hey bl4ck32, any joy with SA nissan on the seals yet?

thanks mate!

Just rang nissan spares... they're $203.15 plus GST each trade price. Apparently both are in stock in Syd. Can have em delivered to the nearest Nissan dealership.

Retail is $216 plus GST. Big saving

Yup, rang em this arvo, and i got the same as everyone else. I know i got the wrong guy too. Id have to go in there to speak to the guy. But this other nissan knob said $260 a set, or $230 for a bulk purchase of 5...whoopie.

Im going in there i reckon and make sure i get the right guy...always better to speak to them face to face, so i can hassle him some

[Beer Baron]

sweet you are a legend. was $260 a set meaning just the one seal, or $260 a set (meaning one left, and one right)? Cause if it's the latter that is still pretty good.

thanks mate, there has been a delay where my car is being painted so i have a few more days up my sleave now to sort this one out.

Id put money on it being for the one side.

There are a few places in Adelaide that make rubber seals for cars, (like rare spares do for the old holdens) Im gunna try contact a few and see if we can get some made up, like the genuine nissan ones...

mmm maybe instead of making a 32 into a Beer R 324 you are making a 34 into a much more styling 342?

Hey guys, Im in the process of completely rebuilding my R32 Gtr ground up. It was tidy before (possibly one of the best) but hey im fussy! Prolly like you baron! Anyway i've been told the front and rear glass on the skylines is capsulated, they say that it is very hard to remove without breaking the glass! On top of that ive heard that a genuine front windscreen is around $2000! I prefer to go with genuine nissan stuff but thats crazy! Anyone got any input on the whole glass breaking thing?? Im a little worried. I dont mind changing seals but glass is not an option.

i sucessfully removed my rear windscreen without breaking it, however you have very little chance of getting the front one out without breaking it.

- as i did mine :S

well i just had the front screen, rear screen and both quarter windows removed. no breakages thankfully. the place that is painting my car have a specialist glass removing dude come in to do that though. he did mention that the actual rubber seals are glued to the screen?

I have so far spent probably near on $1K just on seals and shit. I used the front mould kit that Kris talked about. It's just the 3 outer moulds and costs $180 trade, $220 retail. I even was going to do gaskets for the goor handles (even thought you can only just see it) but they wont sell seperately, only as a set with a new handle and it's $90 each side and no stock so as i was out of time i just had to draw the line somewhere.

I think to do every seal and mould would be well over $2K probably even approaching $3K just for the parts. and assuming you have access to a trade account. I am trying to source some direct from japan though, so i will see how that goes, but it will be too late for my current build

Front and rear glass rubbers ~550 from nissan trade!!

did anyone say ground-up rebuild?

[Beer Baron]

marcus, did you look in the boxes that came from nissan with those parts? because i'm pretty sure that's not the rubbers, just the outer moulds.

[Ronin 09]

fark I don't know... haven't got them yet - they're on order...

how much are the rubbers as well?

[Beer Baron]

well i've now got:

door rubber seals, both sides

front windscreen mould kit

front screen seal kit

front screen locking seal kit

door window moulds/seals (finally)

rear windscreen mould kit (the $$$$$ one)

rear screen seal

rear windscreen locking seal

the only thing left is quarter windows (cant do) and door handle gaskets.

getting there....

[Ronin 09]

tell 'em the price, son!!

[Beer Baron]

haha, you dont want to know. let's just say it's mighty painful.

as for the rubber prices i'm not sure, i'll check for you tomorrow or monday mate.
