Just get a new one. I got mine replaced at a windscreen place. Ring around, I found prices varied from $300-$500. I ended up getting it for $200 because they screwed up the invoice and forgot to add labour on to the price.

Aftermarket ones are ment to be better because they have the lamination inside and usually have a strip of tint on the top, plus you get all nice new seals around it.

a mate who had his windscreen replaced in his 33 once told me that they are the same as a locally sold nissan, but i'm not sure which it is though. not sure if it was a 300zx or a r31 or something like that. either way it ended up only costing him about $200.

R33 and R34 windscreens are now locally made by PGI, so much cheaper than they used to be. My one was ~$300 and the guy came out to my house to do it.

front demister?

do you mean the radio antenna like in an R32? I looked at a replacement windscreem for my old r32 gtst and it was about $300 for an aftermarket one (no inbuilt radio) or $800+ for a genuine one with the radio antenna wires.

I don't know what they were smoking but I rang Nissan for a price on a windscreen for my 32 GTST & they said there were two types available.

One was around $800 & one was a bit over $2000! No idea what it was that made it so expensive...

Then the guy who came to our shop to install windscreens quoted me $200 (no antenna) as he is good mates with the boss.

Ended up getting a dodgy roadworthy from the workshop next door to where I worked so never worrried.

Don't work there anymore. Should have got the $200 windscreen when I had the chance!

Do prefer the neat, inbuilt antenna but a mates S15 has a nice little antenna inside the car which you can hardly see.

Seems like the best option when the time comes

Nothing wrong with a bit of self advertisement mate, but you should have been quicker! The op already had it done. Plus the third person speak isnt really necessary.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
