Hey guys and girls just wanted opinions, wanted to put a sunroof in my car as the bonnet flipped up a couple years ago and damaged the roof. Got a 4 door sunroof roof cut so thought it would look the part, its a maroon r33 ill post some pics of the roof. Now is it worth it or should i just not bother. The current roof on my car is pretty warped and flexes with the bass from the sub thanks.

Bass flex will still happen unless you use a dynamat for roofs !! It makes it cooler too

i hate my sunroof it takes 30 mm out of non existant headroom and most of the time it too bright to open most of the time , ,I had mine dark tinted and black suede on the roof which looks odd at first inside but much nicer them crap grey

They say the tint will shatter the glass from excess heat , ive had it on for 5 years no issues and my past rx7 glass roof for 11 years never shattered from the heat retention and cools the inside a tad

If your ok on headroom and a quality body shop can do it safely it might be the go? The switch curcuit is a simple one

ill ask them if they can install dyna mat, is it that much, less head room than the non sunroof.

i will definatly be getting a darker lining looks much nicer and doesnt get as dirty cheers troy.

On my r34 the book shows 30mm less headroom

And i can confirm that ( my head is flat on top now haha)

Best of luck its a love /hate relationship

Its great on night runs on nice nights or to vent farts lol

The dynamat is the bonnet foam type not tar based kind

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
