Anyone interested in heated front R33 screens?? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

I am wanting an electrically heated front screen for my race R33. I have found a supplier, but minimum quantity would be 10 units at 280 plus VAT each (cheaper than OE standard screens....). Any interest in these, there's a 2 month lead time.

standard screens are just over £200

there a good idea tho,

OK, thought they were dearer, I am fitting a weld in cage and gutting all the heating, so would really like a heated front screen, I can't be doing with Mastermist and trying to wipe a screen with a full harness on. Still very useful for a road car though, instant(ish) de icing and de misting

Useful in all sorts of situations I seem to recall from my youth...

Would wiring up the screens be straight forward?? I would assume they would have to be wired up through a relay at the very least?? I would be interested in buying one, if the wiring up of them is easy. Get a copy of the loom off you I suppose, Chris?? plug and play??.

They draw 30 amps, so hefty wiring and a relay. basic stuff though.

I'll be up for one. Wouldn't be a bad idea to supply a wiring loom with it. If someone can give me a schematic drawing of one, I'll make some up!!!!!!!!

Dino had this really cool impreza when i was in tokyo earlier inthe year. it had a heated screen were the current passed through were the window wipers rested, thus melting the snow when required.

really good idea
