My lovely new stagea has a massive crack across the windscreen thanks to a dodgy repair job on a stone chip.

my question is, are R34 windscreens the same as Stageas? I have no idea where to even start looking for a windscreen except import wreckers.

Cheers

Probably the best bet is to check the part number and see if you get any replies from a post asking R-34 owners to do the same, or maybe make a quick phone call to a wrecker's or dealership...

O'briens in Bathurst is where i took it initially to get the stone chips fixed.

I went to the Fyshwick Shop today, and they told me that the repairs are under warranty, and if i get a new windscreen, they'll take the cost of repairs off the total cost of a new windscreen. they didn't know what sort of car it was though, and said it might be hard to get one, so i'm looking myself.

I just can't find the receipt of the initial chips being repaired to guarrantee the warranty

I got quoted from O'briens in fyshwick, $1020 for a windscreen, and that's just the cost for them to get it. this doesnt include labour or whatever markup they put ontop of it.

just a reminder to all stagea owners, be careful with your windscreens... they're bloody expensive

You drive a $20,000 car without comprehensive insurance? Wow... I'd rather go for a local car than drive a car without insurance if it cost me more than $10,000. I just couldn't justify losing so much money!

Btw, I have a crack in my windscreen too, will chase around for one next week, I have a couple of mates who work for windscreen repairs so I'll see what they come up with, I'll let you know!

I drove my $25000 R33 without comprehensive too. i figure, i wont hit anyone. i haven't had an at fault accident yet, but avoided a fair few not-at fault ones. canberra drivers are just idiots.

I get 3rd party, and if i hit someone, it's my own stupid fault.

R33 windscreens don't fit. I've got a 300ZX leaving Japan in a week or so, I'll get my guys over there to stick a couple of windscreens in it, looks like they're rare as rocking horse shit over here... not surprising really. I really wanted to have a set of TE37s in that car but a windscreen's more important for now :-/ I won't even ask Nissan, it'll definitely be $1500+ and apparently getting a mold done would be anywhere between $1500.- and $3000.- depending on where you go, so really your O'Brien quote is low!

If you do that i'll be the happiest man in the world. how much are they over in japan?

Ok, I can get them, they're $850.- by the time they're here in Australia. If you want one you will need to let me know asap, I have a windscreen place up here in Brissy who's willing to buy two of them (I'm getting three) off me right away, so there must be some more Stageas driving around with damaged windscreens :)

Edit: The $850.- includes seafreight (2wks shipping time) as they won't fit into my 300ZX, plus the 300ZX isn't leaving Japan until January anyway. Keep in mind that the 2wks ETA puts arrival right around xmas so it'll probably be just before new year, maybe even first week of Jan before I can get the windscreen to you.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
