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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
