Long story short, wasnt paying attention in car park - looking at reverse camera and not out the windows. Happened at Westmead Childrens carpark on split lvl.

so will cost me roughly $1515.80 to fix where my insuarance will only cover $1000 and I have to foot the rest. Currently no wreckers have stagea rear windows.

Is this normal price coming from nissan brand new including install. 6-8 week leadtime.

Sorry not new here - just cant get into my old account.

Bangahh since 2002, I have tried Ebay - might as well bite the bullet. thanx

$1550? For twice that you can buy a running M35!

Dont really want to spend the coin, Insurance company allows one free glass replacement a year capped at $1K

Going thru insurance preferred agent, apparently none in sydney wreckers. Im told.

Unlesss someone has one in Sydney - I'll call around just to make sure there is none before i order off nissan.

It's almost as if you didn't read that Scotty has one that you can buy for a shiteload less than buying through Nissan?

I bet you could have it shipped from Melbourne to Ryde pretty easily too.

Why do people want to do things the hard way?

If you've got $1K of insurance money to spend, I'll personally drive one to your door, lol.

thanks guys for your response, problem with shipping glass / fragile item is that most normal transport company wont gurantee insure it unless you use a company that specialise in fine arts ( apparently ) I have used something similar for transporting Servers and they arnt cheap.

BTW - I did give Scotty a call.

The thought of driving to Melb myself did cross my mind, but im dealing with the insurance preferred agent. This is the first accident i have had in 15 years ( 10yrs in R33 and 4yrs in M35 )

I could have met you at the border and done the dodgy deal in a truck stop. lol.

With enough bubble wrap or blankets I am sure it would have made it fine. This way you would have got the whole window in the frame with switch, hinges etc, not just the glass.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
