For all we know Chris, this guy could be the 6 million dollar man!!

(Bionic.....for the younger folk.. )

Hope you're well buddy....

Bump!

I'm 37 I remember both shows.

reason I asked - if he's mechanical enough to pull the door down then he can change the motor himself. its mainly 10mm bolts (lots of them) that have to be removed.

failing that - take it to nissan and let them do it. the motor is a Z33 item and door (although SLIGHTLY different shape) is a Z33 as well. expect a $500 bill (inc motor) for that. to tear one down and reassemble is 1.5 hrs roughly. (thats what it takes me.)

yeah...I knew that you knew that I knew that too! ...er....yeah!

Though with the current exchange rate, Bionic Man is prolly 7 and a half buh..and the door motor about 6 mill.

Good advice mate.

new motor Mark ..

Nissan quoted me $570 for the passenger motor. Ended up getting it from the US for $280.

[Chris Rogers]

someone is proud of their product. they are not that expensive. last one I bought new was $350 locally.

nidn you since its tore down I would also do the regulator as well. saves tearing it down again. the reg is the worst part of it.

give me a chassis number to work with and I'll pull a part number for you. there is a revison on that motor as well. looks like they fixed what broke in them.

Thanks guys! and Chris specially!

i got told yesterday, before i go purchase a new one, to open it up and clean out the surroundings of the buttons....anyhow will let you all know how i go.... if it doesnt work, i will just go to NISSAN and get a new motor...

[Chris Rogers]

you can but I'm almsot certain that switch is solid state. if it dont go it's a motor.

[scathing]

The guys on 350Z-Tech say that the motor might be "cleanable", which could restore functionality.

Walk-through (for Z's, anyway) here.

[Stephen Thorpe]

Chris... and an hour and a half? you must be joking!

That'll take me 4 hours, disassemble, fault find, replace, clean, tighten all bits inspect door and put back together. With another clean at the end.

[Blitz_boy]

I tried "reconditioning" mine first but I think the problem with them is something else. After cleaning it up it would work going down but didn't have enough strength to close the window. Just put in a newy, it's a new part number so hopefully you won't have the same problem.

1.5 hours is reasonable I think if you stay focussed. 4 hours? you must of had a few beer brakes

someone post a shot of the inner door and I'll do a point and explain.

stephen,

never looked at the FSM for this thing. I dare say its 4 hrs from dry though. (to do a doot lock actuator does take longer - thats a BITCH to do!)

[Stephen Thorpe]

Oh, yes maybe I was thinking door lock actuators... not window winder.

Anyway, I still take my time, hate doing things twice, bescause I didn't locktite something, or adjust it, clean or polish it.

As for Beer "Brake" (sic), nope never during... just a Bourbon as I finish the job.

So Chris, the first one you did would be 4 hrs would it? It is just you have experience now though!

[Chris Rogers]

the lock actuator did. the window - no.

got both down to a resonable time now.

[Stephen Thorpe]

After a few times all jobs should remarkably reduce in time required.

Hey Guys.

Ever had a problem with the windows moving while driving at high speeds (110kmh+)

My windows shift up and down when go over a bump or past a road train. The "open doors light" comes on aswell as the door lights and interior light.

Any ideas?

I think i might be to do with some sensor thats a bit touchy.

[V35_Paul]

"bump"

I'm still having this problem but it has gotten pretty bad now. I get "door open" warnings now

[Chris Rogers]

to be honest I would really need to have the car ion front of me to fully understand it.

(not going to happen since you are in WA.)
