What Non-genuine Windscreen & Windows Rubbers Fit My R32? Preparing To Paint My Car.


Recommended Posts

Gday,

Im preparing to strip my R32 gtst back to a shell so that i can have it resprayed. Im going to do all the prep work, and then tow it over to a spray painters to finnish it off.

My question is; Does anyone know what non genuine rubbers are able to be substituted for the factory R32 front and rear windscreen rubbers? Ive heard that some commodore rubbers will fit and im not prepared to pay $520 each for genuine Nissan ones! Also, ill pull the rear quarter windows out as well, so ill either have to remove the rubbers undamaged, or source some new ones. Does anyone know where i can get some of these as well (non genuine or cheap Nissan?).

Thanks,

Shaun.

the windscreen people will know... just take the rubber to them.?

what colour are you goin with the car?

When I repainted my R33 I had to get a new windscreen as well

The windscreen company used a mould similar to a my VX commadore and replaced the rear aswell

Cost about $30 for each.

Do they look the same though or does it look a bit weird...like they are not the right ones.

I am in the same position and will definately do this if they come up allright.

Cheers

Best thing is to drop into a windscreen shop and see what they have

Most the strips just come on a roll and cost about $5/m

Much better than $600-700 for new ones, by the time you buy the inner and outer

Attached is a pic of my old R33

You can zoom in on the front screen to what they look like

They do look different, but not out of place.

Only thing wrong with them, after about 18-24 months of being in the sun, they were showing some signs of sun damage. But at roughly$30-40 you could replace them.

Rear quarter window outer is bonded to the glass, buy new seal - comes with free glass attached.

Can't help with front or rear though.

Thanks mate. I sent you a PM if thats ok.

Shaun.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
