Hi guys, i took out the speaker the other day and noticed a small amount of water collecting inthe bottom of my door. Obviously this is not the best thing so i look at the external rubber strip the window slids up and down agains and there is a bout a 3-4mm gap. I take it this needs replacing???

My questiong is 1# is this a DIY job or for the cost and effort (like is it relativly cheep) should i take it somewhere

2# where do i take it, a windscree place??? Nissan Dealer (genuin parts woudl be expensive)

Really im just after soem advice, surley someone must have been through the same thing.

You have a 3mm gap with the door open? I don't know if you've noticed, but when you close your door with the window up, the window actually moves out as it hits the frame of the door (rubber). That keeps it tight and stop the water from coming in through the top of the window.

You could check that the window-guides are tight. They are the little furry pads with an adjustable lock-screw on it. They can be seen with the door trim removed, so you should be able to get a socket on them no worries.

As far as water in the door, mine does that too, but looking at the design, it seems to be a normal thing? There are drainage holes in the bottom, but I don't get a LOT of water, just a little bit when I go through a pressure-wash or something. Even the speaker has the top covered, in what looks like an attempt at keeping it dry. The bottom of the speaker pod is completely open.

Thanks for that man long time no speak :(

Yeah i noticed it move a little, just though it was strange that there was water inteh bottom and it seems to have more down the bottom then the othe window =/

If it was a seal as the other isn't as bad what type of place would you reconmend going.

Heh! It has been a while, eh? Hope the car is still going well for ya! I have been up the central coast a few times since you were last down!

The seal, it'd be pretty specific, so start with Nissan, get a genuine price, then call a wrecker such as JustJap and ask them what they want for a decent used one. They don't usually have a set price or stock of little things like that, but Darren is always keen to help you out, and will try and find one off a half-cut for you.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
