hey,

ive got this rust area developing under the right hand side of my rear window. ive been told that the rear window must be taken out to fix it properly. now i dont know whether to take the chance of getting professionals take out my rear window and fix it, because ive asked around for some quotes and im happy with the price although theres that slight chance that the window can break when they are removing it. and if it goes wrong im going to need to buy a new rear window. would u guys take the chance? its getting quite big now and i cant get it off my mind. thought id ask some opinions.

some additional information, ill be looking at keeping the car for say another year or so until i can get some money to upgrade.

thanks

stephen

no way. shop around a bit more. if you're taking your car to a panel shop for repairs, those guys know how to remove windows etc. if they break it, they replace it. never heard of them not taking resposibility for their work.

On such an issue, many places WON'T take responsibility for a broken window, but it is a very low chance of it breaking.

And I would be replacing it. If the insurance company can claim its structural, you're stuffed if you have an acco.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
