From what I hear, it's a pretty difficult venture at the moment. If you can wait, then by all means, keep scouring but I know there's no way I'd wait even just for the simple fact that it's cold out there (and gets occasionally wet)! :P

Have you found out from your local dealership's spares division how much you'd be looking at for a new one? If you're in Sydney, try my pick of the bunch - Steve Jarvin Nissan.

Why not try Nissan? Have you contacted them yet?

From my experience, Nissan take a maximum of 10 business days to receive anything from Japan and considering that this is the 10th business day from your first post, I would imagine that you could have been dropping your V36 in to Nissan this morning to have the window fitted.

Anyone ?.. Damn this annoying... So hard to get even a window these day... God please gelp

Trust me, if anyone knew of a better source (or if there was a God), you would've been told by now.

Not sure which dealership you spoke to but in Sydney, I know my favourite spares guy at Steve Jarvin gets stuff in for me within two weeks, typically. That said, I've never had to get any glass, so it could take longer being a more fragile and larger item.

Like I said, if you want this sorted out in the least possible time, spend big at a dealership.

Think of it another way. The longer you wait for a cheaper solution, the sooner you could've had one on the way over from Japan. Personally, I'd spend the big bucks because it's a protective component of the vehicle - keeps the water out - and I don't fancy the idea of a mouldy, smelly car.

Since you have the time to wait, why not try looking on Yahoo Auctions via Import Monster?

A very, very quick look in the body part section showed a number of doors that still have the window inside.

You could also try Jesse Streeter. Giving him the part number will help both of you.

For someone asking for help, you don't seem to have provided much info. Which window? Is it a coupe or sedan?

If you don't have the part number, go to http://nissan.epc-data.com and find it.

Too easy mate... give Nissan King in NZ a call, they have the coupe and sedan for wreck (numerous cars) so sure to have what you need, they are pretty cheap also and will ship to australia.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
