Summary of the story above: you may not need a new motor.

I haven't read all of the posts above, but I thought I'd share my experience: the window motor stopped working too. First it was half working, then completely stopped putting the window down. Went to Nissan who stated I require the whole motor to be completely replaced. They quoted over $1k for the job. After speaking to an electrician, I was informed that the motor inside just likely needs a bit of cleaning. There are plenty of instructions that can be found online on how to get to the motor. When you disassembly the motor, you may realise that it consists of moving parts that just get worn out and need cleaning for better contact (research a little about how a motor operates if in doubt). After a good clean of the coils etc, it works great so far.

Considering going to this as well.

AU Ford Falcons(or derivative) have this problem: the light bulb attachment melts. Maybe the same occurred in yours, but I assume you have checked...

The Kit I have is the Bosch from the group buy. As I said, I am in no rush and more than happy to wait for an actuator and the next time that you will come down here (presumably gone by the time actuator would arrive and assuming both instances will occur within this year).

Looks like I have missed Chris for any time soon for lights conversion. Tried Just Jap - apparently they don't do it... Doesn't make sense as they get cars complied.... Anyone know any other places around Sydney? Local electrician, that no one has been to, is not an option - ones I tried didn't have a clue that you had to either take off the bumper or access from underneath. That is worrying to me.

Chris, you should seriously move to Sydney... We so need you here more!

Yeah, there is a whole thread on V35 sub forum about that place - many positive experiences.

Anyone know of a place that can install the lights for me in Sydney. I prob can do it myself, but I rather not risk it never having it done before, lol.

Any recommendations where to get one installed in Sydney?

OUch... Bummer that no one else wrote down his details and gave them to you either

Just don't try to get an alarm installed there, lol.

Does anyone know if he is open on Saturday? Bit late to call and I am too eager to find out... haha

Just been to Tempe. They discovered a cracked rim - $100 to fix. Problem was only that it cracked in the place where it cracked before and my Saturday got ruined by a huge bill or replacing the rim and the tyre (tyre had a gash big enough to see the inside casing).

It was an awesome day. Too bad I lost everyone after dinner...

I am so glad it is a 4pm start... (just woke up) hehe. I should make it.

I am planning to come to this.

I see a few V35s a week going to Epping from city. No one seems to wave these days... In the beginning, everyone waved at each other.

I should make it.

I think they are fine. I am not a person who would pay the annual fee associated with the personalised plate, but if I would see it on a V35, i would think the plates would be worth something.

I've just been told they need replacing and wanted to source them myself. Does anyone know the part number for them and the best ones to get and where? Thank you in advance

Interested in the terms of the contract he signed. I am sure there is an arguable case to get money back.

Can you pm me how much the door lock motor is? Is that the only thing to change? Do you happen to know anyone in Sydney that can do it for a good price?

Which means to replace it right? Expensive exercise?

I have a little problem since yesterday: When I press unlock, only my passenger door unlocks and the driver's door unlocks when I press then second time. The same happens when I try to lock the car: first the passenger locks and then the driver's locks (and the mirrors fold at the same time, so it knows the car wasn't locked the first time). Does anyone know what the problem might be? I am suspecting poor electrical connection? It is a 2003 Coupe.
