Hi Guys

The other day my car (1998 40th Ann R33 GTS-t) was vandalised at a train station. Somebody ripped off my side window rain and wind deflector, half of it was still attached. By doing this they also damaged my door seals. It took me two days to clean up the mess. It looks ok now but you can now see my damaged seals and im afraid if it rains it might leak inside the car. So im after a new side mirror wind and rain deflector where would be a good place for me to get another one for my Skyline.....wreckers maybe. I ve been told by a mate to actually try nissan dealers as they might be able to get me the part brand new.

Cheers Guys

Sounds like they were trying to break in (Rip of the window deflector, Coat hanger down through the seals to the passenger door unlock switch, did it myself to my 33GTST, took about 20 seconds).

You got an immobilizer/alarm installed... right? ....right? :S

Nissan dealers/Import wreckers would be my bet.

"Sounds like they were trying to break in (Rip of the window deflector, Coat hanger down through the seals to the passenger door unlock switch, did it myself to my 33GTST, took about 20 seconds)"

Thats was my first guess, i always park my car right under the camera so i think they didnt notice the camera at first once they did they buggered off.

Sure Do :thumbsup: so its not like they could take my car anywhere, they were after all my stuff inside the car coins magazines hoodie and cd's etc, so its kinda my fault for leaving all that stuff inside. As we speak my car has nothing in it absolutelly nothing (even the cd player has been de tached and is sitting at home) the only thing they could steal is my fluffy dice lol

Looks like you take care of your wheels mate.

So as a temp. measure, buy some "Dynagrip" 'Weatherstrip and Trim Adhesive' to repair the rubber &/or help the seal to stay put/adhere to the door and sill; till you get your replacement.

+1 for above advice from other guys and don't forget SAU Wtb.

Sympathise with you. I put in a thread in Cosmetic etc etc, about Caution of Where To Park Your Car early this month. Bloody fits your situation eh?

Regards, T

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
