Hey guys, as stated, need to get some insight into getting a sunroof on my R34, not planned for anytime soon, probably when that yummy tax return comes in, and spend it inside of Australia then feeding the international market ( dont mind me i rant about economics all day )

Anyways,

Havent got a quote yet. But what do you reckon the price margin should be, and is it a worth while investment for those sunny days in summer, or seethrough rainy days like today -.-

cheers souljahZ !!

its the same as any other car buddy, but alot of ppl dont take kindly to it because it "weakens the structure"

but seeing as its a NA (nothing intended) i dont see why u cant have a awsome comfortable cruiser with a sun roof =D

but your looking anywhere from 2k for a basic job to about 8k for the ultimate package

Wow serious?

Nice.. well im thinking of getting one done.

But right now its just asking around and scoping out all this info.

Well if they say it weakens the structure.. then i might give it a pass because i intend to turbo the car when i get my full licence.

So hmm..

Anyone on here who has a sunroof ?

I've got the factory electric sunroof on my 34...love it. With aftermarket ones unless you are planning on getting the electric ones, don't bother...the manual ones just look daggy. Personally if I were after one, might be a good idea to search wreckers for the factory one or yahoo auctions.

Tall? forget about it..

Might as well find a smashed R34 and just take its original parts as it will be alot easier, all the buttons and roof trims are different.

I wouldnt mind a sun roof would allow me to get a tan on both arms lol

My R34 came with a factory fitted sunroof, If you're anything taller than say 5"9 your head will probably scrape the roofline

I wouldn't get an aftermarket one,

I work for a dealership and one of the aftermarket girls I talk to say every now and then a customer will come back with problems with sunroofs, and they supply a few different makers so it's not like it's just the one brand.

As far as the factory fitted sunroof, I've driven non sunroof r34 GT-t's and there's no noticeable difference in structural rigidity while driving or doing power slides

Got a factory sunroof on my 34...

Its a nice touch and i cant see how anyone wouldnt like it!

But like everyone else has said if your tall (ie 5' 11" +) then dont bother unless you like having your head tilted to the side when you drive.

also lets not forget having a sunroof adds 10kw :D

I got one on my R34, the factory fitted sunroof is fantastic. it can be both sunroof and moonroof. There are two switch next to reading light on the car's roof. One is used for lift the back mirror seems like moonroof. Another switch is used to slide mirror to the back. Try to find second hand one is the best optin for me.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
