driving to work yesterday and went to put the drivers window up and it just didn't want to go. this has happened a bit lately and normally i just hit the door trim and it goes up. this time, though, it didn't. i've removed the trim and tried to help it up. put a bit of wd40 on the tracks but still no. when i push the button for it to go up, the regulator ticks but nothing happens. is it common for r33 s1 regulators to go or even the motor? got quoted $120 for the regulator and $295 for the motor assembly. was expecting about $50 for the regulator. anyone got one for sale? what do you think i should do?

Might be worth pulling it apart. Does the window go down still?

My passenger window would go up but not down, but the drivers side controls worked fine with it. I opened up the switch and the contacts just needed cleaning. I'm pretty sure they run a fair bit of current through them so they tend to arc and corrode over.

I had a similar problem with mine, hit the regulator and it went up. I pulled it apart, checked out the circuit baord and sure enough there were dry soldered joints. Have a look over the circuit board, you will see terminals coming through it that the solder has let go of. There will be a ring around the terminal where the solder isnt touching. Get a small soldering iron, put a drop of solder on it and all is good. Let me know how you get on.

ken, you are the man.

you just saved me between $120 and $160 for a 2nd hand one. that was the problem exactly. the hardest part was pulling it apart. took me about 5 mins all up to fix, and that included warming up the soldering iron. very easy to do. should've taken photos and turned it in to a tutorial. sounds like a common problem. thanks heaps for the help mate

No sweat, glad to help out.

on my s2 96 gts4 my drivers window is a bit wobbly but it goes up and down okay. however, on the passenger side it goes down ok but struggles on its way up it also makes a slightly louder noise? any suggestions what it could be

Same deal by the sounds.

Myself and a mate worked on his 32 with the same problem...open up the circuit board, find the related areas to the window respectively, and check for corrosion and rust. If so, cut it off, burn up some new solder and drip her on. Make sure there is oodles of power going to it aswell. if these things are ok, theyll shoot up and down in a jiffy.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
