Hi folks, I am trying to find a company that will ship a replacement windscreen for my beloved axis to the UK. None of the firms my insurance company uses can source one and I have been told nissan dont make them anymore.(is this bs?)

I can get windscreens for my C34 Stagea so I am sure that they will be available for the NM35.

I am not sure what you mean by "firms that your insurance company use".

Get into your phone book and on the internet and look up every auto glass supplier and ask them if they can help.

I am sure that someone in NZ would ship you a windscreen but it would not be cheap and seems silly.

If you really can't get one in Britain ask Jesse Streeter if he can get one to you: http://jessestreeter.com/

P.S. are you a film director?

Yeah thats what I am doing.... but the nm35 parts market is tiny over here as there are probably less than ten in the country. It seems no one has the glass in the uk.

I have glass cover on my fully comp insurance, so they have prefered firms to do the job, as they cant supply the glass, I was looking for any possible options to get it myself.

Think there is more of a chance of finding a screen in russia / eastern europe, but i dont speak the lingo so good.

Ps

Wouldnt mind his money

Have you approached Nissan?

They should be able to look up your VIN and order the correct windscreen (if it has cold pack option etc).

You may need to find the "right" dealership though. We have some over here that won't touch imports, but the majority are willing to take our money.

Even better would be to grab the part number from the website below and ask for a price on a specific part.

EDIT: actually, the part number for the glass should be one of these: http://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/nm35/6838-vq25det/body/720/72613/. Just go by the production period and whether you have the cold pack or not.

Hi There,

Like I said on your facebook post, the V35 sedan windscreen is identical to the M35, so it might be worth seeing if that throws up any more options in the UK. The cold pack thing is just down to the heating elements in the bottom edge of the windsreen, so push come to shove, probably not so important.

Only real issue between my origional JDM windsreen and the AUS made V35 replacement, was the lack of the blue tinted section at the top... Again, something I could live with..

Other suggestion, might be if anyone in Europe has imported any of the Infiniti G35 (2002-2007) sedans or order one from the US though Infiniti there. It would be a stock part for them.

Good luck with your search!!

I have checked the epc with my vin, and have the correct part number.

E-mailed jesse streeter but he doesn't want to ship a screen as half get busted in transit. So thats fair enough.

Will try contacting nissan re the avalability of the v35 screens

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
