The passenger side window is playing up on my R34 GT, the front of it goes down faster than the back, the back seems to get stuck, and then the whole window gets stuck and i cant get it down or up. If i open the door and push the button for awhile eventually it sometimes goes back up. But then it hit the seal on the door, and i cant close it unless the door is open anyway.

I havent owned my car for very long, and to my knowledge the previous owner didnt have this problem. However i think what has happened is the previous owner got his sound system professionally installed, and they messed it up. If i take off the door panel and try to see what is going on, i cant see anything wrong with the rollers, but there is a lot of speaker wiring in the door, and i think it is getting wrapped around the front roller of the window, so when i push the button it drags the front down and then gets stuck in the roller so the window cant move anymore...

I just wanted to find out if anyone else has had a problem like this with their window, or if you think it is those speaker cables? If you do think it is the cables, does anyone know how to get the glove box out? I presume the wiring would go behind the glove box, so if i could get it out then i could pull the excess wiring through from the door and cable tie it somewhere, but i cant see how to get the glove box out, ive removed all the screws i can see and it still wont budge at all.

Cheers for any help =]

Hey fella, i have had the same problem with my window too. When i wind it down it clicks alot and the front will go down first?? and when you wind it up the back will go up first and the front will follow?? i took my door card off to find out the problem and there is a little plastic bush on the window half scissor system and this has broken so its f**ked! i tried to glue it back together but snapped straight away again! maybe a new system will be needed?? if you get chance to look again just look where the arm meets the slider and it will be around there. hope this helps mate

found a similar problem with my 34 today, the drivers window keeps wanting to go down (i can put it up about 1/3rd of the way then it winds down again) the motor sounds fine, could be the relay i guess.. trying to figure out how to get the door skin off at the moment :D

Yeh that sounds pretty much like what it does. I guess it could be that, but i couldnt see anything with the actual window system that looked wrong, and my window is actually working pretty well now except that now the passenger side switch is broken and it can only be rolled up and down from the drivers side. Took the switch out and found that the little clips that hold the rocker in place have all snapped off, so i need to buy a new switch, which is f**ked!

Anyway, it appears to be working pretty well if i do it from the drivers side, it isnt going down on an angle anymore. Except the seal is coming off the door, so i have to open the door to wind it back up with the door open =[

Seriously, power windows are so shit, manual windows are so much better!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
