Few snaps During the mess Passenger side finished. You can see the worn leather and compressed foam Drivers side looking brand new!

Hi guys, Ive recently fitted a process west stage 1 intercooler and piping to my G6E. Had to shave about 3mm off the centre bar to clear the intercooler end tanks. Extremely satisfied with the quality of the kit but no matter how much fiddling with angles and what not had to do some trimming to the lower part of the front bumper to clear the pipes as they leave the intercooler. Has anyone ever had any isses with the siicone bends contacting the outer edge of the bumper support panel? My hot side piping is touching and im concerned that it may rub through in time. Does this happen? Or is it fine to leave it resting up against the spot weld lip. I've attached a photo of where im talking about. Thanks

Another option is the PWR replacement oil/coolant heat exchanger unit. It seems to be a really nice bit of kit and no mucking around with wiring or running oil lines etc.

ive got cashmere! I love it and everyone goes on about how hard it is to keep clean but ive had no problems. I use zaino leather shampoo and conditioner on it once every few months and the leather comes back bright and soft just like new and yeh bitches love it The floor mats do get filthy though so I think ill be getting some black ones shortly!

ive just bought a g6e turbo. Im 22 and rating 1. AAMI was the cheapest by far at $1100 for the year fully comprehensive, and that includes ncb protection and windscreen my vs senator I had previous costs me $2000 a year and that was insured for 4 times less agreed value! cant believe how much money im saving stepping into the g6et!
