So,

Ever since the first stag cruise here in SA ive had a small stone chip on the windscreen (where we pulled of onto gravel between strath and victor as we drove of car in front of me flicked up a rock).

Driving home from work yesterday hurd an ad about how obrien do a windscreen repair for these chips to prevent cracks in future and it getting worse due to heat ect..... though to my self yeah should get it done.

Well today after work jump in car (boiling hot here today 40+deg) crank the A/C... takes a while to get cold as you know and then i feel the refreshing cool on my face and tink tink tink.... your not f**king serious! yeah away it cracked.

Cry cry cry

driving to work this morning, in the rh lane on the freeway, i hear a f**kin BANG! i thought oh f**k thats not cool.

a rock from a truck hit my screen. if i had have been in the middle lane where the truck was, it would have probably hit me square in the face.

good start to the day. as soon as i put a for sale sign on the car, this happens.

Quick question - do any of these non-oem replacement screens have the de-icer in them? My S1 has a couple of small chips that could almost warrant a claim on my insurance, but the de-icer is my main concern with aftermarket...

did ring obrians today.... turns out they dont have any s1 screens left in oz and they asked for my VIN number so they could get it in from nissan.... does this mean im gonna be up for a grand?

Dunno but when they replaced my windscreen they took down the tint number (apparently there are three or more different ones ) to make sure they matched it. Just ring your local windscreen replacement outfit and if they don't know the answer tell them to find out - shouldn't be too hard.

well was alot easier than expected! Got it replaced thisarvo by InstanWindscreens. Had one in stock here in SA!

My vision is clear as day $395 later, was expecting iot to be ALOT more than that

And today on the way to work.... Another f**king stone chip. Got it booked into for a repair/glue tomorrow morning before it gets up to 38 in the arvo to reduce the chance of loosing 2 in less than a year!

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
