My last 32 had a problem with the passenger power window switch and so did the current one I have now.. I have also noticed a few people chasing them because theirs doesnt work.

I Might have a simple solution for you.

*Pull the switch out of the door

*Unpick the tabs on the backside to pull the cover off the wiring into the switch

*Unpick the tabs to seperate the bottom half of the switch from the main body.

you should have something that looks like this now

Take those two metal clips out and sand back the contacting points on the body and the clips so when it swings side to side it makes electrical contact against both ends.

make sure you clean up the contacting points WELL! even the little dimple in the clips.

re-assemble and align the switch back up to the centre of the metal clips and try it out. It fixed mine! There is no circuit boards in there so its not complicated on how it works

It is a good tip although unfortunately it did not help me in my case.

I opened up my Passenger switch on multiple occassions and cleaned the contacts immaculately with fine sandpaper and contact cleaner. Each time I did this the switch would work fine for up to a week max before being dicky again. Must have been an issue with the switch housing not squeezing the switch and contacts together properly (be careful with those tabs).

Eventually I cracked the shits and bought one off the forums here. Best thing I ever did :(

I think you will find one of those clips have popped out and moving around in your housing, as it should "click" when pivoted side to side, I did notice with mine that it only clicked one way, and had my suspicion when the clip wasnt correctly located when opening the housing up.. Also good to check if the little plastic tabs are worn which roll side to side in the clip.

Thanks mate, it worked on the drivers side and then on the passenger side it didnt. Think the actual switch is sticking

It seems the drivers side is alot different to the passanger side though. Fixed mine, its amazing how dirty those points has become. Works like new now! Cheers.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
