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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
