Windscreens O'Brien were the cheapest...and i think i was the starter of that thread:)

Reason i wasnt able to go with Windscreen O'Briens was because my windcreen has an in built arial, so had to be sourced by them as their in stock ones were minus this.

Other then that i think i know where i can get one if they cant help you out

hmmm i have the built-in aerial also in my front windscreen - i thought that was standard?

was it a big task to get a replacement then? (not that i need one, just for interests sake...)

Thanks for the replies. A quick ring around shows the cheapest to be $265 from instant windscreens. O'briens want $307. I'll try a few others. That's fitted on site, but for a windscreen without ariel. They all suggested gebuine was the only option if I wanted to keep the in-built ariel.

I had a vague memory of another company on the eastern suburbs that others had used....if only the search function was working properly.

that was one thing i always worried about with my R32... the aerial thing... i didnt want to have to do an R33 and make the body look ugly with a sitcky outie aerial. dont bother getting a quote on a brand new one through nissan... id hate to think how much that would cost.

lol... yeah but ur cars sexy anyway marcus...

:D

You cant buy side windows from anywhere apart from genuine ones....and the front one that he was quoted on was not a genuine unit...if you guys dont want external antenna's why dont you get one of those under dash power boosted units they have been out for years and work good

Aerpro make a couple of 'internal' antennas that will do the job.....each costs about $20. One can be attached to the rear demister grid which is pretty much how the stock R32 antenna works (but built into the front windscreen, of course).

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
