R33 Sunroof

[newboost]

hey guys just a quick question

I have a r33 s2 4 door skyline and wanted to know if i could put a sunroof in from a r33 coupe. If so what mods do i have to do other that cutting the roof.

Mate, even tho there really "cool'' to have, installing them after the factory plays a big role in hurting the integrity of the complete car/chassis strength.

I think you're going to have a hard time fitting it. they bolt up around the sides, front and rear of the frame that the glass slides in. They bolt to the frames around the window/doors. im a bit doubtful you're going to have holes ready to go for this to support it as they're quite heavy you will need every support possible to keep it stable. Also you will not only need to cut a hole in the roof, but also make a frame around the hole for the glass to push up into and to give the roof skin some strength. They arnt water sealed against the roof, the water runs down past the glass, into the frame and on each corner is a rubber hose that leads down through the C pillar and A pillars and through the floor and onto the road.

tbh not worth butchering a car to put a sunroof in.

Fitting a factory sunroof is near impossible unless you replace the whole roof skin, as the sunroof frame bolts up to it, the integrity of the car is NOT hurt installing a sunroof, I'm a sunroof fitter by trade so obviously Im not going to post up saying they are dodgy, but if you don't really have a clue what's involved in fitting a sunroof and what else is required, your over opinionated and under informed. If you are keen on a sunroof look towards the aftermarket and find a reputable company which uses a quality brand and backs it with a warranty.

I belive an after market sunroof is the way. I Just cut out a brand new one from a mazda eunos i just sraped and i will be attempting to fit it into an r33 skyline, the only problem i found is the sunroof has a greater arch than the car roof only by 5-10mm but i am not convinced it can be put in this car. It looks like a hollandia 300 but has inalfa wiring. any experts know if i should worry about this gap or can the roof be made to fit.
