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.

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
