R33 Sunroof Question

Hi guys.

I have a 95 type M R33 and i have a sunroof.

A question, when it rains what happens to the water if it gets into the sun roof channel. It seams like the back of my sunroof does not quite sit flush with the roof of the car, and if you press down on the sunroof a gap forms in the seal and the roof.

Is there any way of adjusting the roof to sit higher or something.

Has anyone got a pdf or something showing how this can be done. Some pics would be nice.

You can place extra spacers where the sunroof bolts up to the rails.

All you need to do is take the two plastic covers off, which are accessable from the underside of the sunroof and you'll see where the spacers are... just place more until it forms a better seal... I did the same.

If however, your sunroof seal looks worn and is cracking, i'd advise you to replace it as if you get water between that and the sunroof glass bit, the frame around the glass will rust (i had to replace mine).

As for where does the water go, there are drainage holes at each far corner of the sunroof frame, they allow the water to run out through hoses.

hope this helps

cheers

HI can you bit a bit more specific in regards to the plastic cover part, not sure what you mean. I only have had the car for 3 days.

The seal looks great, no probs there, i just figured there would be an easy fix on the rail itself.

Do you have any scaned photos of the manual or anythign like that. I have a pdf on cd but i left it behind.

How do you actually remove the sunroof glasso out of the tracks, i need to clean the rails properly, the old greas sux.

Thanks

Yeah no worries.

Ok.. if you jump in the drivers seat and look from that angle you'll see a plastic screw on each side of the sunroof, undo them both and you'll find that the plastic cover will be able to be popped off.

Once you see how to do that, there is just three bolts on each side that you'll need to undo, after that, the glass bit of the sunroof just lifts out.

Sorry, I don't have any photos and i don't have the car anymore tog et any. But you should be able to see how to do it, just look for the plastic screws and you'll see the rest easily.

cheers

look directly up at the glass... and then look to the left and right of the glass and towarsd teh back of it, you'll soon see the covers and the plastic screw, one on each side.

if you still can't find it and you are near your car, pm me your number and head out there and I'll call and talk you through it.

don't worry, took me ages to work it out myself lol.

hay, ok so i had a look, and the only screws i see, are located on the sunroof plastic, on the actual glass part.

Does your sunroof go in and out and up and down, cos i am sure there must be a adjustment somwhere to do it, what i do for now, is once closed, simply bump the up swithc a bit and it's fine.

those are the screws that you need to undo to get to where you can place the spacers.... the glass will just lift out once you undo those screws, and the bolts that are hidden by them... you'll see the spacers I'm talking about once in there.. just need to find another spacer (or make do)

There is no adjustment to do other than what i have mentioned.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
