Hi all, my driver side window and left passenger window decided to die on me. And its plain irritating to open the door to get tickets in carparks. Was wondering if you guys might know where i can get it fix and how much would it cost me??

Did both stop working at the same time? weird for both 2 b not working, if you know how to get the door trim off check to see if the window reg's are getting power! If they are either be the switches or the reg's! If they arent probably a fuse???

Its weird that its both, if you check what Paul suggested and still come up empty, open the control unit. Its inside the drivers door. Look at the solder joints. If there are any that look dull, heat them up with a soldering iron so the solder reheats. It could be as simple as dry solder joints. This happened to my R33. Just on the drivers door. After doing this, I had no more problems :(

do you hear a clicking or buzzing sound?

This happened in my ex's car Check your fuses, then check your relays. (it wasn't a skyline but I assume auto electric issues aren't too different in each type of car...or maybe I'm wrogn *shrug*)

The motor could also be seizing? WD40 ftw :(

Invest in a multimeter or ask one of the guys to help and have a look if you're unsure!

definately try the control unit if the windows just decide when they want to work apparently its a problem with all electric windows using that style of system as they age the solder dries out and the conection can become intermitant

well thats what the autosparky who fixed mine in about 30 seconds told me

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
