I've been reading as much as i can so far on this problem that happens in most r33's and to no avail i still have a problem with mine.

it seems that my switch has slumped down and it keeps the relay clicking when the car is running and is starting to burn out the motor, my window goes up and down but only when i hit the motor and it seems to work, other times it just refuses to move at all, just the relay keeps clicking, any advice on how to go about this..

i really can't afford to take it to an auto lecky, i'd rather do the work myself but my question is do i need a new motor? im going to try chase down a 2nd hand switch, ive tried friends switches and still does the same thing, leaning more towards it being the motor. but if i keep the switch and buy a new motor and it fixes the problem most likely its just going to burn out the new motor i put in the car.

any advice on what i should look for, i hit the motor and it works.. then randomly stops working is just stupid, ive checked all the wires cleaned them everything i could think of kind of stuck at this point.

I had the same problem, you just need a new switch.. Just purchase from the wrecker..

I had this same clicking sound and it did burn out the motor but I got zoom imports to fix the motor for me.. Make sure you get the switch fixed before you fix the motor because it will break again easily.. I think Zoom charge about $160 for this.

You're in brisbane right?

i got a window motor from alljaps vaginia for 125clams, and a switch from the for sale section. takes about half and hour to change the motor over then change the switch when u put the door skin back together again.

if u want more infor on how to get the motor out then send me a PM and ill try to explain it (its pritty easy).

Resurrecting this to add my experience with this problem.

I had the same problem with the clicking inside the relay box and no up or down with the window.

I opened the relay box from the connector end and checked the soldering to find one of the pins had cracked solder on the underside of the pcb board. Added more solder to this pin using a soldering iron and voila, window winds up and down.

If you're gonna replace the relay box, give this a go first.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
