My GF just got a new honda jazz and we had it fitted with a sunroof. The dealer told us that this wasn't a stardard option from honda. He told us that the sunroof that was going to be put in was going to be done by the company who puts it on BMW (forgot the name of the company). I have to say it was done very nicely. Full electronic control. Makes me want to get one for my R33 but i would rather do the performance first.

It cost us an extra $2500 for the sunroof.

I think the ones that dealers get for cars that don't come with them factory-optioned are done by Hollandia. I'm pretty sure their standards are high, so you shouldn't have too many issues. As mentioned, it will probably be big dollars though.

I'm pretty sure that's who does the new car ones, but don't quote me on it.

Do a search through the Yellow/White pages (or Google it) and you might get a list of workshops contracted to do them.

Dude, I'm pretty sure Hollandia will be reliable - IIRC they have enough of a reputation to be doing kits for new car dealerships both with sunroof installs and also power window kits.

I found this link to help you with a search, just in case you do wish to go ahead and/or find out more on pricing...

Also found this link too, for a direct link to Webasto.

You let your mates smoke in your car??? :D

If one of my mates did that, I'd hit the eject button and send them straight to the sidewalk...

Anyway, back on topic, a friend of mine had a Webasto sunroof on his Astra SRi and never had any problems with it. I know it cost him a packet to get fitted though and I think the novelty of having it wore off after a while.

Personally, I think sunroofs are a nice thing to inherit when you buy a car (i had one on my Prelude and loved it), but I could never justify paying the $2.5k to get one fitted.

Wouldn't you rather spend the money on go fast bits or a nice set of wheels???

point 1, no one should smoke in your car, unless you are talking a big fat blunt which is acceptable. even you should not smoke cigarettes in your own car.

point 2, if it was me and i really wanted a sunroof i would get a GTST with a factory nissan sunroof. much better. plus they brace the roof differently in sunroof models to counteract some of the lost strength.

actually no, there's not much bracing around the R32 factory sunroof... different shape roof support bar, that's about it.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
