Unfortunately my sunroof came flying off on graham farmer fwy, doing a few flips and a jump, committing suicide on the front of a bus, thank **** it wasnt a car!!!

If anyone knows where/how to get this replaced pls let me know asap. (I think i need to get one cut- i've had no luck with wreckers etc).

It was not the original sunroof, it had been replaced once before (before i owned the car and I dont know who replaced it) and obviously not done properly.

Dangerous!

oh and id like to express my disliking for the nissan place in vic park....quoted $1800 for JUST the glass of the sunroof. I thought he was cracking a funny one.

* Contacted Prestige sunroofs. They can only offer me fitting services and recommended i try a glass cutter. He seems to think perspex is illegal and will splinter, i will need "safety glass" which is meant to shatter upon impact.

Anyone on here a glass cutter? :hearts:

go to the service section and ask for Brad. he knows who you are and may be able to hook you up with a cheaper version of the same thing :uh-huh:

tell him simon sent u

Thats kool, his car doesnt look boonga? maybe i didnt pay enough attention.

So far it has cost me $20. I got some free perspex and the $20 was the cost to get it cut to size. Now I gotta get it fitted with glue and bolts. Dunno how though, any ideas? someone else with a sunroof- how is it fitted?

Curious if anyone can help me with the sunroof seal and a plastic surround for the outside? need it urgently.

Hey Steve, there was a wrecker in malaga that i found who had a whole r32 roof with sunroof still in tact. Once i find out their business name, ill write it up here. (Im getting a roof with sunroof from jap for cheaper- that's why i didnt buy it).

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
