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,

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 :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
