hi all, i know this isn't directly the place to post this, but being a problem im looking to have repaired, somewhere in say, melbourne wouldn't be my best choice.

I recently purchased an R33 knowing it had some work required to be done to it, but however, i couldn't do it myself so im wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a place that could help me out.

My problems are the following

Power windows wont operate (passenger side works sometimes) i believe that problem to be in the relay itself, but the drivers side i believe to be burnt out (the auto on button locks down, so i believe the previous owner just gave up on that) wouldn't be such a problem if they weren't down

second problem is that the central locking doesn't work on the drivers side, so i hit the central locking and it opens passenger side, but not drivers side. (this is right from the panel on the door itself, or by manually locking/unlocking) could be a problem with the actuators in the drivers panel.

This is normal...the switch only does the passenger side door.

yeah agree with above :)

normally when you get central locking with your alarm you need buy a seperate relay (about $120ish) to put in to get the drivers side to open perhaps the previous owner skipped that.

The window relays are a pretty common problem, but actually not too hard to fix (providing you have soldering gear). There is a thread on fixing them in the DIY forum

ok so, the window is a tad more damaged than i initially thought (everything inside the door regarding the window basically needs replacing)

can anyone recommend a decent place to get this done?

other things aren't that big an issue, just need my windows fixed ><

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
