I had a problem with the rear passenger door glass hitting the hard rubber surround along the top edge whenever I shut the door with the window up.

This would always cause an air leak sound even at low speeds. So I had to lower then raise the window everytime the door was opened.

Stagea, in their infinite wisdom, put in adjustment screws to help with this problem and the following was my attempt to fix the glass level.

Screwdriver shows where to prize off the door handle plastic surround - On the top front edge.

Picture of the back of the plastic surround shows the single clip.

Underneath is the mounting screw for the panel. 10mm socket works easier than the phillips screwdriver. The rest of the panel comes off by simply pulling around the edges to release the clips. A short, sharp yank with your finger tips is all that is required. See pictue below for where the mounting holes are situated.

Be sure to disconnect the electrics - a small screwdriver is needed to release clip, then slide out.

All off and admiring the view. Plastic weather protection will need to be removed along the top edge to get at the level adjustors. Pull gently on the plastic without stretching it out of shape and it will stick back into place.

If you look carefully, you'll be able to see the holes where the plastic mounting clips go - so you'll know where to pull on the door trim. Check out the quality of those speakers - the factory must have spent a whole $5 on those babies! And $1 on the foam.

This picture shows the level adjustors with increments. You can see by the worn ring mark in the paint where it used to be and how far I had to drop the glass. There are two adjustors - one for the front edge and one for the rear. I only needed to adjust the rear to fix my problem.

This picture shows the little cloth pads that the glass runs against when moving up and down.

They can also be adjusted to change the angle of the glass on the 'in and out' plane - if that makes any sense. I believe they need to be left with a reasonable amount of play in them as the window changes angle as if feeds up and down. Keep these clean or you will scratch the glass.

The best position to have the glass is where it will just pop under the edge of the hard plastic surround on the body without getting caught on it.

I hope this help you enjoy noiseless motoring and to avoid breaking something unnecessarily.

Happy tinkering,

Warren

Beatuful, GREAT writeup! This might get lost in the Stagea section, so you might want to think about having it moved to the DIY section, either way, I am putting a link to it in the "Mega Stagea Link" thread :)

Again very nice writeup! Thanks!

i did it the other day but i cant remove the damn plugs to the power controls. How did you unplug it? the side morrow adjuster can be unplugeed easy but not the power window one. Lemme know. thanks

All the electrical plugs use the same locking system. You need to push in the little clip on the side. Use a screwdriver are similar. It can be a prick of a job as you need two hands to unplug it and two hands to hold the door fab.

Having this same problem, driver's side front on S2... power controls plug (the big one) doesn't matter how far the locking tab is depressed, it's stuck like glue. Yet I know it's not glued 'cause I plugged it in myself not 4 months ago.

We had been having trouble with window alignment of the left rear door window glass in our S2 for a while.

Recently i had the door to a point where i could make some minor adjustments and then i found the alingment problem for our car.

I found that there is a small white plastic bush that slides in the glass runner, which the regulator arms are mounted to via a little metal balljoint. I found that plastic bush was split in half and allowing the glass to lay back.

I have been into Nissan and i was told that i can't even buy a new complete regulator.

Has anybody found this same problem and be willing to share a solution.

Cheers, Jason.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
