so new years morning I find out my car has a cracked windscreen, covering about a quarter of the glass. So I've got comprehensive insurance with window coverage, but I think I have to pay like a grand in excess, which I really cant deal with. So does anyone know where to find a windscreen for a 33, how much prices are/ where I should buy from and if I should ditch using my insurance?

plzzzzzz help

Shannon's ^^^ are awesome like that. Used it once myself on my ex-Bluebird. FREEEEEEE!!!

Aussie Windscreens in Phillip were cheaper than O'briens to buy one though...

Dunno about for a Skyline but it would be worth a phonecall. ph : 6282 0066 :thumbsup:

aussie windscreens are alot cheeper but i was not very happy with the the end result of them not putting my wipers back on properly, leaving half the screws out of the plastic filler thingy and leaving masking tape on the roof in my R31.

but it was worth saving the extra 200 from what O'brians wanted

As shell pinted out if you have comprehensive with "windows coverage" then it should be free to claim windows on. Check first.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
