Hey

Im stripping my car back atm to get it painted in a few months time. I just pulled the door seals off, where the window seals onto when the door is shut with the window up, and also the seal around the door the seals in the door jam and goes up around as high as the mirror.

Also my windscreen and rear window and rear quatar glass seals are all in not the best nick. Just wondering what you guys have done when painting your cars. I do not want to remove the rear 1/4 windows, but is it mandatory to get the rear quater seals off? Sorry I dont have any pics atm but ill get some up.

I got a quote from nissan on the seals around the windows and they want around $550 one side and $720 the other side. I found them on import monster last week for $300 plus fees, commision and freight, so around $550 delivered... still VERY EXY.

Any cheap ways out or anything that might help?

I cant help but I can rule out most places here in Mackay. Someone with a maroon 32 searched for the same seals at several places and found nothing... except at nissan for around the prices you said

I can double check but pretty sure ringing around Brisbane or somewhere might be a better option... Have you tried Nizwreck or something for some decent second hand ones? They seem to be a pretty rare part... if only there was somehting like rarespares that catered to import nissans etc

Yeah slack for second hand ones, I think they're all just as bad as eatchother because just having the doors shut and the windows pushing in seals flattens it out over the years... New seals would make it look nice with fresh paint

yeh ive seen them a bit wrecked around the mirror and water leaks in behind them and rusts away the little part that supports the mirror, I checked mine on the 33 when i had the side mirror off once and it looks good so maybe its only a problem with the 32's?

Id suggest looking down south, hopefully someone on here has found some cheap cause they are a fair rip off from nissan

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
