I think you're going to have a hard time fitting it. they bolt up around the sides, front and rear of the frame that the glass slides in. They bolt to the frames around the window/doors. im a bit doubtful you're going to have holes ready to go for this to support it as they're quite heavy you will need every support possible to keep it stable. Also you will not only need to cut a hole in the roof, but also make a frame around the hole for the glass to push up into and to give the roof skin some strength. They arnt water sealed against the roof, the water runs down past the glass, into the frame and on each corner is a rubber hose that leads down through the C pillar and A pillars and through the floor and onto the road.

tbh not worth butchering a car to put a sunroof in.

Fitting a factory sunroof is near impossible unless you replace the whole roof skin, as the sunroof frame bolts up to it, the integrity of the car is NOT hurt installing a sunroof, I'm a sunroof fitter by trade so obviously Im not going to post up saying they are dodgy, but if you don't really have a clue what's involved in fitting a sunroof and what else is required, your over opinionated and under informed. If you are keen on a sunroof look towards the aftermarket and find a reputable company which uses a quality brand and backs it with a warranty.

I belive an after market sunroof is the way. I Just cut out a brand new one from a mazda eunos i just sraped and i will be attempting to fit it into an r33 skyline, the only problem i found is the sunroof has a greater arch than the car roof only by 5-10mm but i am not convinced it can be put in this car. It looks like a hollandia 300 but has inalfa wiring. any experts know if i should worry about this gap or can the roof be made to fit.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
