HI,

What bad luck. I was driving to hervey bay yesterday and I was travelling on a single lane, 2 way road. Then I saw a golf ball size rock flew towards me from the oncoming car. Hit my windscreen, and cracked it in my lower field of vision. The crack was about the size of 10 cent coin, but there are 4 hair line which stretches to a 50 cent coin size. I don't think it's recommended for repair, and I'm wondering is it easy to get a replacement windscreen? Will it cost much?

For some reason sedan screens are available in Australia but coupe ones may prove a bit harder to source. Thats why I took out the windscreen option on my car insurance. Check your policy but if not covered be aware of the difference in size of sedan and coupe screens. At least one forum member has been caught out by repairers who ordered the wrong part and had already popped the old sceen out only to find the replacement didnt fit!

Lucky for me, my insurance do cover the windscreen. But the policy only cover a max of $700 for the windscreen. I really hope this is enough.

I'd be shopping around then and get a few quotes. If all else fails you can get some good 2nd hand glass from crash damaged cars at wreckers. I do remember last year one in sydney with lots of ok bits. Cant remember if front screen ok or not. I found it with a google search.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Had the same problem. Funny thing $700 should be enough.

I got mine fixed the next day at Morayfield Discount Autoglass: 07 5428 3377.

Unit 3, 125 Morayfield Road, Caboolture South, QLD, 4510.

Cost me $661 inc GST.

Hope that helps. PS, this was for a 2003 V35 Coupe.

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)

      Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.

      A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new

      Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
