Righto so I've recently purchased new windscreen seal kits for the front and rear of my R32 GTR..

As most of you know buying this stuff from Nissan costs as much as a engine rebuild... (nearly :/)

What I want to know is who here has had them done by a workshop and were you happy with the quality of work that was done?

Ive used windscreens O'Brian before and I was slightly put off by a couple of things they did, but we wont talk about that here.

I don't want to be doing this job twice so any recommendations are appreciated

cheers

Ok Joe ......... It's your lucky day.

I used Manie's Mobile Windscreens 2 weeks ago and about 18 months ago and in both cases he was excellent.

I did the same thing, sourced the moulds and fasteners direct from Nissan and got Manual to fit them.

You should get change out of $400.00 for the lot but remember there is a bit of mucking around at the rear due to the wiper.

He comes to you as he is mobile.

He did/does work for Unique Auto Sports and Hills Motorsports to name a few Skyline oriented workshops.

He knows these cars very well and has been doing this work for 20+ years.

His mobile number is (0408) 255 548.

Cheers,

Bob.

Bob you are a legend!

I've actually had to cut the nut off the rear wiper as it was that rusted that I fear if I used a breaker bar I would break the glass :/

From memory that's cheaper then windscreens obrian

I'll give him a call when I get the parts in :)

Cool....... Have you ordered the parts?

If not I can give you the exact part numbers and pricing.

I bought the fasteners locally because the shipping was either too dear or too big but I got all the moulds from Amayama.

That’s amayama.com - good price and service.

I use jp-carparts.com to find the parts - Exploded views etc and then copy/paste into amayama.

Let me know if you need any help with the exact parts.

If you do you will need to tell me the exact date of your car build as they had some minor changes throughout the series.

Cheers,

Bob.

Thanks once again Bob, I've ordered the parts already through rhd Japan, I wanted to buy the outer weather sheild for both doors but they were ridiculously expensive so I've passed for the time being.

I will look at the site u have recommended.

Do you know if he does window tinting or glass chip repairs?

No........ Windscreens only.

I can't help with chip repairs but Tint on the Move is my tint guy.

Tints and removes tint which is what use him for.

Mobile too. Give him a call on (0430) 323 436

Tell him Bob with the Skylines in Castle Hill recommended you. Good guy with good work at a very fair price.

Bob.

  • 3 weeks later...

Gave him a quick call yesterday. Sounded like a really nice guy.

He quoted me around 350 for front and rear which is great as windscreens obrian wanted 220 for just the rear from memory.

And it's a mobile service! Will be using his services for

Sure!

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
