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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
