Hey,

Thinkin about gettin a sunroof installed in my r33.

I particularly like the ones that open under the roof like the factory nissan sunroof. had a bit of a search on the net and found this.

what do you guys think? worth getting an aftermarket sunroof? are they generally better/worse than factory? It'd be brand new as opposed to ~10 years old from factory so I guess thats a plus for aftermarket.

I heard they go for around $2k? I'm still a long way off from that so it'd take quite a bit of saving.

Thanks

Personally I'd just buy one with a sunroof already in it, but that's just me, I don't like the idea of cutting up the car like that, hence why I waited till I found what I wanted in a car including the sunroof :cheers:

so true.

because the r34 was my 1st car there were so many things i should have noticed but didnt. the sunroof being one of them.

im defiently getting a sunroof in the next car. or i just might get one installed into this one

I regret not buying car with sunroof :D

reading some sites which install sunroof's:

http://www.webasto.com.au/am/en/am_auto_sunroofs_3360.html

Are sunroofs installed after purchase the same quality as factory installed sunroofs?

Yes, if not better . Certified installers are meticulous about quality and finish. See your local Webasto certified sunroof professional.

Are sunroofs safe?

Yes, the surface area of the sunroof to the roof skin has more coverage than normal roof braces.

I'm yet to hear of a decent aftermarket sunroof install...

they all leak as far as I've heard... but please prove me wrong, it will come down to the installer and the hardware, curviture of the roof and size of the actual sunroof...

Most cars with sun roofs as options come from the factory without one, then when you order it the manufacturer sends it away and gets it installed. Someone does it for them, but I cant remember who it is. The best in the Country. The job is as good as OEM, because it is pretty much!!

    • Hi SAU family, having issues with my R34GTT which is slightly modified and tuned to e85. so scenario is, I’m driving the car to work (30km oneway) and then coming back in the arvo. Car starts and runs fine in the morning and on the way back home (in the arvo). I stop the car when i gets home and after 10-15 mins, it wont start. Battery is fine, fuel pump seems to be working. All i hear is engine clicks but wont start.  Last time, i disconnected the battery terminals and re connected them. Check fuses. Didnt start at that time but started after an hour (so I say when its cool down). Mechanic cant find the issue as its running now and nothing coming up in the diagnose. any advice,opinion or anyone gone through similar issue.   thanks 🙏🏻
    • 9" +35 will rub on the suspension. R33 GTR wheels are +30.
    • I know a guy with 18x9 +22 on the front of a 32 gtst, needed quite a lot of guard work, tyre stretch (215) and camber. Not sure what your current set up is, +35 won't be as much, but still a fair bit of guard work and camber.   
    • Well as expected the ECU wasn't getting proper manifold pressure reading.  Once I switched to a 3rd vacuum line directly off the back of the manifold the car runs amazing.  Still slightly lean on full throttle but only like 15 AFR, probably fixable with some tuning.
