Hey there all.

Pulled the sun roof out to find shot loads of rust, decided that the only way to stop more movement, to remove the glass and descale sand antirust and thickly primer and coat in gloss, but only troubles removing the glass I shattered it.

Now ive cleaned up the metal insert and chosen the idea to use Perspex,

Does anyone know the thickness of the glass, or a better idea?

Nissan qouted me 1550$

Contacted 7 import wreckers and they don't work with full car shells let along sun roofs.

And a different brand roof replace is way too exy.

Any wrecked 32s with sun roofs??

Thanks

:)

Any glazier can tell you what thickness the glass is just by feel; or of course, Vernier Calipers will give you the exact measurement.

Using the same thickness perspex (eg smoke colour could be cool), would probably need to be coated with something so that it doesn't scratch as a consequence of fine particles - but it would certainly be lighter than glass.

hi!

Are you perhaps intrested in selling your shattered sunroof?

The rubber trimming on mine is broken, and this is not sold seperatly by nissan, so therefor I´m looking for a used one,so if your rubber trimming and the frame that holds it is in good shape and you want to sell it, then I´m intrested in buying it from you :P

I'd PM him Philip because the OP hasn't returned... except possibly to visit...

No ifs & buts that way.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
