Someone I know got frustrated with my P plate falling down off my windscreen, and attempted to force it to stay up but smacked my windscreen with there knuckles, now I have a huge crack that starts in my passenger side top (where the P plate sits) down to my rego label (Bottom passenger side)

Can't be fixed as it's a 'spider web crack' not a chip. Is slowly getting larger. Been told it'll take 7-14 days to get one in Bendigo as they don't keep them on hand (unlike the commo's and falcons)

Question is:

1) does any one know someone good and cheapish in the western suburbs (pref St Albans/Sunshine/Cairlea ect) that I can get it done at?

2)Will an R34 take another windscreen? I've heard they'll take a Ford Falcon windscreen...true/false?

Cheers

Shape is different to fords so don't know how they can fit. Also if I'm correct the r34 has the antenna for the radio in the windscreen. So it will cost about $400? Call some wreckers

I believe the R34 has it's antenna is in the rear windscreen :P

As for replacement, I've gotten mine done in Dandenong, Roy's Windscreen I think, it cost me $220 and it took them less than 30mins.

I wouldnt be going to O briens unless every other windscreen place in australia had shut down.. the prices they charge should come with a complimentary BJ.. they don't even supply lube for their butt hurt prices

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
