Hey guys,

The rubbers around both my front and rear windscreens have perished over the 13years my car has been alive. As far as I know, they are not leaking yet.

Does anyone know where I can go to get them replaced at a reasonable price?

Cheers for any help :P

...... LOL

If you do find someone, let me know. I need to replace all mine on the Ceffy and I'm thinking the stealership is the only option for such an uncommon import.

I imagine you'd have a better chance finding one with a windshield mob for an R33 since theyre about as common as slappers in Northbridge on a Saturday night.

Dealerships should be able to source them. They are a two piece mould, one part sticks to the body then a second piece clips in after the glass is fitted.

We can fit an aftermarket rubber mould but it will never be spot on and be aware that the glass will have to come out to do the job.

This means your windscreen will almost certainly break, requiring a new one, and although a good fitter will not break toughened rear glasses on removal, they have an "all care but no responsibilty" policy.

This moulding is however purely asthetic, the urethane is what seals the glass, so they can perish all they want and not affect the seal.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
