Hi Jimmy - as you know I have but I went the new outer window trim route.

I'd go have a look at either Spotlight and look for something similar in a material.

It's like a white shag small material.

Remove the existing bushes (both). - Use a hand held razor blade and maybe some turps to remove the glue.

Glue the new bushes to the plastic backing and let dry

Re-Install.

Both sides :) (bout 30mins effort)

Perhaps Supercheap or Bunnings may have something similar.

It's really just a 4-5mm bushy length and around 3cm x 1.5

Cheap as cheaps way to replace.

and remove and rinse every 3 months or so to stop the dust scratches re-occurring on the glass

(fairly certain you cant buy just that piece and clip in :( )

Edit: PS new external window trim farkers aren't cheap)

Hmm - might have been around $115 each I think when I bought mine. But postage is very exy due to length.

all air postage out of Japan is daylight robbery.....SAL less so and sea cheaper still.

Paid $90 bux freight recently for an RH9 alternator. Half the size of a shoe box !

Best idea is to compile a list and save for it all. Then buy and use Sea as delivery method (6-8weeks)

My issue is I cant wait so it goes DHL. RHD & Nengun are my favourite Jap shops.

Some costs - Rear window Trim (only) is $330. Qtr windows about $220 ea.

OEM Windscreen $1700, Dash $1100ish (NAL). OEM GTR Steering wheel around $1k deliverd. C-pillars $140ea

Very True indeed Kat - It is good checking Nissan spare parts first and they don't seem to fluctuate with exchange rates if the parts are in country.

My issue with calling them previously is there not real helpful and never call back. (but I don't have bewbs :/ ) They can be a lot more expensive too and sometimes cant get what you see on RHD/Nengun.

But now having an insider the service is brilliant :thumbsup:

Must admit I picked up mine even cheaper still off someone who bought new, with horn button, and didn't unpack it. Win

I actually lost my insider so I may hit you up at some point knowing that!! :D

I do buy most on RHD admittedly.

Floormats arrived for the GTR on Thurs, they're better than the looked in the pics. Now got to get them to carlovers or somewhere with a steam cleaner for some love!

Yep, all of their stuff is NEW OEM :)

By door trim, I meant rubber strip for outside of window, confusing myself haha

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
