My passenger window for R32 has stopped working.. sort of...

It can be wound down using the passenger and drivers side controls for the passenger window but can only be brought up with the drivers side controls.

when the passsenger side control is used to wind the window up it moves slightly then looks as though it jams but if the drivers one is used it then goes straight up as normal.

Any sugestions????

Thanks in advance

I had exactly the same problem. One of your contacts is not contacting anymore, makes sense.....

You need to pop out the switch (you can choose to take the whole door trim off if you like, it's less fiddly) and open up the switch area. Be careful to pry it open slowly so you don't lose any parts, which I almost did, and all I did was just bend the metal contact so that it was sure to make contact.

*** Don't bend it too much, because that may mean your motor will be 'on' all the time, and burn out.

Test it out while you still have it out, if it works pop it back in and you're done.

Yep, i'm with Fixxxer. I had the exact same problem with my R32 GTS-T when I got it. Just pry the switch out of the door trim and open it up. As Fixxxer said, be careful. Keep the switch horizontal to the ground to keep the loose metal contacts from falling out. You can then clean each metal piece and its contact with fine sandpaper, a screwdriver, whatever, and put it back together again.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
