ring o'briens, took them one day to come round to my workplace and fit and they didn't even charge me (insurance).

Thanks, just rang them $448 fitted. Good price, i was actually expecting it to be abit more than that.

so to add some sort of relevance to this thread here is some pricing current as of 27/6/11

Novus:$250

O’Brien: $498

Vic Auto Glass: $560

National Windscreens: $695

All installed onsite, except o'brien which was an extra fee for the call out. i am amazed at the price discrepencies - which just goes to show that it pays to ring around. hopefully this info will be helpful for people in the future.

Thanks smokey. I need a new windscreen myself and Shannons won't do it for free until it cracks. I've only got 3 annoying little chips. And can a moderator please remove the pissing contest from this thread so in the future people can get answers without all that to read through. Thanks

No worries.

i do need to make an ammendment though.

the Novus guy called me back and was very apologetic that he misquoted me. It will now be $320 supplied and fitted - he is coming my work to do the installation. Still markedly cheaper than anyone else i called.

however, what is worth noting is that as part of his apology he did mention that the cost price of the windscreen from a supplier is $240 dollars, so keep that in mind when you are getting quotes. anything over that amount is labour and profit margin. given that it takes an hour for installation, you can make your own calculations as to what a fair price is.

If cost is 240. I would consider anything up to $400 reasonable. That's $80 an hour for 2 blokes. Considering we charge $55 per side light that I put on at work. A standard 18 light tub take me about 4 hours so that's $247.50 an hour for me to put lights on. Now that's a profit margin. Lmao. I never actually worked it out.

I was worried about the seal and talked to him on the phone about it. Reckons he can get it off and on ok...... But if it doesn't seal or looks rubbish I have a lifetime warranty on the install so I'm sure he will be happy to fix it.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
