Long story short, wasnt paying attention in car park - looking at reverse camera and not out the windows. Happened at Westmead Childrens carpark on split lvl.

so will cost me roughly $1515.80 to fix where my insuarance will only cover $1000 and I have to foot the rest. Currently no wreckers have stagea rear windows.

Is this normal price coming from nissan brand new including install. 6-8 week leadtime.

Dont really want to spend the coin, Insurance company allows one free glass replacement a year capped at $1K

Going thru insurance preferred agent, apparently none in sydney wreckers. Im told.

Unlesss someone has one in Sydney - I'll call around just to make sure there is none before i order off nissan.

It's almost as if you didn't read that Scotty has one that you can buy for a shiteload less than buying through Nissan?

I bet you could have it shipped from Melbourne to Ryde pretty easily too.

Why do people want to do things the hard way?

If you've got $1K of insurance money to spend, I'll personally drive one to your door, lol.

thanks guys for your response, problem with shipping glass / fragile item is that most normal transport company wont gurantee insure it unless you use a company that specialise in fine arts ( apparently ) I have used something similar for transporting Servers and they arnt cheap.

BTW - I did give Scotty a call.

The thought of driving to Melb myself did cross my mind, but im dealing with the insurance preferred agent. This is the first accident i have had in 15 years ( 10yrs in R33 and 4yrs in M35 )

I could have met you at the border and done the dodgy deal in a truck stop. lol.

With enough bubble wrap or blankets I am sure it would have made it fine. This way you would have got the whole window in the frame with switch, hinges etc, not just the glass.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
