Any one have an idea how to adjust the window runners?

Before the respray my window lined up nicely and the rubber was fine, after it tends to dig in to the top back corner of the rubber, that + the age of the rubber obviously it ripped almost instantly.

I've had a little look but there doesn't 'appear' to be any available adjustments. ;)

The way it is now if I throw a new rubber in its only going to rip it again.

door trim off, feck around with (by memory) 4 adjusters down the bottom of the door....

will have a look at the service manual

just rang nissan, they confirmed $220.

What's availability like (as I am sick of looking at the tear in mine)? Be interesting to see if we can get them for less from Adeliade.

BTW, who is your "glass guy" that has/will replace your front/rear windscreen rubbers?

f**k me.. I've spent around 6 hours trying to get my passenger window aligned properly.. I knew there must be a specific trick to it!

<kisses>

p.s. on the front/back windscreens.. O'briens is a rippoff. . I was quoted $180 labour just to replace one measly seal! And that was before they even found out which seal it actually was...

Each I assume? Was that to completely remove and reseat them though? Someone else mentioned to me it cost them around the $200 mark, so it might not be completely off base.

Edit: Also, from farking around with the rear windscreen, I can say its not as easy as it looks to remove. There is an outer covering rubber, corner pieces, an inner hook plastic (that the outer rubber hooks in to), then the actual sealant the window sits on. Its stupidly complex.

they are available in aus right now. the glass dude is a guy that my panel beater uses. dont know the guys name but he comes to the shop and is apparently the guru on removing screens and doing seals etc.

I would pay $200 all up i guess if that included the seal, but not $200 just in labour.. It couldn't take more than an hour's work by a professional.

It's not too hard to remove the outer seal, just shove the car in the sun for an hour and its nice and soft. Then lever off the top metal joiner, and lever each half off by pulling. It comes apart in two pieces.

My car doesn't actually have any rear outer seal at the moment. It's still pretty water-tight, even without a seal. To be honest I think it's more of a cosmetic thing, as my window doesn't look like it will fall out anytime soon going 100+ km/hr

apparently the rear screen is very hard to do without farking the seal... ylwgtr2 told me seeing that he pulled out mine...

*shrugs*

Yup. The outer rubber on mine was hard as rock (parking in the sun didn't soften it one iota) so it breaks as you pull it out. Moreover the hook it connects too is easy to rip.

btw i should ad those photos i took were in the dark, half sloshed and with my mobile phone so not too bad overall!

AND

damn i cant wait to get my car back with nice new seals and everything on the car pretty much new.

bl4ck32, did you try adelaide nissan with those part numbers ronin09 posted up? would be great to check with those numbers. if they are $120 each i will grab a pair no question.

I got factory front windscreen rubbers for $150 from Nissan for the whole set including all bits and pieces. Rear set was $400 each so i didnt bother buying that. Might look into this commodore rubbers business.

ooooh ... cat might be out of the bag after this post ...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
