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

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!

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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
