If anyone can help.   I need to know the part number a windshield for an R33 skyline (2 door).  I live in the states and have an R33.  the windshield was cracked when i recieved the car.  Will a mid 90's Q45 windshield work, or possibly one from a J-30?  Thanks!

The chances are slim that the windshield from those other cars will fit. I had a quick look in FAST and there are a number of alternative PN's for the windshield depending on the year of manufacture of your car. Post up the VIN of your car and we should be able to identify the correct PN.

Thanks. The "vin" on the bulkhead says "HR33-015960". I work for Infiniti and also own www.j-specdirect.com. Neither have been much help to me with this situation! :P Hopefully this is the right number. This car origionally was an RB20E model, we did an RB25DET conversion (minus the hubs). Thanks for yoru help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't be able to do anything until I'm back at work on Monday (Sunday your time, I think).

The genuine part is likely to be pretty expensive unless there's a local (US) equivalent.

Another possibility is to contact an Australian parts supplier who might be able to help, example:

PS Don't have any VQ45DE's lying around ?? :)

STEVEL--- I'd gladly work a trade on some VQ45DE's for a few RB30E's. :) I've built one RB30DETT so far, and it was just crazy! I'd love to have a few more. I can get VH45DE (90-93) for about $1400.00 US runnings, and $700.00 US core, 94'-96' VH45DE for $1400.00 US running, $900.00 core and the new (2002-later) VK45DE running $3600.00. I might have one that smokes (ITB01-070) that just needs some new rings (failed oil consumption test, but compression is top notch). Brand new VK45DE is $7500.00 US from the dealer. Anyway, doubt you needed all that info, just figured I'd say it all at once. Thanks for helping me with this windshield problem!

HR33-015960

That VIN is not recognised by FAST. Check the blue ID plate attached to the firewall. I suspect the actual VIN number is:

ECR33-015960

Certainly that is recognised by FAST and it gives the following PN for the front windshield glass:

72712-22U10 (for a 8/93-1/95 R33 GTS25t Type M coupe)

BUT you really need to double check the VIN.

i think his car will be HR33 as its was a non turbo 2 ltr H designates the engine used

Yeh, that plus the fact that he says it was originally RB20DE powered, but now has an RB25DET installed :Oops:

Anyway, that VIN isn't recognised by my version of FAST. But I suspect coupe windshields will be the same regardless of engine, and the same would be true for sedans.

Yep,

I checked my FAST system, and sure enough, that part # is good, though it superceeds to a 72712-24U00. It doesnt show for any vehicle here, though its only one letter off from another vehicle. It also measures remarkably close to the windshield in the new Pontiac GTO....I believe you guys call them a Holden. Anyway, I'd gladly buy one from you, if your willing to ship several thousand miles. :rofl: Oh, and I pay with bank checks for anything overseas, so no worries about a canceled credit card order. If you could help me, I'd be appreciative!

I must admit I'm scratching my head as to why you didn't look it up yourself since you have access to FAST :confused:

Anyway, why not just order the windshield through a Nissan dealer ??

Unfortunately, here in the states, they are strict about autoparts from other countries. I mean, yes, we can get used parts in under the assumption that they will be used for "race and off road use", but nothing new unless you have buddies outside the country. I couldnt look up my VIN either, as Nissan USA has only the models avaiable here....though it did recognize the part number when I did a part# search. As for ordering it, the local Nissan dealer (or any dealer here for that matter) cant order something if they dont have it available on an american model. Yeap, we can see the part#, but thats it....no parts illistrations, no price lists, nothing. Without that, all the places I've found wont let you order it. Infiniti, has Infininet, which uses an AS400 system. So even though it shows the "order quantity" icon on FAST, we cant use it, as it is not linked to the Infininet, therefore making it an unrecognized part number. Land of the FREE, remember that....till you need one stinkin part and you cant get it! LOL Anyway, thanks for all your help!

I understand your problem, but as a private individual I'm not 'set up' for doing this sort of thing. I'd suggest getting in touch with some of the Oz parts importers, I'm sure that you'll find one that's going to be able to help:

Nope!Sedans have a diffrent screen....i know this coz i have put 4 door fronts on 2 doors before and i cant use the A pillars because of this reason.....they splay out wider on the top and are about 100mm taller

I meant that 2-door windscreens would be the same regardless of engine, and the same would be true for sedans (ie all sedan windscreens are likely the same). I didn't mean that 2-door windscreens were the same as sedan windscreens.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
