Well I got the sedan installed with the goodies .. clear side indicators, intense white light bulbs and grounding kit

... pulled the car out of the driveway to test drive and suddenly saw this crack running down from the middle top of the windscreen down like 10cm and then going left and right ..

how did this happen? only movement i made on the car is jacking it up on the front so that i could connect the grounding wire to the tranny.

anyway, now i need some help to source for a V35 sedan .. i'm in Vic

Thanks

*sigh .. not looking forward to the cost ..

or you could get a replacement via Yahoo Auctions.

Being in Vic, you could use Import Monster and pick it up from their warehouse (if via sea) or have it delivered to your door (via air).

Should between $600-$850 if you can wait for the sea container and pick it up from Bayswater.

ok, I've got it all sorted out today, and I'm relieved that it did not cost as much as I thought it would. Was pointed out a small chip where the crack started.

And here's what i've found out for replacing a v35 sedan windscreen in vic so that it could be knowledge for all here ...

o'brien -

they have only 8pces of v35 sedan windscreens in australia and they're in their warehouse in sydney.

would take a couple of days to arrive in melb and it would cost $406 installed

National Windscreen -

can't find aftermarket windscreen for the sedan, would have to order a orginal nissan part

RACV -

quoted $375 if you're their member, $423 if non-member.

said that it is cheaper for coups as windscreens for them are readily available.

Auto Glass Vic -

$265 installed and can do it the next day.

Roy's windscreen -

i went ahead with them as they can get the glass in a couple of hours and have it fitted today for $280.

Call 0417 323115 and they're in Dandenong.

Had a small drama when they found the label on the winscreen saying its for a coup but the supplier assured it is for sedan. And yes it all worked out well.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
