Hi Jimmy - as you know I have but I went the new outer window trim route.

I'd go have a look at either Spotlight and look for something similar in a material.

It's like a white shag small material.

Remove the existing bushes (both). - Use a hand held razor blade and maybe some turps to remove the glue.

Glue the new bushes to the plastic backing and let dry

Re-Install.

Both sides :) (bout 30mins effort)

Perhaps Supercheap or Bunnings may have something similar.

It's really just a 4-5mm bushy length and around 3cm x 1.5

Cheap as cheaps way to replace.

and remove and rinse every 3 months or so to stop the dust scratches re-occurring on the glass

(fairly certain you cant buy just that piece and clip in :( )

Edit: PS new external window trim farkers aren't cheap)

Hmm - might have been around $115 each I think when I bought mine. But postage is very exy due to length.

all air postage out of Japan is daylight robbery.....SAL less so and sea cheaper still.

Paid $90 bux freight recently for an RH9 alternator. Half the size of a shoe box !

Best idea is to compile a list and save for it all. Then buy and use Sea as delivery method (6-8weeks)

My issue is I cant wait so it goes DHL. RHD & Nengun are my favourite Jap shops.

Some costs - Rear window Trim (only) is $330. Qtr windows about $220 ea.

OEM Windscreen $1700, Dash $1100ish (NAL). OEM GTR Steering wheel around $1k deliverd. C-pillars $140ea

Very True indeed Kat - It is good checking Nissan spare parts first and they don't seem to fluctuate with exchange rates if the parts are in country.

My issue with calling them previously is there not real helpful and never call back. (but I don't have bewbs :/ ) They can be a lot more expensive too and sometimes cant get what you see on RHD/Nengun.

But now having an insider the service is brilliant :thumbsup:

Must admit I picked up mine even cheaper still off someone who bought new, with horn button, and didn't unpack it. Win

I actually lost my insider so I may hit you up at some point knowing that!! :D

I do buy most on RHD admittedly.

Floormats arrived for the GTR on Thurs, they're better than the looked in the pics. Now got to get them to carlovers or somewhere with a steam cleaner for some love!

Door trim (as in inner door card to be specific)

Yep, all of their stuff is NEW OEM :)

By door trim, I meant rubber strip for outside of window, confusing myself haha

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
