Some f**king assholes broke into my R33 last night.

They didn't take anything because well.. I had nothing in there lol.

I also removed the negative terminal on the battery since I hardly drive it.

They pried open the drivers side window since they are pillarless and shoved their hand in to pull the unlock switch.

Now my windows f**ked cause it's out of place and when I try to open and close it by using the window switch, there's a loud clunk.

Anyone know how to open up the R33 drivers side door and get to the window unit?

Thats bad luck mate. To remove the trim take off the cap thats inside your hand well on the door then remove screw. lift up the switch panel and unplug. remove all the screws along the bottom of door then pull trim away again at bottom of door a little bit then tap up which should part the top of the trim along the window edge. Remove the plastic carefully and you should then see the window mechanism. you will need to put plastic back on after

Thanks for the help mate but I don't know how to lift up the switch panel. I already removed that screw in the hand well but the switch panel will not budge.

Do I also have to remove the door handle card because I'm finding it extremely difficult to undo the door handle clip.

looks like you leave the switch plate attached to the card you disconnect it from behind once you undo card from door. to get the door opener surround off just put your fingers behind one of the corners and pull on it its cliped in. give that a try

I can't undo the card from the door because the switch plate is connected to something behind the card and my hand is too big to detach the connection :)

I just pulled my switch plate off, after the screw is out I put my arm along rest with my hand going over end of switch plate. I curled my fingers around and underneath the edge up the top of the switches and pulled up then the switch plate came out. it would only come off with leverage from the top. there is a clip between the hand hole and switches underneath the panel holding it to the door.

Thanks I removed the switch plate.

After I remove the plastic thing that covers the door, do I have to remove the steal frame behind it?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
