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!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
