hey guys, i have only had my 32 for about a month now but when i got it, i noticed that the top two corner rubber seals of each door were kinda cracked and i believe that they are whats causing a whistling noise when driving (really annoying, trust me). i went to clark rubber and asked if they had anything, they said they only had the seals the suit the 32 gtr model, im just wondering if anyone knows will the gtr seals fit the gts-t? cheers for any help

CLARK RUBBER???? They have them???? Fark! How much? Yes the same ones will fit the GTS-t. At least I'm 99.99999% sure they will. Only difference on a GTR body is the quarter panels. Roof and doors are the same. If the quality and price of the Clark ones is good this is a winner. All the R32's shag the seals at the upper rear corner and Nissan ones are over $500/pair. Please post more info. I can feel a group buy coming on. :)

Cool. Not sure about the whistling though. Usually the top rear corner will chew through the seal over the years but mine doesn't whistle or leak yet. Mind you that's just mine. Btw, the bloke at Clark rubber might have meant they only have seals for coupes. Obviously the sedan ones are different. Will look forward to reading your report. :)

uhhhh some bad news..... turns out the guy i was speaking to last time just told me that he could get the seals without checking. i went down today and after 15 mins of searching on the computer, another guy said he wasnt able to get them :) . so uhh sorry for misleading you guys, i feel pretty bad about it, plus now i have no idea where to get the seals from. all he could suggest was a place in nsw that only do nissan parts but they are still expensive as, either that or go to nissan with a shotgun and hope for the best. so sorry again guys

cheers glenn

Well I tried this bunch that do seals for (scuse the naughty words) Fords and Holdens and such.They have theirs made in Melbourne but the place doesn't make 32 seals.I think he said they do 31's though.

So far I'm stuck with Nissan.Hey just a thought:given the number of 32's with rooted seals around now it might be possible to get a good price for a load of them custom made.

now theres an idea! all we have to do is find someone who will make them :thumbsup:

rarespares or something may well be able to make them.. they are well known for making seals for 'classic' old cars. If they thought the demand was there, they may well do. But it depends on the numbers.

Lets face it, probably 2/3 of R32 have the stuffed rear window seal by now, and the door ones stuffed or nearly there. There'd be a heap of buyers if the price wasn't stratospheric.

whats the word about clark rubber and their door seals? I'll probably drop by tomorrow to clarky and have a look.

I get wind noises coming from both doors at speeds over 60km~, its annoying and loud :cheers:

Clark rubber don't have them. Check earlier posts. The bloke there said they had them without making sure first. He was wrong unfortunately.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      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.
