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.

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:

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 )

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
