i had this problem and myself and lee (lbr33) tried to figure it out and still couldnt. i just ended up replacing the black motor box thingy and that resolved it using his power switches.

went back to mine and still didnt work... only to find out a few wks later that the plastic bits to push the button thing up and down were broken. gluing a piece of plastic back to it to act as the fork ended up fixing it.

pm me and if u want, i can have a look to see if its the same thing i was having with mine.

Yeah ive actually investigated alot and ive pulled the switch apart from the plastic mech ontop and you can move it around and stuff and you can still hear the black motor box just like a clicking kinda sound as i move the switch on the 3 settings, so im thinking it might be the motor box if so how much would that set me back to replace?

Can be one of 3 things padwan.

1. Window motor

2. Window switchs

3. Window relay

test each one.

thanks to Falconios fro helping me figure that one out :(

Hehe well i know for sure it isnt my switch but it could be my relay or motor, although how do i get to my motor to pull it out and check and stuff! Is this something I should DIY ?

Just got my car back from auto electrican today,and my motot in drivers side was screwed because of the auto switch. He reckons donty use aoto switch ever,always manually control the window urself. My switch is a bit broken,but all i got was a reconditioned motor,cost $250 fitted.

mine stuffed up because my auto switch is screwed,and when i use it,it stays clicked down which is why my motor burned out. Im not sure what a new switch is worth, but im over window expenses. As long as it works up and down i dont care about a switch. The guy reckobs his fixes about 3 skylines a week with the same prob as mine. Just so i didnt think he was rippin me off,i took it for a second opinion and he said exactly the same thing. So expect to pay atleast $250 for a motot fitted,as other places were $400-$500

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
