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

Dam it, ok so i get in the seat, and look towards the front or the side or back.

Are you meaning the cover that has the swithes on it?

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
