Hey guys,

The rubbers around both my front and rear windscreens have perished over the 13years my car has been alive. As far as I know, they are not leaking yet.

Does anyone know where I can go to get them replaced at a reasonable price?

Cheers for any help :P

...... LOL

If you do find someone, let me know. I need to replace all mine on the Ceffy and I'm thinking the stealership is the only option for such an uncommon import.

I imagine you'd have a better chance finding one with a windshield mob for an R33 since theyre about as common as slappers in Northbridge on a Saturday night.

Dealerships should be able to source them. They are a two piece mould, one part sticks to the body then a second piece clips in after the glass is fitted.

We can fit an aftermarket rubber mould but it will never be spot on and be aware that the glass will have to come out to do the job.

This means your windscreen will almost certainly break, requiring a new one, and although a good fitter will not break toughened rear glasses on removal, they have an "all care but no responsibilty" policy.

This moulding is however purely asthetic, the urethane is what seals the glass, so they can perish all they want and not affect the seal.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
