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.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
