Hello Fellas. The warmer weather has me preparing the car for a splash of renewed colour... and the Nissan boys certainly stretched their imagination with my colour being :"Blue silver effect!" Well I like the colour anyway :-)

But I have been looking at the rubber seals at the top of the windows. The rubber coated steel has had the rubber peel away (aged in the sun) and its about the only thing I cant rejuvinate. Where do I get this from... (Nissan OZ?)

Cheers

Brett

Im guessng the only way to fix it to go see nissan australia and hand over your liver but if someone else knows some other way to do it i would definitly be interested. Need to fix mine as well.

hey are you talking about to out side? and at the top of the front window? mine are pretty bad and i had a guy come in to install my rear window with a new seal for $110.00 then i showed him the front of the car and he said that i didnt need to spend 150 to get the window taken out and replaced with a new seal all i needed to do was call him and he would cut the top part out and fill it up with this black stuff they use to seal the windows and he will smooth it out for me and make it look new.

OK fellas, Ill hunt up some prices/strategies. Im looking to remove the stianless inner part of the rubber and see if there is a way to recoat it or slide it inside some other moulding.

Ill keep the forum posted

Cheers

Hi King, I think we have our wires crossed, I actually mean the winding windows. There is a stainless strip with a thin rubber cover on it. Its probably possible to just paint it, but Ill have a closer look this weekend, remove it and see what work is required. But it pisses me off as the rest of the car interior is pretty much mint (Im a fussy old barstard), and this strip samcks me in the back of the eyeball every time I get in the car.

Cheers

Brett

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
