Well I got the sedan installed with the goodies .. clear side indicators, intense white light bulbs and grounding kit

... pulled the car out of the driveway to test drive and suddenly saw this crack running down from the middle top of the windscreen down like 10cm and then going left and right ..

how did this happen? only movement i made on the car is jacking it up on the front so that i could connect the grounding wire to the tranny.

anyway, now i need some help to source for a V35 sedan .. i'm in Vic

Thanks

*sigh .. not looking forward to the cost ..

or you could get a replacement via Yahoo Auctions.

Being in Vic, you could use Import Monster and pick it up from their warehouse (if via sea) or have it delivered to your door (via air).

Should between $600-$850 if you can wait for the sea container and pick it up from Bayswater.

ok, I've got it all sorted out today, and I'm relieved that it did not cost as much as I thought it would. Was pointed out a small chip where the crack started.

And here's what i've found out for replacing a v35 sedan windscreen in vic so that it could be knowledge for all here ...

o'brien -

they have only 8pces of v35 sedan windscreens in australia and they're in their warehouse in sydney.

would take a couple of days to arrive in melb and it would cost $406 installed

National Windscreen -

can't find aftermarket windscreen for the sedan, would have to order a orginal nissan part

RACV -

quoted $375 if you're their member, $423 if non-member.

said that it is cheaper for coups as windscreens for them are readily available.

Auto Glass Vic -

$265 installed and can do it the next day.

Roy's windscreen -

i went ahead with them as they can get the glass in a couple of hours and have it fitted today for $280.

Call 0417 323115 and they're in Dandenong.

Had a small drama when they found the label on the winscreen saying its for a coup but the supplier assured it is for sedan. And yes it all worked out well.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
