It is horrible. Especially if your other windows are grey. No photos on hand but a good example is jap import vans around the mid 90's era. Do a quick google search on things like delicas, and the toyota estima van. Some have that silver look and others are bronze. In my opinion it's awful.

We've tinted these before when nothing else was available to try to match the rest of the car and it can certainly help, but it will still be far from perfect.

Yeah I wasn't even aware r32s ever came out with this glass. Weird it sounds like it should have been a mistake of the 80s not 90s!

Drivers windows are at 33% black tint so I'll match that and hopefully it's dark enough to hide it.

Have you tried at an import wreckers or just someone who's wrecking a gtr? Just get a second hand one thats grey. Not like its going to change much over time and then just get it tinted the same as the rest of the windows. Just make sure its not scratched >_<

But yeah bronze is horrible lol

Damn!

They are really hard to get from wreckers because everybody breaks them getting them out.

I do still have my grey ones as backups but the seals are pretty scabby these days. Ill see how they are when they get here, maybe ill just need to get high all the time...

I don't think they get broken on removal so much. They're a bit of a bitch to remove but generally quarter glasses are broken when someone locks their keys in the car and figures, "It's the smallest window, it should be the cheapest to replace."

Then they discover it's the only glass that's encapsulated, making it by far the most expensive.

The moral of this story is to KEEP A SPARE KEY IN YOUR WALLET PEOPLE!

Yeah I think if you know what you are doing they come out ok.

I had my drivers side quarter smashed twice in 6 months - once by drunken idiots (heard them throw the bottle and run from inside - alarm went off), again when someone was trying to break in.

Both times it was a biatch to get hold replacements, could not get them from wreckers - ended up getting them both through classifieds here.

Moral of the story - drive a shitbox that nobody looks twice at, keep the skyline in a garage!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
