I somehow managed to get a crack in windscreen which is unrepairable so i have to replace my windscreen ...

Getting the windscreen is not a problem but getting the little seal off for around the window is ... the Obriens glass man said i would have to order it from over seas.

The reason being because the seal in a skyline has a wire running through it (simialr to a celica) the generic brand wont hold the screen properly =(

So the short of it is is there a generic brand of seal that will work or has anyone here had the same prob and used a seal from another car???

With careful removal of the mould you will be able to reuse it again . Leave the car in the sun to soften it up before removal .

i'll try that thanks wrxhoon ...

but it would be much appriciated if someone could tell me where to get one just in case

Nissan Dealer mate ,

I deal with Hornsby , they are good they know all import parts , they were 1 of only 2 dealers that sold the 32 GTRS .

But you should be able to reuse it mate, i have done in the past .

If o'brein dont do it p.m. and if you prepared to come to Sydney i'll send you to my windscreen guy , he will be cheaper than o's as well.

i used the std seal used on new falcons, you cut it to size yourself and works a treat.. looks brand new, the old one is hard and mine couldn't be re-used .. got it from o'briens too.

used it on the front and rear, looks great.

Thanks for the advice guys i got the windscreen replaced by O'Briens ...

They quoted $350 and when they installed it only charged ($218 hehe =P)

The standard seal did work also but had to use silicon to make sure it stayed in place because no matter what you do the back half of it get torn off...

Neway thanks again ...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
