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.

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

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
