Hi guys,

I want ro replace the window seals that run (on the car body) from the height of the door handle up the frames, across the top, then down to the base of the a-pillar. I have been quoted prices from $40 all the way to $440... surely they are not all talking about the same part. this is my problem i want the right part. Has anyone ever replaced those seals? if so can you please share with me the part number and price?

I really do need it urgently. thanks for anyone that can help. :laugh:

It's the soft rubber seal that the window seals up against when the door is closed.

ok, well i ascertained which one it is. the window seal costs ~$500, and the hard plastic bit that goes above it is ~$250. basically approx $800 per side. then you still have the lower seals. around $100 there, so to renew just the main window seals in your 32 is a $2000 proposition. then you still have, quarter windows, rear screen and front screen...

it would be cheaper to buy a skyline in japan with good ones then use them on your car.

whats the price on a rear window seal?

Are you talking rear 3/4 window or rear windscreen. I priced the rear windscreen seal kit (includes the rubbers, fastners and some sort of expoxy or something) awhile ago and it was crazy expensive (off the top of my head, about $650).

according to nissan today rear window seal kit is unavailable atm. front was ex japan and was lots of $$

kyle, i would love if you could find out the costs for me on the door-window seals. there are 3 bits i'm interested in. the seal that the window pushes against when the door is closed, the one that runs above that, and the one that goes on the door itself (other two attach to car body).

thanks, but i'm not too hopefull those prices were from a nissan parts dealer.

yeah i will try roy.

It's a bit dissapointing. the seals on my car are ok. no leaks anywhere, but i want them to look brand new.

Didnt you watch the Worlds Fastest Indian??? Boot polish my friend!

But $2k s'hit a brick. Is that because you have frameless windows? Im up for them soon but my goodness.

Are we talking rear "window" (i.e. 3/4 window) or "windscreen"? :thumbsup:

I was talking rear windscreen. I priced it about 12 months ago. I was told I couldn't buy the rubber seperate from the kit, but the kit was available. I know others have replaced theirs using aftermarket ones designed other cars, but I've never been able to find anyone to tell me what they had fitted or where.

My drivers side window seal (the one the window actually touches) is cracked at the top of the B-pillar so I will be interested to see if you can find a decently priced replacement.

Well, on four door Skylines a rear window would be something else :thumbsup:

Have you tried using a rubber rejuvenator? Meguirs is probably the easiest to get. They are suppose to soften and recolour the rubber. There are some other dodgier options: I've seen tyre black/shine work quite well, but obviously you probably don't want to apply that in case it gets on the paint. Others say a couple of WD-40 treatments works wonders. For a couple of bucks it might be worth a go?

yeah i've thought about that but i just want newies. :thumbsup:

i havent compromised any aspect of the car to this point and it's starting to bug me. i'm doomed to have crappy seals.

speaking of quarter windows,

does anyone have a clue as to how they come out? ive been trying and trying now and cant get them to budge.

anyone know prices on the rubber kit for them? what i heard is $550 incl the actual glass.. but i only need the seals.

anyone who has info on aftermarket substitutes for the rear window seal would be awesome too.. and windscreen come to think of it.

Try Rezz. He can get new oem parts from Nissan Japan for slightly cheaper than aus delivered oem gear.

There was a thread in the Jap section.

Beer baron - the rear window seal kit was roughly $400, the rear 1/4 window seal can only be bought with the window and is $400 per side. The door rubbers you want i inquired here in Adelaide and they wanted $120 per side.

There is someone on the forums here who mentioned someone like Windscreens obrien just use a generic seal off something like a commondore that works for the rear seal.

Speak to Rezz though....its in his sig from memory :thumbsup:

hi bl4ck32,

are you sure the $120 ones are the rigt ones? i'll happily pay that much. the ones i'm talking about are soft rubber and run around the door frame (but on the car body, not the door). they start where the striker plate is (height of the door handle) and run up the b pillar then across the roof and down to the base of the a pillar.

in fast i believe it's part number 78859 or 76812 (probably the second number). that's for RH only, LH is a different number.

i think this file shows the right bit in fast. i acutally need both of those bits. one is hard plastic (runs outside the window when closed) and the other is the more important one i need. the soft rubber one the window seals against at the top.

if you could check for me that would be awesome.

im sure it was $120 ea for the soft rubber as both my drivers and passenger side glass rubbers are shagged at the top corners. I rang the guy here in Adelaide (Unley Nissan) and he recently got them for his own 32 GTR and he knew exaclty what i wanted.

I need the hard bits too as some f*kwit tried to break into my car and ive got screwdriver marks along the hard rubbers.

linky no worky as well :wave:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
