hey everyone,

have a crack in the front windscreen that has got out of hand now

i was ringing around places today getting prices for a new windscreen fitted

prices are as follows;

O'Brien

$460 or something fitted

Novus

$310 +/- fitted

now i was wondering, are there any local places or 'small' businesses that can take care of this without the high price

i once had to get a rear windscreen put in at a place that is right next to where J-Shop used to be but i have forgotten their name...

any help would be awesome guys, much appreciated

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: my insurance doesn't cover for windscreens, thanks

Hey Andrew,

I think mine was 180 from allwest tinting/windscreens on Bannister Rd (fitted)....but it may have been 280....

Obriens didn't quote me that much though.... Just give people in your area a call, i think novus was the next best price for me from memory.

I might as well ask here..

My windscreen on the bunky has been attacked by what looks like a scourer right where line of sight is, about a 1/2'x1/2' patch. Annoys the fugg out of me when driving. Will a replacement windscreen be covered under the free windscreen a year on the insurance? Or is it just for cracked / smashed / badly chipped? Shannons if that makes any difference.

Thanks,.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
