My brother has an 89 Skyline GTS-T which I imported from Japan. LOVE that car, but I cant afford one yet since Im a starving student :) lol..

His windshielf was smashed in with a bat. :) Thankfully nothing else was done to the car. As it turns out my brother decided not to fix the lock on his garage door - most likely because he is lazy.

:dry:

He needs a new windshield. The problem is that the Skylines were never sold in North America.

Does anyone know of a Nissan or Infiniti vehicle which used the same windshield as an 89 R32 GTS-T ???

I am trying to find the cheapest was to get a new windshielf.

Any comments or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated :O

Thanks in Advance

hmm, the 32 has the atenna in the windshield...so they expensive to replace.

but if ur like me and u dont listen to the radio, u could just go to a windshield place and get a new one put in, instead of a genuine nissan skyline one.

put a std one it, get a $20 behind-dash antenna, be done with it.

Hmm did not know about the Antena. Ya I will deffinately want the one without it - to save cash, and I will install a cheap internal antenna for sure. I did this on my Z to shave the stock Power antena :thumbsup:

But I live in Canada. The Skyline does not exist here. I know that worst case I can call Japan / Austrailia / UK and have a windshield shipped over, but I am hoping to save a few bucks (shipping).

I had heard that some Infiniti models were designed based on the Skyline's (of thier respective years). I wondered if this is true, and if the windshielf might be the same. There may have been a model which used the same windshield that was available in North America and making it quicker, easier and cheaper for me to get a new one :laugh:

Here's for hoping.

Thanks for the info so far guys

Dont bother looking for one with an antenna. The R32 has two antenna's anyway one in the front and one in the back and the rear one is plenty for every radio station i ever bothered to listen to.

A windshield is too large to ship via mail from Japan EMS/Sea shipping is out. Your going to have to find someone shipping containers to Canada.

I thought the R32 market had opened up in Canada and that a few GTR's etc made their way over there. Surely there are some businesses local to you that can offer containers from Japan?

you are correct sir. if Matty-D checks around www.gtrcanada.com i'm sure he can find what he's in search of.

sure has opened up. Any car of atleast 15 years old (as of the manufacturing date - month and year) is easily imported into Canada.

Cars newer then that can be imported from the USA pretty easily (basically make sure any recalls are taken care of and have proof :) ) I imported a BEAUTIFUL 94 Cadillac Eldorado Touring coupe from the USA a few years back

I live in the midle of no where (atleast for a few more months) lol..

thanks for the URL

Thanks again everyone for the advise :D

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
