HI All,

Looking to buy a 33 with sunroof, i am 183cm.

Will it be a pain in the ass?

Regards Stink

THis car is coming up for auction at around 14:30 AEST

Please any sunroof owners share your thoughts with me, if you can post your height and what your experience has been with the sunroof. I would hate to pass on this car if the whole sunroof thing is not an issue, but i would be more pissed to buy it only to find that i touch it all the time and its real annoying.

Cheers Stink

but having said that, men have a taller seated height than women and shorter legs. lol its true!

in any case if you are set on a 33 you can easily put a new seat in that sits lower (as one of my mates did!)

yeah thats what i am worried about, being just under 6ft if my hair is touching it that will be annoying.

Its a shame as there is a nice car up for auction i was going to bid on but i am thinking not now because of the sunroof.

Hi Liz,

How much of a problem is putting a different seat in?

putting in a different seat is easy (I assume!).. my mate just bolted it up and it seemed to sit alot lower than the stock seats.

why don't you look in the trading post, find a r33 with a sunroof that's for sale and pretend you are interested in it.. just to check the height.

Yeah could do that but.

I live in Townsville so not that many around and less for sale

And this car i am interested in comes up for auction today, so once i get the detailed auction report back i need to make a decision on whether to bid or not.

Cheers Stink

HI Slippery,

Thanks for the reply, would it have made a difference if you were 4cm shorter?

Cheers Stink

Whoa, liz, are you 184? that's tall for a girl. You're the same height as me.

I dunno about the sunroof car, but in my non sunroof one, there is plenty of headspace.

Regarding changing the seat - you can get any aftermarket nice japanese seat with rail for about 500 odd dollars. It's as simpe as unbolting 4 bolts and rebolting it. STraight bolt in. Sits about 1" lower.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
