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.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • 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.
