Cool. Any idea the best place to get one? Closed my door when I got home and the window exploded!

That is Crazy! Do you think it was touching something hard inside the door?

or maybe too much air pressure inside... Seals too good.

Trojan? or whatever JapSpec turned into?

or Try Jap Parts in Fyshwick maybe...

Tell him Rob with the R31 Wagon sent ya! :thumbsup:

hmm that is strange....I agree it seems likely it either hit something inside or maybe the lower seal is rusted/loose?

anyway, if you find a window in Sydney I can bring it down next week.

Bub wanted to get up at 5 this morning.....

Lucky he did, i found water spreading across the lino floor.

One of the fishtanks is leaking. Emptied it out, fish in a bucket, took it outside.

Good excuse to get rid of it...... dont tell the missus i said that. ;)

less fish time=more skyline time

Anyone want a pair of Angelfish?

I once had an old Pintara as a daily that someone smashed the window on. We got the window from the wreckers and I can't remember it taking Pete more than a couple of hours all up to fix?

Different car but still Nissan with all electric bits etc.

Surprised also if there's not a tutorial on here how to do it somewhere.

Hi Eric - have done it twice on my 32

It's not complex at all but the first time will take 1-2hrs. It's mainly about the angle of getting glass out/in.

Make certain you give it a great vacuum if the glass has shattered.

It gets every where but particularly on the brushes and inner/outer window strips

Which means if you don't do it properly your new (2nd hand) window will scratch-up the first time you put it up/down.

It's 10 minst to get the door card off and all the window switches out and unplugged

bout 10-20 to undo the nuts holding the window in

bout 10-20mins removing the window - but if yours is shattered just the thourough vacuum and removal of broken glass.

I did it alone but it would be a lot easier if there are 2 of you. Just balancing the window, slotting it in and doing the nuts up whilst the other holds the galss in place.

TFE mate.

$150 for a window and $300 to install it.

How hard are they to install? Anyone have any idea?

Cheers.

It wont be too hard would just need 2 sets of hands to do it.

I might be able to assist tomorrow night if you need

yeah DIY is very do-able, cleaning it out is the pain as said above. Also check for rust in the channel that holds the window, and also rust or damage to the "waist mould" that goes along the top of the door.

the only other issue can be adjusting the window afterwards (we had heaps of trouble in the 350z) but I think a 33 should be old enough to just do a straight replacement without any annoying adjustments.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
