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

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

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

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 :D

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.

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
