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!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
