Nissan wreckers in Melb?

[Ronin 09]

Dammit, my doors are leaking from the seal between the window and body (the rubber seal at the tops of the doors).

Nissan spare parts quoted like 230 bucks per side (just the rubber seal!) which is ridiculous.

I need to find a wrecker or second hand parts… does anyone have any, or know any wreckers in Melb? Its an R32GTR

Thanks!

nispares maybe?

[Ronin 09]

Ronin 9, hasn't your car got approx 100k on it? Prob garaged all its life being a one owner. What second hand r32 rubbers are going to be much fresher? U might have to bite the bullet and go new if you want to cure the problem.

what about Rare Spares in preston? Dunno if they're still there or not, but they use to be the biggest stockest of rubbers etc..

[benjiman74]

Or Bill Thompson rubbers in Ringwood if you're not fussed about going genuine. They have plenty of different profiles available by the meter.

I think R32 rubbers must be prone to tearing in the top corner of the window at the B-pillar. One of the guys on the forum has a set, and his driver's side is torn there too

The passenger side is leaking in the middle of the top of the window - weird.

Thanks guys, benjiman74 you are probably right, will have to go for new ones ex-Japan dammit

Hi Ronin 09,

I had a similar problem with my R32 GTS-t, the driver side rubber was torn in the top corner...I bought a perfect condition second-hand one for around $60 including shipping from GTR Shop:

Try them, I found their service to be excellent, they're in New Zealand but I still got the rubber 3 days later.
