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. :)

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

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.

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

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.

whats the word about clark rubber and their door seals? I'll probably drop by tomorrow to clarky and have a look.

I get wind noises coming from both doors at speeds over 60km~, its annoying and loud :cheers:

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

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
