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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
