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!!

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
