JSpecDirect Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 If anyone can help. I need to know the part number a windshield for an R33 skyline (2 door). I live in the states and have an R33. the windshield was cracked when i recieved the car. Will a mid 90's Q45 windshield work, or possibly one from a J-30? Thanks!

The chances are slim that the windshield from those other cars will fit. I had a quick look in FAST and there are a number of alternative PN's for the windshield depending on the year of manufacture of your car. Post up the VIN of your car and we should be able to identify the correct PN.

JSpecDirect Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Thanks. The "vin" on the bulkhead says "HR33-015960". I work for Infiniti and also own www.j-specdirect.com. Neither have been much help to me with this situation! Hopefully this is the right number. This car origionally was an RB20E model, we did an RB25DET conversion (minus the hubs).

Thanks for yoru help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't be able to do anything until I'm back at work on Monday (Sunday your time, I think). The genuine part is likely to be pretty expensive unless there's a local (US) equivalent. Another possibility is to contact an Australian parts supplier who might be able to help, example: www.justjap.com www.japanesemotorsport.com.au Cheers PS Don't have any VQ45DE's lying around ??

Jordan Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I got my R33 windscreen from Koala Glass, cost me about AUD$170 fitted. Try somewhere local and see, I know I was surprised.

JSpecDirect Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 STEVEL--- I'd gladly work a trade on some VQ45DE's for a few RB30E's. I've built one RB30DETT so far, and it was just crazy! I'd love to have a few more. I can get VH45DE (90-93) for about $1400.00 US runnings, and $700.00 US core, 94'-96' VH45DE for $1400.00 US running, $900.00 core and the new (2002-later) VK45DE running $3600.00. I might have one that smokes (ITB01-070) that just needs some new rings (failed oil consumption test, but compression is top notch). Brand new VK45DE is $7500.00 US from the dealer. Anyway, doubt you needed all that info, just figured I'd say it all at once. Thanks for helping me with this windshield problem!

JSpecDirect Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Woops! I meant RB30E. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66366-need-part-number-for-windshield/#findComment-1237870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 HR33-015960 That VIN is not recognised by FAST. Check the blue ID plate attached to the firewall. I suspect the actual VIN number is: ECR33-015960 Certainly that is recognised by FAST and it gives the following PN for the front windshield glass: 72712-22U10 (for a 8/93-1/95 R33 GTS25t Type M coupe) BUT you really need to double check the VIN.

ylwgtr2 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 i think his car will be HR33 as its was a non turbo 2 ltr H designates the engine used Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66366-need-part-number-for-windshield/#findComment-1239874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 i think his car will be HR33 as its was a non turbo 2 ltr H designates the engine used Yeh, that plus the fact that he says it was originally RB20DE powered, but now has an RB25DET installed :Oops: Anyway, that VIN isn't recognised by my version of FAST. But I suspect coupe windshields will be the same regardless of engine, and the same would be true for sedans.

JSpecDirect Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yep, I checked my FAST system, and sure enough, that part # is good, though it superceeds to a 72712-24U00. It doesnt show for any vehicle here, though its only one letter off from another vehicle. It also measures remarkably close to the windshield in the new Pontiac GTO....I believe you guys call them a Holden. Anyway, I'd gladly buy one from you, if your willing to ship several thousand miles. Oh, and I pay with bank checks for anything overseas, so no worries about a canceled credit card order. If you could help me, I'd be appreciative! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66366-need-part-number-for-windshield/#findComment-1240274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I'm scratching my head as to why you didn't look it up yourself since you have access to FAST :confused: Anyway, why not just order the windshield through a Nissan dealer ??

JSpecDirect Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Anyway, why not just order the windshield through a Nissan dealer ?? Unfortunately, here in the states, they are strict about autoparts from other countries. I mean, yes, we can get used parts in under the assumption that they will be used for "race and off road use", but nothing new unless you have buddies outside the country. I couldnt look up my VIN either, as Nissan USA has only the models avaiable here....though it did recognize the part number when I did a part# search. As for ordering it, the local Nissan dealer (or any dealer here for that matter) cant order something if they dont have it available on an american model. Yeap, we can see the part#, but thats it....no parts illistrations, no price lists, nothing. Without that, all the places I've found wont let you order it. Infiniti, has Infininet, which uses an AS400 system. So even though it shows the "order quantity" icon on FAST, we cant use it, as it is not linked to the Infininet, therefore making it an unrecognized part number. Land of the FREE, remember that....till you need one stinkin part and you cant get it! LOL Anyway, thanks for all your help!

JSpecDirect Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I didnt put this, but it should be said. People CAN bring in new parts from other countries, but noone out there seems to want to ship. Its just tough getting stuff here. Anyway, thanks gang!

SteveL Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I understand your problem, but as a private individual I'm not 'set up' for doing this sort of thing. I'd suggest getting in touch with some of the Oz parts importers, I'm sure that you'll find one that's going to be able to help: www.justjap.com www.japanesemotorsport.com.au www.nismo.com.au Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66366-need-part-number-for-windshield/#findComment-1245467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope!Sedans have a diffrent screen....i know this coz i have put 4 door fronts on 2 doors before and i cant use the A pillars because of this reason.....they splay out wider on the top and are about 100mm taller Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66366-need-part-number-for-windshield/#findComment-1247073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
