Last time I got a crack on my windscreen on my previous car, I just called up my insurance company and they gave me a free windscreen. I think i'm entitled to one per year. Might be worth seeing if your insurance company can do the same. Btw, they sent me to Windscreens O'Brien.

Thanks for the fast replay guys.

I have called up a guy in sydney that might be able to get the windscreen I'm waiting for him to call me back.

Originally i have sourced a screen from a import place but it was for a coupe.... and they are slightly different from the sedans , so if anyone has a sedan and had the windscreen changed can you tell me if the screen is hard to source?

Cheers

Just an update guys

I have call 3 places yesterday

M&M Windscreens

O'Briens

National Windscreens Group

So far all of them have told me they will need to call me back since they can only source the coupe windscreen and don't have any sedan screens in stock.

Ok guys

The guys and M&M have been able to get me a screen , but the cost is around 450 installed.

I know that a bit expensive but i can't risk driving for too long on the road with a cracked windscreen.

I have had no replay from O'Briens and National Windscreens Group so far and the guys at Novus windscreens were the worst didn't even bother getting my details just asked for a contact number and said they will call back.

I have made a apointment to have the screen replaced on thursday.

I'll updated you guys after it is all done.

Cheers

Well its either $450 or risk the troubles in the long run for a cracked windscreen.

$450 sounds ok, prices may have gone up since I got mine done in 2005 and its a R32 as yours is a R34...

Have you tried to give Nissan a call? See what they say, but Im sure to say $450 is a better price then what Nissan will quote.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
