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!

[Deziner]

Not sure what caused it. Scared the hell out of me. Sounded like an explosion!

Thanks will them all a call Rob.

[Manuel Kasko]

Maybe someone shot at you?

[Sinista32]

is that what they call a door slammer

[Deziner]

Funnily enough I did think that about a gun shot as we have a reserve behind our house.

[Duncan]

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.

[Deziner]

Thanks Duncan. Much appreciated.

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?

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

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

Cheers.

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.

[Deziner]

Hey Kat,

I have searched for a tutorial to no avail!

But thinking I will do it myself. Can't be that difficult....I hope! LOL

[GTRKat]

LOL famous last words!

I wouldn't have thought it too hard.

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.

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

[Deziner]

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Still trying to track down a window. Or confirm the one for $150 is still available.

[Duncan]

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.

If you can find one is Sydney I can grab it for you. I'm there every day

[Deziner]

Got one from Trojan for $150.

Will be installing it myself on Saturday.

A guy slide into a tree about an hour and a half ago in Wanniassa and died - black Imprezza. Hope no one here knew him RIP

Oh shit really?
