Hi all,

I have been having heaps of problems with my window motor/regulator on the drivers side. I am unsure what the actual problem is, but i am considering ripping everything out and rebuilding with series 2 gear... will this work?

Here is what i have done so far:

1) window was not winding up or down- banging the door would let the switch work

2) eventually, it stopped working at all- i changed the regulator and it worked for a while...

3) now it winds up, but not down. I used my old regulator, took the shell off and press the reg buttons themselves on the little motherboard. This is the only way the window will work.

4) through all of this time, i can only wind the window down 95% max- if i wind it all the way down it gets jammed and i have to pull everything apart and get to the actual motor to push the teeth back on track so the motor will work.

5) window is very slow and now doesnt wind down at all at about 30% down, unless i push it to help it on its way.

I have taken everything apart, looked at the motor and reg and its wiring, and cannot see anything that should be causing a problem... im out of ideas!

So my next step is to consider an upgrade to S2 gear- i believe the Series 2 r33 window motors do not have that crappy little black regulator box that always screws up on Series 1's.

Thanks, appreciate any help/comments!

Ryan

      There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...

      Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm.
