Hey all,

In the process of my respray and now I am chasing a front screen. Does anyone know of any after market front screens that have the Radio Ariel built in??? (Here in WA)

1200 big ones from Nissan, just wondering if anyone knows where to get one

Cheers

Mike

I've had mine replaced and was told unless genuine Nissan you cant get one with ariel.

Having said that I haven't really noticed any reduction in reception without one!

Are you going for genuine seals or generic ones?

Whole car is being fitted with new genuine seals all round.

Car will look like new once done. Was trying to keep it 95 % stock looking, keeping the standard screen was the plan....

Oh and Tom, no rust anywhere, car has been stripped to bare metal all round... fully prepped and ready for painting in the next two weeks, all in all near on three months in prep to get it to this stage.

Had mine done through obriens that was about 12 months ago though,from memory(bit hazy) think the full front and rear seal kit was around $1200...

edit found the quote included 2nd hand quarter window(broken by the glassy on removal!)

front seal kit including fastener and cover cowl $510 retail $420 trade

full rear seal kit was $540 retail $480 trade

these prices include all the trims etc,seems a waste to go genuine and not replace the lot if the old bits are shabby...imo..

depending on who you are insured with you should have a free windscreen a year... just make a cliam and make sure they arrange for a genuine one... why pay for it if the insurance will give you a freebie without messing your no claim bonus!?!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
