Hey SAU team, 

Does anyone have complete Sunroof kit from a R33 GTST Skyline? 

Even if the Glass is broken as I have the Glass in tact, see photos.  

Or can you or someone you know repair the one I have. 

One of the struts is bent and there is a Fibreglass section around the glass, like a seal that has been shattered (see photo, not the best photo but hope you get the idea) all after our Car was broken into. 

So either a complete Kit including seals & firebeglass surround, or someone who can fix what we have and new rubber seals also, would be amazing. 

Or worst case, we will have to replace it with a sliding Sunroof or something that can be built custom to suit the hole but cost effective. 

If anyone knows a Sunroof Guru that is good but cost effective? 

Would love to hear some solutions. 

Thanks heaps team!!! 

We r in Melbourne. 

🚘 👍🇦🇺

Your best bet is to go a quality aftermarket sunroof or if you have heaps of money Nissan still make most parts I believe https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/ecr33/3915-rb25det/body/736/

Is it possible to (not in a money-no-object sense) to get an aftermarket sunroof to fit the stock cut-out? I do wonder because I've been dealing with sunroof trauma for about 9 months now on my R34 and have always seen the aftermarket ones advertised. It would be great to get an aftermarket system that retains the stock glass. 

On a side-note, some of the sunroof parts from Nissan are discontinued. I've occasionally seen R33 sunroof assemblies floating around international auctions whilst on my hunt for an R34 one.

I'll keep my eye out for your R34 if you can do the same for my R33?

Haha sure. One of the guys here pointed out a complete 34 assembly in Aus but shipping was outrageous. So for me it has to be in Europe or Japan.

FYI, there is an HCR33 sunroof for sale on yahoo auction for 10,000 yen:

Would be easy to find one that fits, not sure why you would want to find one that retains the factory glass. 

I think most of the major parts are available from nissan at retarded prices.

I’ve seen those for sale over here too. The thing is, I don’t particularly like the idea of some guy I can barely communicate with cutting up the roof panel. So I should rephrase my question to: is there an option to fit a third party sunroof in the factory sunroof-spec roof panel without cutting up the OEM roof panel?

Yep, OEM prices for sunroof components are at dumb prices. >20k yen for one of the pulley wires.

It’s possible a factory 25yr old sunroof is better than a post-break-in damaged sunroof assembly. I’d go for it provided the local hoarders don’t bid into the extremes for it.

I would ask the question....is it possible to fix the roof with some steel to replace the bloody stupid glass that someone** jammed in there mistakenly thinking it was a good thing?

**Yes. I'm including Nissan.

Yeah, I've thought about this too. For me, this would be a back-in-the-UK kinda thing as I have the issue that basically no one has that they can't properly converse with body shops and subsequently be able to trust them.

I do like the extra light that comes through from having a 20-odd kg scrap assembly at the highest point of the car though. 😒

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
