Just rang nissan spares... they're $203.15 plus GST each trade price. Apparently both are in stock in Syd. Can have em delivered to the nearest Nissan dealership.

Retail is $216 plus GST. Big saving :)

hey bl4ck32, any joy with SA nissan on the seals yet? :)

thanks mate! :)

Yup, rang em this arvo, and i got the same as everyone else. I know i got the wrong guy too. Id have to go in there to speak to the guy. But this other nissan knob said $260 a set, or $230 for a bulk purchase of 5...whoopie.

Im going in there i reckon and make sure i get the right guy...always better to speak to them face to face, so i can hassle him some :)

sweet you are a legend. was $260 a set meaning just the one seal, or $260 a set (meaning one left, and one right)? Cause if it's the latter that is still pretty good.

thanks mate, there has been a delay where my car is being painted so i have a few more days up my sleave now to sort this one out.

Id put money on it being for the one side.

There are a few places in Adelaide that make rubber seals for cars, (like rare spares do for the old holdens) Im gunna try contact a few and see if we can get some made up, like the genuine nissan ones...

mmm maybe instead of making a 32 into a Beer R 324 you are making a 34 into a much more styling 342? :)

this sounds like something id do.

im picking up the window rubber kit tommorrow as theyre in from Japan. Took a week, maybe less, ill let you know what it comes with.

he funky, i missed this post. that is the same price i got in sydney, $220 inc GST (trade). but thanks mate :) :)

Hey guys, Im in the process of completely rebuilding my R32 Gtr ground up. It was tidy before (possibly one of the best) but hey im fussy! Prolly like you baron! Anyway i've been told the front and rear glass on the skylines is capsulated, they say that it is very hard to remove without breaking the glass! On top of that ive heard that a genuine front windscreen is around $2000! I prefer to go with genuine nissan stuff but thats crazy! Anyone got any input on the whole glass breaking thing?? Im a little worried. I dont mind changing seals but glass is not an option.

well i just had the front screen, rear screen and both quarter windows removed. no breakages thankfully. the place that is painting my car have a specialist glass removing dude come in to do that though. he did mention that the actual rubber seals are glued to the screen?

I have so far spent probably near on $1K just on seals and shit. I used the front mould kit that Kris talked about. It's just the 3 outer moulds and costs $180 trade, $220 retail. I even was going to do gaskets for the goor handles (even thought you can only just see it) but they wont sell seperately, only as a set with a new handle and it's $90 each side and no stock so as i was out of time i just had to draw the line somewhere.

I think to do every seal and mould would be well over $2K probably even approaching $3K just for the parts. and assuming you have access to a trade account. I am trying to source some direct from japan though, so i will see how that goes, but it will be too late for my current build :wave:

well i've now got:

door rubber seals, both sides

front windscreen mould kit

front screen seal kit

front screen locking seal kit

door window moulds/seals (finally)

rear windscreen mould kit (the $$$$$ one)

rear screen seal

rear windscreen locking seal

the only thing left is quarter windows (cant do) and door handle gaskets.

getting there....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
