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.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
