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).

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
