anyone have an Idea on how to do this?

I have massive scratch marks on my window that apparently cant be buffed out because it will shatter. If anyone has got this done how much did they pay and if they did it them selfs how much work is involved?

Hey man!

Its caused by the a few sponges, which is suppost to allow the window to slide up and down smoothly but as time goes the sponges turn hard and become hard dried up brisle brushes which leads to scratching.

I have not removed my window before but I have had to change my electric window mechanisim which requires fiddling around with the window.

Remove the iner door panel and you will see the window mechanisim, the one that allows the window to go up and down lead by metal wire.

There is an attachment or hinge and the window is bolted to that.

Un bolt it and slide the window out.

You could take it to your mechanic or take it to O'Briens windscreens and they could replace the window for you.

hey, its actually not as hard as it looks. first time around took me about an hour. now it takes about 20 mins.

its much easier to do with the door off (taking the door off and putting it back on is a bitch) but it is doable with it still on the car.

basically, take the door trim off and then take the plastic thing off. there are two gold nuts at the top of the door and two at the bottom of the door. this takes the whole window and motor mechanism thing off. once you get that off, you can get to the bolts that hold the window onto the motor mechanism thing. then you can slide the window out the top of the door.

note: be careful that you don't drop the window into the door

hope that helps

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
