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!

  • 3 weeks later...
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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
