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.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
