Hey everyone, hopefully someone will be able to help me out or at least steer me in the right direction.

I have a 1989 R32 GTS-T automatic RB20DET and i am in desperate need of a rear window, window was smashed in Sep 05' and still haven't managed to find a replacement. Genuine replacement windscreen from japan will cost approx $1,300 (thats a full on last resort)

Just to settle a bit of a score with the wreckers, will a rear window from any R32 2 door fit onto my car? As i told the bloke that it was a 1989 R32 GTS-T 2 door and he assured me that he cut the windscreen out of a rear cut R32 with his own hands, so either he didn't cut it out himself or he dosen't know what an R32 GTS-T looks like. . . or i am wrong and there is different windscreens for different R32's

When the windscreen eventually got here it wasn't even close to fitting, im talking 2-3 inches short (top to bottom) and approx 1 inch too long (side to side), possibly off an R33.

If anyone has a spare or knows where i can find a 2nd hand one for around $400 please get in contact with me as it's been too long and cops are threatening to defect me. Plus my parcel shelf is totally screwed due to rain and the elements.

Also after a 5spd gearbox, RB25 box would be good but i hear there pretty rare as there quite good, so an RB20 gearbox will be fine. If anyone knows a good place to purchase one or has one they are looking to sell please post a reply or get in contact with me.

Thanks for you time

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
