Hey guys

Ive decided to replace my rear quarter windows after smearing them with some oil covered rag, now unable to get the streaks off. They must be permanently embedded in the glass. Anyway, Ive got to this point:

Can anyone point me further? The workshop manual seems to skip this step! Does it just pry off from here, or are there screws I cant see?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

If the 32's window is anything like the 180's, there will be some sort of clips holding on the glass with the glue. You'll definitely need a heat gun. I think you'll be able to get access to these clips when you get the the bare shell behind the glass edge.

Sorry I can't help any further. Only reason being that you'll want to keep the glass in good condition and when I took mine out, the window was smashed so didn't care about it. I just ripped and heated everything out.

Actually I dont mind if the glass is damaged on removal, as im replacing it :P Im thinking i have to slice through the urethane sealant and just yank it?

The seal is REALLY strong. It won't be easy to just yank on it and the glass will come out. :P Took awhile for it to come out. Just kept heating the seal, cut through, heat up again, cut, etc. Took ages. The seal was really strong. Couldn't slice through it easy at all.

Let me know how you go man. With my glass, it was all shattered so I just left the bits stuck on the seal and cleaned up the seal like that (no big pieces of glass in the way) so it wasn't too bad. Just a lot of slicing, heating.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
