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

oh, is this for comprehensive? it will be a cold day in hell before i can afford comprehensive. under 25, male, import, turbo, variety of traffic offences... yeah, my comprehensive is about $6000 a year

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
