Just about every stag I've had something to do with's windows clunk around at some point. Weather its shutting doors with them down or if the door is shut and their halfway down you can rattle them around abit. Dono about others but it shits me to tears.

Has anyone got a fix for this or know what needs re-adjusting? I've pulled door skins but nothing has jumped out at me at to what it could be.

All my windows/doors are fine except the front passenger window. Clunks when you close the door. I've pulled it apart twice chasing this mystery 'clunk' and cannot find it. I've just learnt to live with it.

To what extent did you pull it apart? Surely if you were to pull the window and arms it would stand out like dogs nuts...

Im clearly living with it atm but would be nice to get a fix sorted for everyone

A couple of my windows rattle if they are a down a litle bit while driving. I think it's just part of having frameless windows, every car I have been in with windows like that has had similar things

Yeah my stag and 2 previous 180's have all had the same problem. Joy of having pillarless windows I guess. Mind you my back ones seem ok. But they rarely ever get used so thats probably why. Even my back doors seem a lot stiffer to open and shut because they also rarely get used. I would love to know how to get rid of the wind noise on the fronts without having to get weather sheilds.

man i have a wind noise with the weather shields, wish i knew how to get rid of it

its your window close height - it needs to seal up against the rubber

my outback was perfect until i knocked the drivers door and messed up the gaps, then i got wind noise from that door

All pillarless windows are adjustable, up/down - in/out - front/rear, but rollers also fail over time.

Adjust stoppers at top of door for height, adjustable bolts on vertical rails for in/out and slides in middle of door frame for front/rear.

I've replaced all 4x doors on my stagea and had to adjust so they sealed and didnt hit weather strip at top.

My drivers rear clunks whilst going up but think I left something loose! LOL

!!! Also have 4x spare regulators and windows with good rollers if needed !!!

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
