Hey all, I recently bought an R33 Skyline and one thing I've noticed is that the power windows only work when the car is running, as opposed to when it's just on accessories. This seemed odd to me as most other cars that have power windows that iv'e been in still let you operate them on accessories.

So basically I was just wondering if this is something that might have been slightly incorrectly wired when something like the turbo timer went in, or something to that effect? Or whether R33s were just wired that way to start with.

Cheers

My S2 R33's windows work when the car is switched to on, but not ACC. None of the cars i have ever owned had the windows work when only on ACC.

Do you windows work when key is to ON without engine running, or just when the engine is running?

same here just on, not acc (R33 gtst)

only car ive ever been in thats different is my friends VR comondoor :sick: which gave you about 15 seconds after turning the car off to close them.

ive only owned my car for a few weeks, it gets me every time LOL

Ahh thanks guys, I could have sworn that the other cars I tried were set to "ACC" and were still allowing me to use the windows, but it must have been when they were set to "ON", as I just went out to test the windows again on my Skyline then and it worked exactly as described - windows working when engine off, but set to "ON".

Sorry about the confusion there, but thanks for the help!

Hehe this is one thing I've appreciated about the turbo timer, a few times already I've been driving around with the windows rolled down, stopped somewhere and taken the keys from the ignition only to realise the windows were still down... :) but thankfully with the engine still running for a brief period it is just enough to get them back up before it cuts out!

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
