Thanks. Bad news for me tho. This is a discontinued part according to Nissan. Is this true? What are my options and is there a way to rectify this somehow

Talk to a body shop, they may be able to carefully bend the piece so it doesn't stick out quite so much. Keep in mind though that's easily an 800 USD part to find new if you're thinking of the part I'm thinking of.

Your talking on a R33 right ?

Had the same thing happen with mine along with the little plastic push clips/studs, that went to god, that secure it to the metal clips.

In the end I went and got some stainless steel domed allen key head bolts and bolted it back together.

Then stuck it to the window frame with quality double sided automotive tape

If it is the molding from A to B pillar you'll need to try and fix it. I have been trying to source these for an R33 for months (and am willing to pay stupid money for them if anyone knows where to find a set), they are like unicorns and I cannot find them anywhere in the world brand new.

If we are taking about the same thing, here it is:

Thanks for that, I have those pieces already so we're talking about different things :) The parts I need are 76870-22U00 and 76871-22U00 which are "Weatherstrip Retainer" - the hard black "plastic" molding running from the A pillar to B pillar.

Actually, I think the discontinued part is the one I’m also after/trying to fix. Sorry about the mix up

I'm surprised Nissan has no plans to reproduce those weatherstrip retainers, they're trading hands at 90k yen easily.

I decided to search again last night and found 1x 76870-22U00 in stock in Japan, and paid 112k yen for it 😐 stupid I know, but the only brand new one I have seen pop up in months. Now to find 76871... if you know of anyone that happens to have one, I am more than interested and will pay "im having a mid life crisis" stupid money for it.

They actually didn’t reproduce anything with the heritage scheme (scam), they took new old stock, changed the sticker and tripled the price 

Yep, literally slapped a Nismo part number sticker over the original Nissan sticker in a lot of circumstances.

That's just how it goes these days, if it wasn't you it would almost certainly be someone else.

So the weather strip to which the rain guard gets attached, should there be a gap/channel between this weather strip and the roof? Or should it be flush against the roof?

 

hey mate. the rubber weather strip is attached to the metal retainer and it should sit flush. mine had gaps all over on both sides. so i measured the difference, took them off then bend it back with a hammer dolly set.

You’re a genius!

 

was it fiddly to take off? And once measured did you have to keep reinstalling and removing until you made it perfect?

not at all. very easy.

you first remove the soft rubber door seals held on by push pins. this exposes the retainer. it comes off in one long piece after you remove the screws.

from there, measure gap. take off. bend. put back test fit etc until desired fitment. reinstall. done.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
