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 ...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
