Sunroof + R34 ?

[Vik]

Hey guys, as stated, need to get some insight into getting a sunroof on my R34, not planned for anytime soon, probably when that yummy tax return comes in, and spend it inside of Australia then feeding the international market ( dont mind me i rant about economics all day )

Anyways,

Havent got a quote yet. But what do you reckon the price margin should be, and is it a worth while investment for those sunny days in summer, or seethrough rainy days like today -.-

cheers souljahZ !!

its the same as any other car buddy, but alot of ppl dont take kindly to it because it "weakens the structure"

but seeing as its a NA (nothing intended) i dont see why u cant have a awsome comfortable cruiser with a sun roof =D

but your looking anywhere from 2k for a basic job to about 8k for the ultimate package

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

go searching... there was a group buy style thread in genral discussion (i think) a year ago where some guys were getting them for just under a grand i think... they looked the goods too!

[Vik]

Wow serious?

Nice.. well im thinking of getting one done.

But right now its just asking around and scoping out all this info.

Well if they say it weakens the structure.. then i might give it a pass because i intend to turbo the car when i get my full licence.

So hmm..

Anyone on here who has a sunroof ?

I've got the factory electric sunroof on my 34...love it. With aftermarket ones unless you are planning on getting the electric ones, don't bother...the manual ones just look daggy. Personally if I were after one, might be a good idea to search wreckers for the factory one or yahoo auctions.

Tall? forget about it..

Might as well find a smashed R34 and just take its original parts as it will be alot easier, all the buttons and roof trims are different.

I wouldnt mind a sun roof would allow me to get a tan on both arms lol

[Yo-Yo]

My R34 came with a factory fitted sunroof, If you're anything taller than say 5"9 your head will probably scrape the roofline

I wouldn't get an aftermarket one,

I work for a dealership and one of the aftermarket girls I talk to say every now and then a customer will come back with problems with sunroofs, and they supply a few different makers so it's not like it's just the one brand.

As far as the factory fitted sunroof, I've driven non sunroof r34 GT-t's and there's no noticeable difference in structural rigidity while driving or doing power slides

[Gts-t]

Adding a sunroof would add to the rigidity, any creasing in the panel work does this. It would have more strength there than in a model with no sunroof.

However the sunroof would have a higher CoG obviously.

I miss my sunroof

factory roof

*chills..*

Webasto are good and i pretty sure they start at $1000. They take only one day to install too.

[Vik]

Yeah, they arent that expensive.

Got a factory sunroof on my 34...

Its a nice touch and i cant see how anyone wouldnt like it!

But like everyone else has said if your tall (ie 5' 11" +) then dont bother unless you like having your head tilted to the side when you drive.

also lets not forget having a sunroof adds 10kw

I wouldn't really worry about it weakening the structure...do you plan on rolling your car?? I made sure my 33 i was buying had a factory sunroof so i didn't have to worry about installing one.

[ninepond]

I got one on my R34, the factory fitted sunroof is fantastic. it can be both sunroof and moonroof. There are two switch next to reading light on the car's roof. One is used for lift the back mirror seems like moonroof. Another switch is used to slide mirror to the back. Try to find second hand one is the best optin for me.

[Nisswreck]

we have genuine nissan r33 and r34 sunroofs instock

[Vik]

How hard would it be to get a stock R34 Sunroof onto my R34. would a normal sunroof installer do it ?
