Hey,

Thinkin about gettin a sunroof installed in my r33.

I particularly like the ones that open under the roof like the factory nissan sunroof. had a bit of a search on the net and found this.

what do you guys think? worth getting an aftermarket sunroof? are they generally better/worse than factory? It'd be brand new as opposed to ~10 years old from factory so I guess thats a plus for aftermarket.

I heard they go for around $2k? I'm still a long way off from that so it'd take quite a bit of saving.

Thanks

Personally I'd just buy one with a sunroof already in it, but that's just me, I don't like the idea of cutting up the car like that, hence why I waited till I found what I wanted in a car including the sunroof :cheers:

so true.

because the r34 was my 1st car there were so many things i should have noticed but didnt. the sunroof being one of them.

im defiently getting a sunroof in the next car. or i just might get one installed into this one

I regret not buying car with sunroof :D

reading some sites which install sunroof's:

http://www.webasto.com.au/am/en/am_auto_sunroofs_3360.html

Are sunroofs installed after purchase the same quality as factory installed sunroofs?

Yes, if not better . Certified installers are meticulous about quality and finish. See your local Webasto certified sunroof professional.

Are sunroofs safe?

Yes, the surface area of the sunroof to the roof skin has more coverage than normal roof braces.

I'm yet to hear of a decent aftermarket sunroof install...

they all leak as far as I've heard... but please prove me wrong, it will come down to the installer and the hardware, curviture of the roof and size of the actual sunroof...

Most cars with sun roofs as options come from the factory without one, then when you order it the manufacturer sends it away and gets it installed. Someone does it for them, but I cant remember who it is. The best in the Country. The job is as good as OEM, because it is pretty much!!

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
