Hey SAU team, 

Does anyone have complete Sunroof kit from a R33 GTST Skyline? 

Even if the Glass is broken as I have the Glass in tact, see photos.  

Or can you or someone you know repair the one I have. 

One of the struts is bent and there is a Fibreglass section around the glass, like a seal that has been shattered (see photo, not the best photo but hope you get the idea) all after our Car was broken into. 

So either a complete Kit including seals & firebeglass surround, or someone who can fix what we have and new rubber seals also, would be amazing. 

Or worst case, we will have to replace it with a sliding Sunroof or something that can be built custom to suit the hole but cost effective. 

If anyone knows a Sunroof Guru that is good but cost effective? 

Would love to hear some solutions. 

Thanks heaps team!!! 

We r in Melbourne. 

🚘 👍🇦🇺

Your best bet is to go a quality aftermarket sunroof or if you have heaps of money Nissan still make most parts I believe https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/ecr33/3915-rb25det/body/736/

Is it possible to (not in a money-no-object sense) to get an aftermarket sunroof to fit the stock cut-out? I do wonder because I've been dealing with sunroof trauma for about 9 months now on my R34 and have always seen the aftermarket ones advertised. It would be great to get an aftermarket system that retains the stock glass. 

On a side-note, some of the sunroof parts from Nissan are discontinued. I've occasionally seen R33 sunroof assemblies floating around international auctions whilst on my hunt for an R34 one.

I'll keep my eye out for your R34 if you can do the same for my R33?

Haha sure. One of the guys here pointed out a complete 34 assembly in Aus but shipping was outrageous. So for me it has to be in Europe or Japan.

FYI, there is an HCR33 sunroof for sale on yahoo auction for 10,000 yen:

Would be easy to find one that fits, not sure why you would want to find one that retains the factory glass. 

I think most of the major parts are available from nissan at retarded prices.

I’ve seen those for sale over here too. The thing is, I don’t particularly like the idea of some guy I can barely communicate with cutting up the roof panel. So I should rephrase my question to: is there an option to fit a third party sunroof in the factory sunroof-spec roof panel without cutting up the OEM roof panel?

Yep, OEM prices for sunroof components are at dumb prices. >20k yen for one of the pulley wires.

It’s possible a factory 25yr old sunroof is better than a post-break-in damaged sunroof assembly. I’d go for it provided the local hoarders don’t bid into the extremes for it.

I would ask the question....is it possible to fix the roof with some steel to replace the bloody stupid glass that someone** jammed in there mistakenly thinking it was a good thing?

**Yes. I'm including Nissan.

Yeah, I've thought about this too. For me, this would be a back-in-the-UK kinda thing as I have the issue that basically no one has that they can't properly converse with body shops and subsequently be able to trust them.

I do like the extra light that comes through from having a 20-odd kg scrap assembly at the highest point of the car though. 😒

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
