How did you align it?

Best thing to do is to take the extra time to rip all the trim out and drop the entire frame down, and check the mechanisms.

Can do it by yourself, probably easier since 2 doors are smaller sunroof assembly, but it is pretty heavy and awquard to get back up into the roof by yourself, so get a mate to help.

i think i posted osmething about my sunroof and it was you that was willing to come give a hand i think? lol nah i aligned it using the motor and now it sits flush but it still doesn't like tilt up or down :D lol mmmmmi wonder could it be the switch

Cheers

Yeah that was me.

Can't be the motor. It only has one motor which controls both directions (back/forward, and up/down tilt), so if it's moving one way and not the other, it'll just be off the runners or blocked somewhere.

PM me if you want a hand.

Basic test.

Pry the switch assembly out of the roof trim.

Dead centre of the motor is a black circle, rip that off, you'll see a flat head screw kind of thing...turn that...

I'm pretty sure the R33s have them, I know late 80s - early 90s do have them, but later models started removing this for some reason - basically its there so you can shut the sunroof in the event it gets stuck open and its going to rain or something..

Turn it counter-clockwise to go backwards, or clockwise to tilt up (or the other way round, can't remember). If it can go up manually, then your switch is stuffed, but as I said, both functions operate one the one cable, so they should either both work, or neither work.

OK, wellll, to get the assembly out, you need to take the trim off all pillars, and the roof lining, can be in and out in maybe an hour, tops, with two people, so send me a pm. I'm available most afternoons after 5, and on weekend (yeah, even this weekend). Make sure you got all the tools and Iced Coffee :D

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
