Hey,

Well my drivers side door window has long scratches running the full length of the window (up and down, from top to bottom). they are just about dead cntre of the window. The power window still works fine, it doesnt appear to be struggling or anything. and it doesnt make a noise so i cant tell if anything is rubbing on it. but from the amount of scratches it appears its been doing it for some time. The passenger side has no scratches. Has this happened to anyone else? How did u fix it? does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? or how to stop it?

thanks.

there are little pads that guide the window. after a while the felt cover wears off and the metal underneath scratches the window. the reason it's usually worse on the drivers side is because the drivers side get's more use. really the only way to fix it is to buy a new window, and replace the little pads with new ones.

I've bought the parts and i'm installing over the Christmas break

Their not cheap...especially for what you get...OEM Nissan Parts, no suprise their expensive. Do both windows as it will save you the expense of the extra window purchase down the road.

Be advised all these were for my 32R

For the pair and thats one side...$129.00 ex Japan wait about a week. You would gag if i posted the pix, these things are nothing, I did a double take and had the parts cat check...sure enough...bang 129 bucks, damn OEM. But its cheaper than the window i bought and will be cheaper than waiting till the passenger ones scratched to buggery and needs replacing. :)

spot on... But you can loosen the current ones to prevent any further scratching..

Anyone know the part number for the R33 Parts? (the little felt pads)

Would like to fix this and retint my windows

Can we just get glass from the windscreen obriens or something?! If so I'm going to do this too. Noticed scratches on a few R34 GT-R's as well. BAD DESIGN NISSAN!

Wouldnt think so...curved, tempered etc. But hey, I could be wrong...I never checked.

Second handies can be found.

If I can remember to do it in between swearing at the car and enjoying a holiday tipple I will take some pix and do a D.I.Y.

yeah, the windows are fairly complex, i'd doubt obrien or anyone other than nissan would make them. they hahve to have holes in them for all the bolts, guide etc and they are curved and cut in odd shapes.

I'm luck in that I was able to buy a mint passenger window, and a mint drivers window. still haven't put them in, but I will :D

Good work on the part numbers, I'd like to see a pic too. maybe I can re-coat my old ones with something.

a quick guide i used to adjust mine.

those window guides just have a furry pad on them. i reckon you could pull them out and replace the pad yourself with anything soft and suitable.

These pads not only wear out, but they can get choked with dust so when you wash the car you should run water over them by letting the window down a bit and pushing the window in a little. Gives heaps of space to flush. Make sure the door drains aren't clogged too.

I got some darkish strips down the drivers window which is the early stages of the wearing, but the pads have plenty of felt left on them.

Clark rubber might have something that can be used to replace the pads.

Im actually referring to the inside pads... they are the ones causing the scratching.. And ive got no idea if they are able to be replaced or not..

Yes. There are sets for the inner surface and the outer surface. If dust gets into the door both are exposed. They can be replaced but there will be some work to it, such as glass removal but not too serious.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
