Righto so I've recently purchased new windscreen seal kits for the front and rear of my R32 GTR..

As most of you know buying this stuff from Nissan costs as much as a engine rebuild... (nearly :/)

What I want to know is who here has had them done by a workshop and were you happy with the quality of work that was done?

Ive used windscreens O'Brian before and I was slightly put off by a couple of things they did, but we wont talk about that here.

I don't want to be doing this job twice so any recommendations are appreciated

cheers

Ok Joe ......... It's your lucky day.

I used Manie's Mobile Windscreens 2 weeks ago and about 18 months ago and in both cases he was excellent.

I did the same thing, sourced the moulds and fasteners direct from Nissan and got Manual to fit them.

You should get change out of $400.00 for the lot but remember there is a bit of mucking around at the rear due to the wiper.

He comes to you as he is mobile.

He did/does work for Unique Auto Sports and Hills Motorsports to name a few Skyline oriented workshops.

He knows these cars very well and has been doing this work for 20+ years.

His mobile number is (0408) 255 548.

Cheers,

Bob.

Bob you are a legend!

I've actually had to cut the nut off the rear wiper as it was that rusted that I fear if I used a breaker bar I would break the glass :/

From memory that's cheaper then windscreens obrian

I'll give him a call when I get the parts in :)

Cool....... Have you ordered the parts?

If not I can give you the exact part numbers and pricing.

I bought the fasteners locally because the shipping was either too dear or too big but I got all the moulds from Amayama.

That’s amayama.com - good price and service.

I use jp-carparts.com to find the parts - Exploded views etc and then copy/paste into amayama.

Let me know if you need any help with the exact parts.

If you do you will need to tell me the exact date of your car build as they had some minor changes throughout the series.

Cheers,

Bob.

Thanks once again Bob, I've ordered the parts already through rhd Japan, I wanted to buy the outer weather sheild for both doors but they were ridiculously expensive so I've passed for the time being.

I will look at the site u have recommended.

Do you know if he does window tinting or glass chip repairs?

No........ Windscreens only.

I can't help with chip repairs but Tint on the Move is my tint guy.

Tints and removes tint which is what use him for.

Mobile too. Give him a call on (0430) 323 436

Tell him Bob with the Skylines in Castle Hill recommended you. Good guy with good work at a very fair price.

Bob.

  • 3 weeks later...

Gave him a quick call yesterday. Sounded like a really nice guy.

He quoted me around 350 for front and rear which is great as windscreens obrian wanted 220 for just the rear from memory.

And it's a mobile service! Will be using his services for

Sure!

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
