R33 Power Windows Only Work When Engine Is Running

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

Ben

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?

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!

      2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By CefiroA31 · Posted

      Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
