when my car got the right quarter replaced they had to remove the rear screen. They couldnt get it out without breaking it, tried all kinds of things with no success. They put in a 2nd had screen and now the rear demisters no worky! Im taking it back for them to sort but now that i think about it im missing some of the seals in the back, what's a set of the rear ones worth?

ok, i've been able to secure some genuine door to window seals in japan. they will be cheaper than here by probably 20% or so. The dudes here want $220 + GST ($242) and that's trade price. I can get them for ~$195 delivered to sydney. From there it is pick up from me on the northside or post at your cost. If any of you guys think you want some, or if there is some interest i may post up a group buy. delivery time will be about the same as from nissan AU as they are mostly ex-japan anyway.

well it's good news for me anyway as saving $100 makes a difference to me!

I can also get the windscreen moulds etc too if someone needs them.

I'm still definately down for a driver's side (depending on when this happens, I will check my passenger side when I get home). Offer still stands regarding delivery if the timing works.

sweet. Well i've been thinking about delivery to you in japan (or you pick-up in japan) but it would be tough to organise as nissan japan will take 1week to deliver to my friend so it may be a hit and miss type thing. Pm me if you like and we can mull over it some more.

dont bother with the stock ones they are rubbish

ive already been through all this shit when i painted my car the first time and it was the biggest waste of money

get a wind screen dude to come and and use a set of universal rubbers and be done with it

it will look 100000 times neater and they wont lift and look shit like the stock ones will

a man after my own heart! haha all GTR32 restoration enthusiasts congregate here.

Currently have my R32 GTR completely stripped and am replacing/rebuilding every single part of the car! Every part is being stripped and cleaned/polished (depending on finish). I will post pics as the car as it comes back together (hopefully soon). Going for forged/balanced internals but overall a very original like 'day one' R32 GTR. It was a very tidy car to begin with but im very fussy (crazy) so here we are!

good man. yes 2GUP may be onto something. my genuine $$$ *breath $$$ front window mould kit and seat kit lifted up the other day at ~200km/h (on the main straight at Oran Park). Not impressed. luckily it just came out a little bit, and I saw it and taped it down till I could take it back to the panel beater.

Yep my drivers side window seal (the rubber one) has a bloody tear in the corner, annoys me no end!

I guess I'll ring nissan with the part no, did you say you could get them cheaper Beer? Id love a set if you can.

Cheers

Andrew

just ring and windscreen fitter and ask him to replace front and back seals, i got a guy to come and do mine he pulled them both out without breaking them, and i reckon it looks neater! shouldnt cost more $200 havnt had a problem yet

heres a pic of mine, bit blury but u get the idean on what they look like

Sorry for bumping an old thread...

Looks like universal is the way to go.. Not going to lie though, the first 3 pages were scaring me ! :whistling:

Has anyone else been through/ learnt about this recently.

Yes I have a R32 GTST and Id like to renew my door seals top and bottom also. I have removed mine and applied a layer of double sided tape to "biuld up" the layer under the seal and put the seal back in, it helped a bit and makes the door feel much better when closing and no leaks, but id like new seals.

Does anyone have an updated info on where you can get these at a reasonable price? Rang Nissan a month ago and they wanted 990 dollars for the four peices and when I said how much I was prepared to pay, he was offended!!! where does nissan get off on parts pricing? lol. He said he last sold one in 2007 and I said "erm, do you ever wonder why? does it really COST that to make? "

*shakes head*

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
