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.

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....

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
