Hi,

Just wondering what people have done with their R32 gtst rear quarter windows when having their car re-sprayed. I just priced some from Nissan, and because the window and rubber come as a single unit, theyre about $1000 + GST for both sides.

Has anyone removed the windows without damaging the rubbers and replaced them after having their car sprayed?

yes

yeah I made them remove and replace mine, but my advice is if your seals are fine then just leave them in and get them to back mask it properly. mine went in an out 'ok' but I think it's far better to just leave them in if they aren't old and crusty.

Your rubbers cant be in any worse condition than mine were and we didnt damage mine at all when they were removed and replaced.

I got some local glass company to do it for me...i dont trust myself with glass :)

mate i got a r32 GT-R and re sprayed it recently i tell u what man all comes down to who is doing your car 110% if someone with years of experience is doing it and is good at what he does then you can leave the quarters on like i did and they will easily be able to put tape on the seals perfect and spray it and it will come out mint and on the line like mine did no need to spend the extra money to get someone in to take them out then put them in waste of money waste of time.

I've just finished painting an R32 and we left the rear quarters in at the owners request. It looks good, and since we kept the same colour anyway it's difficult to see it's only been taped.

However, I'm now doing mine and for the sake of a $40 removal fee I figured I may as well get them professionally removed, especially since I'm changing the colour. The rubbers remained in good condition after removal. Not sure how much it is to reinstall them.

If you do get them removed and they haven't done an R32 before, watch out for a clip at each side located at the back of the window down the bottom corner, it can be easy to break.

Hey SAm,

I would like to know where you got them removed for 40 bucks and is it in melbourne?

I will be painting my 32 some time in the future and really would want them out as the last time it got done it was masked.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
