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!?!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
