The window rattles are starting to annoy me now when the window is half down or whatever, has anybody actually taken the time to fix this? I know its a somewhat common problem, and its not a big issue as my windows are rarely "half down" but i like things to be perfect :woot: anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

You can adjust those things that reduce the window movement

But its weird, when my window is almost all the way up, it doesnt move that much

Halfway down it does move alot, guess its the shape of the window itself

So if you adjusted it to be tight half way down, it might not even close when you try and wind it up

My 33 rattles when they are fully up.

You can adjust the tension on the little fabric feet things. But be aware that if you do tighten them up too much it puts a bit of strain on the bottom half of the mechanism.

In mine, the little plastic roller balls in the track split. And guess what? You cant replace them. You have to buy a new regulator. Just be careful.

And also if you have tints, think about that. The feed rub against the glass all the time. If you get on the right angle with un tinted glass you can see two perfectly clean lines from where it rubs. I would imagine it wouldnt be too nice on tints if its too tight?

But keeping it to the thread, is there any other ways of adjusting them to stop rattles?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
