Hey fellas,

With summer coming up in the next few months - I want to be prepared and therefore will spend some money on my car and will get a custom runroof put in - the question is, is this possible, if so would it look flush factory-like, where and how much would it cost?

Moreover, has anyone ever installed an after-market sunroof on - your experiences and does it work properly - any pics of how a Skyline with a sunroof would look like? Are all sunroofs on Skylines aftermarket mods or are some factory options?

I found these guys, any good?

Skylines did come with factory option sunroofs... not sure on the aftermarket side of things, have never really heard of any good success stories, usually leaks are present, etc. Hopefully someone on here has done it and can point you in the right direction. I have to say though, I'm glad my 33 has a sunroof, it gets so much use!

think they cost upward of a 1000 to get a decent job. you would want the sunroof to retract into the actual roof which, is a decent amount of customisation. i looked into it a while ago, thinking a few hundred bucks would be sweet, but no.

never heard any glamourous stories of aftermarket sunroofs in any car to be honest.

hmm, i wouldnt go cutting a hole in the roof or ur car mate.

ur handling and performance will suffer.

oh really - why is this mate? how does it effect performance and handling??

That's great mate... can you ask your friend to provide me with some contact details - address / phone / contact person etc?

Many thanks,

Dude, i have a custom sunroof fitted to my r33 gts-t, absolutely no leaks, looks great, has 2 options to just lift open or fully slid open at the touch of a button. I'll get the details of the maker etc etc and let u know.

There is a sunroof place on princes highway/ dandenong road just out of dandenong northbound...

Have you considered buying a stock one from a wreckers and getting someone to install it?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
