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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
