which glass?

anyway -

front/rear screen : cant do anything without pulling the windows

rear 1/4 windows : cant do anything without pulling the windows

outside of door window seal: one screw at the back of the door, easier to remove with the mirrors off from memory

inside window rubbers : remove the garnish between door jam and rear 1/4, then just pop the little plugs out and remove

inside door: pop the plugs at each end then stretch the rubber over the pointy studs that are stuck into the door

So if you wanted to take your car into a windscreen mob, is it an easy job to replace the rear window rubber seals with new ones? My front one is new and looks great but it makes the rear one look like crap.

easy yes (i used BA falcon generic rubber) - but obriens etc dont cover your screen - so if they break it, you gotta pay for a new one

Well that sucks. I'm guessing it's the same deal with the side ones? My car had the weather shields on it when I bought it and when I took them off it made a lot of damage on the rubber, pisses me off every time I look at it (for 5 years now lol).

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
