HI,

What bad luck. I was driving to hervey bay yesterday and I was travelling on a single lane, 2 way road. Then I saw a golf ball size rock flew towards me from the oncoming car. Hit my windscreen, and cracked it in my lower field of vision. The crack was about the size of 10 cent coin, but there are 4 hair line which stretches to a 50 cent coin size. I don't think it's recommended for repair, and I'm wondering is it easy to get a replacement windscreen? Will it cost much?

For some reason sedan screens are available in Australia but coupe ones may prove a bit harder to source. Thats why I took out the windscreen option on my car insurance. Check your policy but if not covered be aware of the difference in size of sedan and coupe screens. At least one forum member has been caught out by repairers who ordered the wrong part and had already popped the old sceen out only to find the replacement didnt fit!

Lucky for me, my insurance do cover the windscreen. But the policy only cover a max of $700 for the windscreen. I really hope this is enough.

I'd be shopping around then and get a few quotes. If all else fails you can get some good 2nd hand glass from crash damaged cars at wreckers. I do remember last year one in sydney with lots of ok bits. Cant remember if front screen ok or not. I found it with a google search.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Had the same problem. Funny thing $700 should be enough.

I got mine fixed the next day at Morayfield Discount Autoglass: 07 5428 3377.

Unit 3, 125 Morayfield Road, Caboolture South, QLD, 4510.

Cost me $661 inc GST.

Hope that helps. PS, this was for a 2003 V35 Coupe.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
