Any one have an idea how to adjust the window runners?

Before the respray my window lined up nicely and the rubber was fine, after it tends to dig in to the top back corner of the rubber, that + the age of the rubber obviously it ripped almost instantly.

I've had a little look but there doesn't 'appear' to be any available adjustments. ;)

The way it is now if I throw a new rubber in its only going to rip it again.

door trim off, feck around with (by memory) 4 adjusters down the bottom of the door....

will have a look at the service manual

just rang nissan, they confirmed $220.

What's availability like (as I am sick of looking at the tear in mine)? Be interesting to see if we can get them for less from Adeliade.

BTW, who is your "glass guy" that has/will replace your front/rear windscreen rubbers?

f**k me.. I've spent around 6 hours trying to get my passenger window aligned properly.. I knew there must be a specific trick to it!

<kisses>

p.s. on the front/back windscreens.. O'briens is a rippoff. . I was quoted $180 labour just to replace one measly seal! And that was before they even found out which seal it actually was...

Each I assume? Was that to completely remove and reseat them though? Someone else mentioned to me it cost them around the $200 mark, so it might not be completely off base.

Edit: Also, from farking around with the rear windscreen, I can say its not as easy as it looks to remove. There is an outer covering rubber, corner pieces, an inner hook plastic (that the outer rubber hooks in to), then the actual sealant the window sits on. Its stupidly complex.

they are available in aus right now. the glass dude is a guy that my panel beater uses. dont know the guys name but he comes to the shop and is apparently the guru on removing screens and doing seals etc.

I would pay $200 all up i guess if that included the seal, but not $200 just in labour.. It couldn't take more than an hour's work by a professional.

It's not too hard to remove the outer seal, just shove the car in the sun for an hour and its nice and soft. Then lever off the top metal joiner, and lever each half off by pulling. It comes apart in two pieces.

My car doesn't actually have any rear outer seal at the moment. It's still pretty water-tight, even without a seal. To be honest I think it's more of a cosmetic thing, as my window doesn't look like it will fall out anytime soon going 100+ km/hr

apparently the rear screen is very hard to do without farking the seal... ylwgtr2 told me seeing that he pulled out mine...

*shrugs*

Yup. The outer rubber on mine was hard as rock (parking in the sun didn't soften it one iota) so it breaks as you pull it out. Moreover the hook it connects too is easy to rip.

btw i should ad those photos i took were in the dark, half sloshed and with my mobile phone so not too bad overall!

AND

damn i cant wait to get my car back with nice new seals and everything on the car pretty much new.

bl4ck32, did you try adelaide nissan with those part numbers ronin09 posted up? would be great to check with those numbers. if they are $120 each i will grab a pair no question.

I got factory front windscreen rubbers for $150 from Nissan for the whole set including all bits and pieces. Rear set was $400 each so i didnt bother buying that. Might look into this commodore rubbers business.

ooooh ... cat might be out of the bag after this post ...

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
