Mine came with a sunroof, but factory. Im a bit sceptical about an aftermarket sunroof. Don't know if they are any good these days but apparently they start the leak.

You are best to shop around and ask a few professionals. You might be looking at about $2500.

they start at $2500 and go up from there. best to find a shop that specialises in them.

i rand a few places in sydney like.. sunroof centre.. all specialises in sunroof.. quoted 1500- 1800.. which is not too bad but just a bit scared that it might be a problem in the future..

a sunroof isn't like a targa top or a convertible.. the centre of the roof isn't a structural point of the car, its the A/B/C pillars

so essentially it will not affect the chassis rigidity at all. but it probably requires an engineering certificate as you're cutting a panel

as far as reliability goes, well you should be right from teh stories i have read about sunroofs.. the stock one is tiny anyway so anything aftermarket it going to be better than thestock thing in my opinion

cheers,

Warren

mate of mine did a sunroof on his R33 SII a while back. $1400

only problem he ever had was the closing switch got stuck once and drained his battery overnight.

thats prettymuch it. no leaks etc..

the place in perth deal with holdens/ford new ones and this is the kit they install in those cars, apparently.. well this is when VX's were everywhere or was it VT's

So i do not think its a big deal if they are offering a warranty.

It's small. Trust me.

I had a sunroof on my r33 and nothing near as big as a other decent size factory sunroof on other cars. Probably not worth passing on the chance to buy other good cars at auction just for the sake of a nissan factory sunroof.

On my old car it didn't (or hadn't) leak yet but I've been told of others who had sunroof in their car and they are prone to leaking.

Might be a good consideration to get a Nissan without sunroof - save you the long term hassle. But again V35 is a newer model so you may get away a number of years before it may start leaking - which is time for you to sell.

I'd rather something like this personally...

vinyl overlay, just peel it off if you don't want it anymore, his sunroof is real btw

I would never get an aftermarket sunroof personally, my old r34 had a factory sunroof and it was top quality, never leaked.

Used to work in the car industry and the aftermarket sunroofs that were sold by the aftermarket girls (the one you're introduced to after you buy a car and try to upsell paint protection etc.) were shoddy as hell and looked out of place on the inside of the car. Cheapened it in my opinion

might be different for companies that specialise only in sunroofs but even then how I'm skeptical

don't let me deter you though, just my 2c on the subject :)

      Yep, I really miss mine. I dont, however, miss it's understeer. Hard to find a genuine 'Sport' model these days. That sounds awesome! Good fun and great result!  I'd love to do a 1/4 in mine now that its reasonably healthy with the tune. I last did a run in my white GTR, I think it was a 12.3 and I can't remember the mph and I think the little E90 might be quicker.

      FWIW, I made 372kW on a Mainline dyno, with a stock motor (bar head studs & usual bolt ons) on E85 (pretty timid timing in the mid range) and it blew up after a year of track use. Probably got like 5~6 Wakefield track days and 1x skid pan somewhere in between.

      Plus, if you want to shoot for over 300rwkW, the Z32 won't really cut it and retaining the PowerFC is getting to be a poor choice. You're going to be much happier with management that can actually see what's going on and have a hope of stopping it from going bad when something breaks (think oil pump). So, the $$ situation is probably different to what you think it is.

      350-400kw will not keep that basically stock motor basically stock very long, especially for track only use. It will decide to need a rebuild pretty quickly. I'd go smaller, and not cheap out with a Pulsar item based on older tech. Get a G25 550/660. Just better in every way. Don't think about changing a turbo until AFTER you change your injectors (S15 injectors x6? What CC are those?) and coils/fuel pump. They won't keep up with any aftermarket turbo.
