R32 Rubber Door Seals

[Sqd32]

hey guys, i have only had my 32 for about a month now but when i got it, i noticed that the top two corner rubber seals of each door were kinda cracked and i believe that they are whats causing a whistling noise when driving (really annoying, trust me). i went to clark rubber and asked if they had anything, they said they only had the seals the suit the 32 gtr model, im just wondering if anyone knows will the gtr seals fit the gts-t? cheers for any help

CLARK RUBBER???? They have them???? Fark! How much? Yes the same ones will fit the GTS-t. At least I'm 99.99999% sure they will. Only difference on a GTR body is the quarter panels. Roof and doors are the same. If the quality and price of the Clark ones is good this is a winner. All the R32's shag the seals at the upper rear corner and Nissan ones are over $500/pair. Please post more info. I can feel a group buy coming on.

well i will go down monday and ask them, cuz last time when the guy told me he only had the gtr i assumed there was a difference. SWEET, im so sick of the noise it makes lol. get back to you all once i find out.

Cool. Not sure about the whistling though. Usually the top rear corner will chew through the seal over the years but mine doesn't whistle or leak yet. Mind you that's just mine. Btw, the bloke at Clark rubber might have meant they only have seals for coupes. Obviously the sedan ones are different. Will look forward to reading your report.

uhhhh some bad news..... turns out the guy i was speaking to last time just told me that he could get the seals without checking. i went down today and after 15 mins of searching on the computer, another guy said he wasnt able to get them . so uhh sorry for misleading you guys, i feel pretty bad about it, plus now i have no idea where to get the seals from. all he could suggest was a place in nsw that only do nissan parts but they are still expensive as, either that or go to nissan with a shotgun and hope for the best. so sorry again guys

cheers glenn

will probably be cheaper to get them custom made from some place ey ?

[wonkynutz]

No problem.His stuff up, not yours.

soo.....still no solution to where to get these seals from? who would have after market ones? plus im also after the seal for the back window aswell? anyone know where i cna get that from without having to pay like 500 bucks for it!!

thanks guys

Well I tried this bunch that do seals for (scuse the naughty words) Fords and Holdens and such.They have theirs made in Melbourne but the place doesn't make 32 seals.I think he said they do 31's though.

So far I'm stuck with Nissan.Hey just a thought:given the number of 32's with rooted seals around now it might be possible to get a good price for a load of them custom made.

Sounds like a group buy would be in order

[wonkynutz]

Methinks also,but given my location I reckon someone in a capital city should get onto it.

now theres an idea! all we have to do is find someone who will make them

rarespares or something may well be able to make them.. they are well known for making seals for 'classic' old cars. If they thought the demand was there, they may well do. But it depends on the numbers.

Lets face it, probably 2/3 of R32 have the stuffed rear window seal by now, and the door ones stuffed or nearly there. There'd be a heap of buyers if the price wasn't stratospheric.

[RB20JT]

who is doing the organising then? hahaha

[thrtytwo]

im not putting my hand up, but i plan on ringing around , will let yall know how it go's

[wonkynutz]

Clark rubber don't have them. Check earlier posts. The bloke there said they had them without making sure first. He was wrong unfortunately.
