Hey guys .. is it just fact that all power windows will sotp working after a while .. my R32 GTST, the windows were perfect now the left side one only works when controlled by the drivers side switch .. drivers side window needs to be played with to get it working...

My real question is ... is it just a simple problem where the connection on the swtch is just old causing them not to work. is it easy to fix? can it be done on your own ?

could anyone help?

first thing is check the switches are plugged in properly. with the 32 the major problem with windows not working properly is the Power Window Relay, which is located under the driverside doorcard to the rear of the door. a small black rectanglular box. they are easy to swap over and only cost around $20-$30 from the wreakers for a working one.

If the drivers window is the problem then its an easy soldering job on the relay box, most likely, and there is a thread on it in the DIY section. With the other windows only working from the master control, its just the contacts in the individual switches and is as easy as pulling them out, then carefully apart, and just clean up the contacts with some fine sandpaper. Mine were dirty as and now no probs, just be careful not to lose any of the little parts and take note of how it was together for reassembly. :thumbsup:

how about if the drivers side power windows works when it goes up, but doesn't always work to go down. would that be the relay or would that be the actual switch?

play around for a little bit and then the window goes down

p.s sorry for hi-jacking the thread

Thats what one of my rear switches was doing (4 door) so if its always going up, and is playin up going down, then its the contacts in the switch itself... only problem there is the master switch on the drivers side looks to be stuck together pretty good (was when I looked at it, then gave up. Turned out to be the relay anyway) Try carefully getting into the master switch and clean the contacts. I'm confident this will cure your problem.

      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.
