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.

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! :P 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:

Cheers

PS Don't have any VQ45DE's lying around ?? :)

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!

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.

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.

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. :rofl: 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!

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 ??

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!

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:

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

I meant that 2-door windscreens would be the same regardless of engine, and the same would be true for sedans (ie all sedan windscreens are likely the same). I didn't mean that 2-door windscreens were the same as sedan windscreens.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
