the black dotted strip is there to hide the glue that holds the screen on. The button you are referring to is for de-icing the wiper blades, which isn't really an issue here in Orstraylia so I wouldn't worry about it. It operates the same way the rear window demister does, (the heating element IS under the black strip tho) so getting it working on a new screen shouldn't be that big an issue, but I wouldn't bother myself...`

I am pretty sure you can buy the heating elements at Repco / supercheap etc and then it would just be a case of connecting it back to the switch.

Some stageas including mine,(referred to as 'cold area' in Nissan FAST, probably those sold north of Tokyo) have heater strips at bottom of windscreen to prevent the wipers icing to the windscreen (also heated side mirrors and possibly larger battery for cranking), not sure if the heater strips are part of the glass or behind it. Operated by the switch shown in photo.

Ahhhhhhh ok, I was kind of on the right track the :laugh: I only made the assumption based on the pics in the green stagea manual (in Japanese) that came with the car :D I couldn't care less about that though so I'll just get aftermarket glass fitted.

hmm... just got a stone chip on mine today. :) Lucky my insurance comes with 1 free windscreen replacement a year.

hi guys, just read this, you must be the luckiest lot around, for a 33gtr windscreen fitted in the uk its 2500dollars or 1000 ukpounds at nissan, cheapest is about 600uk pounds, could do with you guys sending a couple of hundred over..bernie

Contact Steve from RMA imports. He got me one for $165.00

I must also recomend these guys. I've been putting mine off (and its pretty bad) because of cost etc.... Called them up this morning and is getting me a brand screen for $275 will be picking it up on saturday. Anyone know how much fitting is roughly alone???

Nah to the right of the ignition key barrel. I wasn't sure what it did, the only reason I thought it was something to do with the windscreen was from reading the factory japanese manual I have and going by the pics :blink: And yes I know the a/c heated air is to demist.

EDIT: realised answered above

Ok well after a fair bit of a stuff around I am now going with Novus who are coming to my work tomorrow to supply and fit the windscreen for me. Has quoted $325 supplied and fitted which I think is amazing. I will post again tomorrow just to confirm thats what it actually cost when the jobs done. If you compare that price with my last quote posted above which was for the screen alone I think I know which ones the better deal so as long as they turn up I'll be happy. Sorry to say but for anyone else looking to replace a windscreen (in Brisbane at least) I would say to go to Novus instead of the other. Won't post it up here but PM me if you want the details.

Will let all know tomorrow how it goes. Sure beats the quotes I was getting last year when it first happened. :thumbsup:

o'briens came to the spraypainters where i had the car,(stonechips) the day after i enquired, fitted the screen(i only dealt with them over the phone), shannons paid approx $275, was very happy with the service.

Your kidding right. They were the first guys I tried last year and the price they quoted me was about 3 times that. Well it got fitted today anyway. Very friendly service and did a great job. Would recomend them again for sure (Novus that is :D )

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
