You need to differentiate between weight distribution and centre of gravity. The heavy wing helps with weight ditribution but not with the c of g.

Anyway out of interest are N1 rear windows available at all?

Yes, N1 windows are available.

Do you want one? or are you just referring to another method of removing the rear wiper?

Because the costs of the N1 rear window by far exceeds the costs just getting a rubber grommet (although N1 rear windows do look nicer :P )

Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Nah I was just curious. Obviously a rubber grommet is cheaper than a window, not to mention the drug money Nissan want for the rubber sealing strip that goes around it. Probably why I have seen a few GTR's that have suffered from a broken rear window where the owner has full glass coverage on their insurance. Coincidentally. Allegedly. Apparently. From what I heard. On the internet. From overseas. Hmmm.

What I would like is a new windscreen with an antenna in it, rather than the local ones which I understand dont have them.

Activities from the weekend, got the front subframe stripped down ready to start paint prep

Plan is to get everything cleaned down, painted, replace hub seals (bearings feel good), some new ball joints to replace

Also have to get the rotor dust shields off, can anyone offer any advice on doing this easily/best way?

This is like watching a show of overhaulin, except instead of some random muscle car it's a GTR!!

How the hell did you learn to pull a skyline down into this many components and put it all back together? Did you work at the Nissan factory or something?

I cut my dust shields off yesterday with a 4" grinder and just left little tabs on there.

Cheers mate, appreciate the input

Haha cheers Nick, plenty more to come mate, still going with the shit stuff!

Just learning as I go hey, all about having the right people around you, right tools, a big shed and an old man who is always there to help

Yet to see how it goes putting it back together....that's the hard bit (but the best)

Yep definitely cutting wheel / grinder as Michael said

Thanks for confirming Paul

Took some photos of the bay when the light was a lot better, pretty happy with how it came up

Looked a bit worst for wear that one!

Might be worth cleaning up and putting aside in case you ever change your mind.

What do you have in mind to plug the small squirter hole ?

(an automotive plug from supercheap with silastic might do a good job)

Edit: JJR have the rear C panels for $160?

Awesome Robbie.

Looks like that nut was really FUBAR. I wonder if mine is going to be like that, if it is at least I will know what to do then :yes:

Kind of perfect timing as I received this in mail.

Will fit perfectly for the rear wiper hole (being 30mm).

For the nozzle hole I have found this of which I have just purchased from

We are all sorted :thumbsup:

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
