hey guys I'm sure theres something about this somewhere I did a search but couldnt find too much.. does anyone know how to replace the power window motor in the drivers side door of an r33??

mine seems to have bit the dust.. the window got stuck down but after beating the shit out of the motor with a hammer I managed to get it to kick in and wind back up.. but she is good and dead now..

So any help would be good..

Also where can I get a replacement??

i did this a while ago but my memory is abit blurry. you can take the motor out without having to dissasemble the running arms. there is 3 gold screws from memory inside the door that holds the motor. there should be a hole to access them. there is one particular bolt that requires a mirror to get to. the hardest part is getting to those bolts then its pretty much a swap and bolt up. be carefull not to round off the screws like i did with one of them. should be a 30min job if all goes right.

if you post up a pick of the door i can show you what area the motor is located.

I removed mine a while back. i spent hours fluffing around till i finally worked out how to do it. I think the end result was quite simple. its really not that many screws once u get the trim off. But i can also remember it being helpful to have a second person to hold the glass so it doesnt go tumbling to the ground once u remove the motor from the mechanism. i think we then chocked it with some wood inside the door.

once u have it out i also have a memory of jaming something like a screw driver through part of the removed motor/mech as part of it is under high tension and will chop ya fingers off if ur not careful.

I did this today.

I was extremely worried what would happen to that coil/spring tensioner when the motor was removed, so searched and found this post. (thanks moobaque)

Anyway, i had the screw driver in there....and a pair of multi-grips jammed in too cause i was pretty worried of the whiplash..

Then, after heaps of looking at it, just got my multi-grips at their widest setting and just popped the spring off instead!

No more problems :laugh:

It only travels an extra 1/4 turn or less.

Also, when getting it back on, the largest grip will grab the sping but clamping the multis wont make the distance to get it back on.

So i used 2 sets of multis (had a crap pair i never used floating around)....so pulled as tight as i could with the 1st set, then transferred to the other set on a smaller setting...hey presto! Back in business with a working power window

Schweeeet :laugh:

      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.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
