Hey guys,

Bought a stock sunroof of a wrecking 34 hoping to install it on my 34. Wondering if anyone has put a sunroof in their car before, if it worked, what was the process and costs involved etc...

I'm also curious if all cars came off the line prepared to have a sunroof installed, or if each chassis had their own process through production depending on what extras they were going to have installed.

All advice will be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers,
- Josh

I wouldn't suggest DIYing... Because your car was made without a sunroof, cutting a hole in your roof yourself will compromise the integrity of the shell.


Best to take it to a sunroof installer to do, but some of them might not allow BYO sunroofs lol. A brand new sunroof at those places can cost anywhere from $2000 to $4000.

If you want a sunroof... Either buy a R34 with a factory sunroof or pay $2000 or so to get a Hollandia installed properly and with warranty :P

But sunroofs just makes the car more heavy, roof lower and the chassis less rigid


EDIT: Also, if not installed properly, roof can leak and rust can occur :)

I'm wondering... There is some form of frame on 34's with a factory sunroof. Did they roll them all out with this bracket in case they were going to get the sunroof, or only optioned models got the bracket? Because the bracket extends all the way down into the B pillar. Not keen on taking my roof lining off and getting disappointed haha, might google it before I do.

but i already have a 34. i don't think i could go through the headaches of selecting and finding and buying another car...not to mention i already know the condition of the one i have now, and i just couldn't handle the uncertainties of another one hahahahahhahaha

fark that 2000$ i could spend on other things. sunroof would be lovely but definitely unnecessary!

Well yeah, if you wanted a sunroof, you shoulda bought one with one, but if you didn't and you want one.... It's really not worth it... It's pretty much the same having both windows open hahahaha

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
