OK so im inches away from buying a silvia....I love it in White and in Red....A bit more in red though but i love Sunroofs! The white one i looked at had a factory sunroof....the red one didnt....i called up 1 place today to see if they could fit a factory sunroof in and they said they couldnt because they didnt have the nessasary rig?

Does anyone know if i buy a factory sunroof are there places that will professionally install it or a cabable of installing it?

Iv already sourced all the nessasary parts for the sunroof for $400.....

Thoughts?

P.S. Oh and do you like silvia's in red or white better!

I think best idea is to wait until you find the one you want in the right colour and features you want such as sunroof etc.

Keep looking, there are plenty of S15's around.

White or Red? Well, it's up to you. Red cars go faster don't they? :)

I'd say cutting into the roof and installing a sunroof would be a costly process.

I'd personally buy the white one and respray it a unique red, rather than install an aftermarket sunroof on the red.

Then again, Nismoman's idea is even better.

Might sound weird but sun-roofs lessen the cars structural rigitity. Thats why Subaru only put them on Impreza WRX models and not Impreza STi :)

Sorry, thought I would share it. I like white Silvias :laugh:

sorry mate i dont understand, is the sunroof model is the roof height lower? And yes i intend to take it to a track....

Go the white one. With no kit and a nice set of wheels I think they look great. And as above a sunroof will give you less head room and once you put a helmet on you may find it a bit tight for space. It's crazy to cut a hole in a perfectly good roof.

We bought a 180sx with a manual sunroof because that actually provides more headspace as it does not have the motors and what not.

Wait until you find one with everything you want. It's alot easier.

it might only cost $400 to buy all the gear to put a sunroof in a car, but the cost of getting someone to professionally do it will cost much more than that. personally i wouldn't even think of putting a sunroof in a car that didn't already have 1, but then i'm not a big fan of sunnroofs anyway. they are more for the wank factor than anything and as people have said, they reduce headroom, which being tall, i like to have plenty off.

also sunroofs leak. it might not leak now, but eventually ALL sunroofs will leak and then you will get rust in the roof.

nothing wrong with red as such biggest issue i have with it is if it starts to fade you get yourself a pink car lol.

As has been said wait till you find one with everything you want or go for the one your most happy with otherwise

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
