Hi guys,

I want ro replace the window seals that run (on the car body) from the height of the door handle up the frames, across the top, then down to the base of the a-pillar. I have been quoted prices from $40 all the way to $440... surely they are not all talking about the same part. this is my problem i want the right part. Has anyone ever replaced those seals? if so can you please share with me the part number and price?

I really do need it urgently. thanks for anyone that can help. :laugh:

It's the soft rubber seal that the window seals up against when the door is closed.

ok, well i ascertained which one it is. the window seal costs ~$500, and the hard plastic bit that goes above it is ~$250. basically approx $800 per side. then you still have the lower seals. around $100 there, so to renew just the main window seals in your 32 is a $2000 proposition. then you still have, quarter windows, rear screen and front screen...

it would be cheaper to buy a skyline in japan with good ones then use them on your car.

whats the price on a rear window seal?

Are you talking rear 3/4 window or rear windscreen. I priced the rear windscreen seal kit (includes the rubbers, fastners and some sort of expoxy or something) awhile ago and it was crazy expensive (off the top of my head, about $650).

according to nissan today rear window seal kit is unavailable atm. front was ex japan and was lots of $$

kyle, i would love if you could find out the costs for me on the door-window seals. there are 3 bits i'm interested in. the seal that the window pushes against when the door is closed, the one that runs above that, and the one that goes on the door itself (other two attach to car body).

thanks, but i'm not too hopefull those prices were from a nissan parts dealer.

yeah i will try roy.

It's a bit dissapointing. the seals on my car are ok. no leaks anywhere, but i want them to look brand new.

Didnt you watch the Worlds Fastest Indian??? Boot polish my friend!

But $2k s'hit a brick. Is that because you have frameless windows? Im up for them soon but my goodness.

Are we talking rear "window" (i.e. 3/4 window) or "windscreen"? :thumbsup:

I was talking rear windscreen. I priced it about 12 months ago. I was told I couldn't buy the rubber seperate from the kit, but the kit was available. I know others have replaced theirs using aftermarket ones designed other cars, but I've never been able to find anyone to tell me what they had fitted or where.

My drivers side window seal (the one the window actually touches) is cracked at the top of the B-pillar so I will be interested to see if you can find a decently priced replacement.

Well, on four door Skylines a rear window would be something else :thumbsup:

Have you tried using a rubber rejuvenator? Meguirs is probably the easiest to get. They are suppose to soften and recolour the rubber. There are some other dodgier options: I've seen tyre black/shine work quite well, but obviously you probably don't want to apply that in case it gets on the paint. Others say a couple of WD-40 treatments works wonders. For a couple of bucks it might be worth a go?

yeah i've thought about that but i just want newies. :thumbsup:

i havent compromised any aspect of the car to this point and it's starting to bug me. i'm doomed to have crappy seals.

speaking of quarter windows,

does anyone have a clue as to how they come out? ive been trying and trying now and cant get them to budge.

anyone know prices on the rubber kit for them? what i heard is $550 incl the actual glass.. but i only need the seals.

anyone who has info on aftermarket substitutes for the rear window seal would be awesome too.. and windscreen come to think of it.

Try Rezz. He can get new oem parts from Nissan Japan for slightly cheaper than aus delivered oem gear.

There was a thread in the Jap section.

Beer baron - the rear window seal kit was roughly $400, the rear 1/4 window seal can only be bought with the window and is $400 per side. The door rubbers you want i inquired here in Adelaide and they wanted $120 per side.

There is someone on the forums here who mentioned someone like Windscreens obrien just use a generic seal off something like a commondore that works for the rear seal.

Speak to Rezz though....its in his sig from memory :thumbsup:

hi bl4ck32,

are you sure the $120 ones are the rigt ones? i'll happily pay that much. the ones i'm talking about are soft rubber and run around the door frame (but on the car body, not the door). they start where the striker plate is (height of the door handle) and run up the b pillar then across the roof and down to the base of the a pillar.

in fast i believe it's part number 78859 or 76812 (probably the second number). that's for RH only, LH is a different number.

i think this file shows the right bit in fast. i acutally need both of those bits. one is hard plastic (runs outside the window when closed) and the other is the more important one i need. the soft rubber one the window seals against at the top.

if you could check for me that would be awesome.

im sure it was $120 ea for the soft rubber as both my drivers and passenger side glass rubbers are shagged at the top corners. I rang the guy here in Adelaide (Unley Nissan) and he recently got them for his own 32 GTR and he knew exaclty what i wanted.

I need the hard bits too as some f*kwit tried to break into my car and ive got screwdriver marks along the hard rubbers.

linky no worky as well :wave:

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
