Hey guys,

So yes I woke up this morning to the lovely news that my windscreen was bricked last night. There's tiny fragments of glass all over the front passenger seat but not much else...and the windscreen itself looks like a spider's web. The brick itself split in two, which shows the kind of force the screen can handle...

freaking morons!! :)

anyway, does anyone know if the M35 windscreen is the same as a V35 skyline screen?

That's bullshit Steve. F*cking arseholes.

To answer your question, yes the M35 windscreen is the same as a V35's.

Unbelievable. I didn't think Adelade was like that. Sydney I would understand.

How common are the v35 screens to find?

I'm guessing more common than M35 ones...

So far I've been quoted $717 from one place and $395 from another (plus the mould which they said more than likely needed replacing).

Unfortunately my insurance doesn't offer a free one. :)

Pretty sure the replacement windscreens from O'briens don't come with the tinted area up the top either.....as mine does not have it

You are correct. they are the more expensive of the 2 quotes, with instant windscreens being the cheaper one. interestingly obrien mentioned it wont need the mould replaced whereas instant said it may need it.

The reason?

I say fear!

Nothing worse than being beaten by a Volvo Wagon :D

Goes back to the R32's.....the bogans cannot handle that Nissans are a far superior car to the Falcodore's.......sorry Commalcon's....lol

Unfortunately my insurance doesn't offer a free one. :D

That sucks hard....I am with shannons and have got 4 windows from them on 3 different cars over the last 5 years. most recently the rear screen of the ute after i threw a brick thru it (no I was no practising for a spree, just an accident :blush:)

Well at least I have some positive news now. It should be fixed this wednesday or thursday. $295. That doesn't sound too bad :)

I've also been told it does have the tint strip across the top so we'll wait and see...

really sucks not having a car but I'm living with my in-laws while my house gets built (only 3 weeks to go!) so at least I'm able to borrow a car.

Another thing I'm thankful for (looking on the bright side), the windscreen is probably the CHEAPEST part on the entire car for the brick to hit.

The brick wasn't just thrown at the car, it was tossed out the window of a car that was driving past (probably at 60+km/h). The impact was enough to shatter the entire windscreen (although its still mostly in place), including 2 dents where the brick hit (one has a tiny hole all the way through). The brick split in two and the 2 halves of the brick landed about 10 metres away from the car and also about 10 metres away from each other...down near the house.

I know its bad luck to get hit in the first place but in a sense we're lucky it wasn't any worse than it is.

It was a random attack (unless someone really hates imports)...so hopefully it wont happen again. I wont be parking on the street again to find out.

Just thought I'd follow up for anyone who finds themselves needing a new windscreen for their M35. My earlier prices were a tad optimistic (misinformation given over phone - the sales person got the wrong car among other things - was quickly corrected when we called the local branch to give the go-ahead).

Instant Windscreens:

$395 without the blue tint strip at the top of the windscreen or $450 with the tint strip. I wanted mine to look factory so I went with the tint strip. Parts were ordered Tuesday from interstate, and the guy came out and fitted it on Wednesday afternoon.

Very happy with everything except that it happened in the first place...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
