f**k me josh!

thats jizz - when i have cash for wheels, we'l talk offset :D

Soooooooooooo very very hot. Almost makes me tempted to pull apart my rims to rebuild them for porn fitment, but alas I am a very lazy kid. In past history tells me anything, they'll never go back on my car :/

i bet thats something u'd do

It’s actually pretty common to do a flip/conversion as it’s cheaper than getting custom made lips/barrels made. Pretty common in wheel rebuild threads on a few of the wheel/offset forums I am on.

Yes I post on wheel specific forums

Been wanting to do the same thing:

Also went and spoke to a shop in Underwood that do a few race cars/drift cars (they did the body work on the Option1 Silver 350z). Without sitting down at working out each cost, they said around $1000 to weld in a pannel.

I have seen roof cuts on ebay for as little as $150. Cut at the pillars, so easy to match and cut, then re weld. People are put off, but I don't know why - People take the roof off cars for SERIOUS roll cage building, it's not different - Your just replacing it with another one.

IMHO if anything putting a sunroof in a non sunroof car makes a car weaker then welding in a non sunroof, roof.

that's a bit better. thought 2k was a bit rough.

do you know if you could fit the non sunroof roof lining once the work was done?

what place in underwood did you see? i work near there, so may pop around and have a chat

Yeap, the more you supply the cheaper it is. I just wanted a sheet welded in with no centre rib (IIRC its only there for two reasons to hold in the roof light and to stop minor roof flex eg: if you lent on the roof in the centre).

If you supplied the centre rib and hood lining and just welded in a plate, apposed to a full roof swap it'll only be around the $1k as well. You can buy the rib new from nissan. I'd also take the sunroof out myself as thats an extra few hours labour you can save. I've had mine out heaps, it's not a hard job.

The shop is in Kenway Dr. Should be building number 6. There is always imports and all kinds of shit there.

**the hood lining on my non sunroof R32's where only ever held in by the side pillar trims, no clips, no glue. There is no reason why a factory liner will not fit**

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
