R32 Front Windscreens

[R32 GTS4 4DOOR]

Hi guys and girls,

Just wanted to let everyone know how difficult it is to source a new front windscreen for a R32 Sedan. The GTR and GTS-T Coupe's windscreens are apparently 50mm or so to short according to O'Brians Glass.

On 1 March I was driving up Nicolson Road in Harrisdale doing the speed limit of 80km/h with a SS VT Commodore supporting a yellow sticker and no number plates tailgating me. He was pushing me to go faster in a hope he could get a race or some reaction. Anyway, i took no notice of him, he overtook in anger and as he swerved to get back into the lane just before a truck with two trailers came barreling past he flicked a stone up at my windscreen. I could not report this as I have no details on the car and couldn't see the driver cause it have 5% Tint on all windows plus the cops wouldn't care anyway.

Now they have apparnetly sourced a new windscreen from sydney, but it is not fitted with the radio aerial in it. Not terrably happy with this, but i dont have alot of choices. Will sort the aerial problem out another time. Lucky my insurer Shannons has free windscreen replacement cover.

Was everyone aware that the radios aerial is run in the windscreen glass??

Hope everyone else doesn't need a new windscreen anytime soon whether it be a sedan or coupe, im sure there won't be many around in Japan anymore after the devastating earthquakes they have had.

all r32 run the antenna (FM) in the front window. what you have is a non-gen one.

If it was me i would be ringing obrian (if not istalled yet) and telling them to get a gen one or shannons (if installed) and telling them that they installed the wrong one as it has no atenna and to get them install a correct one.

As far as i am aware they are all the same size window (haapy to be proven wrong) but it sounds as if they just went the non-gen option.
