Well lucky me.. my drivers side power window cable snapped.

Anyone got any pointers on whom to go too to get a new cable made up instead of replacing the entire regulator assembly - or a good import wrecker in Melbourne dealing with R32 GTRs?

Nissan can get me the entire regulator assembly for $285 odd, plus a 2 week MINIMUM wait order from Japan. Kind of hard to take this option when everything else is still good, plus I would'nt mind being able to drive my car places soon...

I had the same thing i couldnt find anyone to replace the broken cable so i just went to just jap and did a exchange for a $100 (secondhand) whole assembly so you just bolt it straight back in. The cable actually starts off inside the plastic wheel and i found no possible way of removing the cable with out breaking the pulley in two. Hope this helps :mellow:

Thanks for that - turns out the R32 GTS-t coupe is the exact same part which figures - from Nissanspares in Brooklyn - much easier to come by.. $80 fix!!

Some other guy up in thomastown wanted $220 beacuse it came out of a GTR.... they love those three letters.

Not enough grease in the one I pulled out and filled with grime and sand etc - gave the replacement a good clean and some fresh grease and it's all working heaps better now - much smoother.

bit of a pain - fully disassemble the door essentially.

From memory:

1. Remove door trim

2. Remove top weather seal - it slides off but there are some clips in there that need to be pressed in - will piss you off no doubt but exercise patience... it will slide off easily in the end

3. Unbolt glass and remove

4. Undo motor electrical plug

5. I think I might have even unbolted the motor as well - can't remember - if you can get at it might make it easier

6. Unbolt the assembly and slide out

I would also mark or measure the adjustment settings for the four bolts/nuts that hold the reg. assembly in so you can get it back how it was - otherwise takes a little while adjusting to get it perfect.

Good luck!

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
