Can anyone give me some names (and phone numbers if possible)

of places that I can get the sunroof seal on my R32 replaced?

Places in western suburbs or city area would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Had the same prob. No 1 i found could replace the seal ;) Ended up buying a second hand sunroof, with good seal.

The is a joint that does sunroofs on Princess Hwy just near Dandenong/Noble park not 100% sure of the name i can find out on my way home for you if you like get a number for you to call?

Only thing is Dandenong to for you to go to???

Im fairly sure they did that pimp car for Nova....

The guys name is Michael. Usually they can help out. Give them a try.

Ahhh thanks heaps Mavric & MissRB25DET!

I will give them a call/send them an email and see what they say about the sunroof seal, worth a try.

Haha Dandy is the bush, seeing as I'm out near the airport :) But I can make a day trip out of it!

Thanks again for the help, will post The Sunroof Centre's reply up here either way so people know they can give them a call or so people can suggest some other places to try.

Well, I called The Sunroof Centre...

They were very helpful in telling me that I need to find a sunroof seal in better condition from a wreckers or I'm stuck with a leaking sunroof. Something about because its a factory sunroof you cant just pull it out and put a new one in.

So I still need helpppp regarding this, can anyone reccomend some wreckers to try for the seal?

Thanks :O

WazR32GTSt, silicone would be a quick fix, thought I would do that (plus the cover I have for car) for now till I fix it properly...

MissRB25DET I called the guy and he was VERY helpful, however not want I wanted to hear. He said I wont find just the seal, that I will need to replace sunroof. He also said to say thank you to you for all the reccomendations, he is getting business from you mentioning him to us skyline owners :P

Thanks again!

some call cable ties a "quick fix" too...

i think they're both a viable long-term option :P

Thats really nice to hear :)I have bought a few things from them and never had a problem.

As for the sunroof, what are you going to do now?

i could have a look at it and devize an idea that would make it look OEM....possibly even get an original seal for it

SKYLINE_GURL... Anything this man says he can do.. He Can!!!

Troy is a top bloke hes helped me out numerous times....

Got the car delivered last night and found that the sunroof doesnt open and close, well it moves a cm and opens upwards a bit but doesnt slide open completely.

That wouldnt be just a seal like the guy said would it!?...

I couldn't tell whether the seal needs replacing, not sure where seals are on this sunroof. Is there a seal on outside edge of it that should sit flush with the car roof? That's how I thought it was meant to be but it has a gap all the way around the sunroof...

Can anyone understand what I mean, to explain what should look like?

Now I dunno if needs seal, service or replacinggg

I can hear the motor working and the sunroof moves a bit, just seems to get stuck and not go any further but I can still hear the motor working... might try oil/lube see if it gets it moving, save myself getting new motor/entire sunroof.

Will post a pic up of the sunroof tonight, showing seal, well 'lack' of seal on outside. So much fuss for a sunroof (that i didnt know the car had when looking at purchasing it) But with the melb weather I dont want to wait till it pours and leaks to find out!

Once again thanks for the help, ideas etc.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
