Hey Guys,

some idiot tried to steal my car the other day.

screw drivered the passenger side door lock, but couldn't get it opened,

he then tried to enter the car by breaking the rear 1/4 window :D

so now that my lock is stuffed, does anyone know if the rear door handles from a S2 Sedan would fit my S2 Coupe?

there's no key holes in them, so i'm wondering if that would work to stop idiots screw driving my door locks . .

and also, the rear 1/4 glass - anyone replaced one?

do i need a special glue or is it a unscrew the glass & bracket, reinstall and done?

any help appreciated, thanks guys

I did this in my Integra Type R. Looks amazing with no locks and was a straight swap.

Have been meaning to do it to my 33 too.. but just havnt got around to it. Itl be a case of... doing it when its too late already.

From memory i think the rear handles are the same shape as the fronts.

Just Found this,

Its a HUGE picture, so if you zoom in you can clearly see the handles are the exact same shape. So in theory they would bolt up.

Go to a wrecker and ask them to grab one of each and compare the mounting points and where the rods attatch. Better than pulling it apart and finding out the hard way :D

Kudos to whoever owns this.. dam fine looking 4door!

I was just about to say.. had the battery die in my old VN with no door locks and my girlfriend's Datsun 1200, and both times I've ended up having to crawl underneath the car with jumper leads and nearly electrocute myself to put them on to give it enough juice to unlock.

I'd love to put in sirens loud enough to nauseate and deafen would be offenders, but I have a club lock on teh steering wheel anyway just so they know it will be harder to make off with, and only have a cruddy looking cd player.

I recently had a guy from Novis remove all of the fixed glass from a R33 shell.

The side windows are glued in the same way as a windscreen with a few plastic lugs in the window that locate it in the shell. New rear side windows cost more than $500 each from Nissan and good second hand ones are hard to come by. They must be removed correctly to be able to be used again.

Check with some of the wreckers on the forum to see if they have any - and I would have it professionally fitted to ensure that it does not leak in the future.

bad news for the glass then huh dammit . .

yea, i'll be quite stoked if the sedan door handles work in my coupe!

especially if the colours match up (silver facelift coupe / silver facelift sedan)

here's hoping!

Dont worry about the battery dying. You have two remotes :)

It hardly ever happens unless your really forgetful. And if it does, call your friend/mom/girlfriend and get her to brin the spare.

And if your really clever, call her on your cellphone. Put your cellphone close as you can to where the alarm module is mounted and get her to press the unlock button into the Mic of her cellphone.

Sounds silly? Try it :)

EDIT: I just clicked.. car battery not remote battery... ahaha. Yeah i guess the car battery dying would be a pain. But calling an auto locksmith isnt that bad. They get in in a few seconds without doing any damage. And you can always hook the bonnet release wire and pop the bonnet. (Mate locked his keys in the car with it running... epic LOL)

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
