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 :)

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      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
