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

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
