Hey guys

The passenger side window is broken today, it cannot be up or down and when you close the door the auto-up is gone. I can actually hear a click sound came inside the door when I was pressing the button (That means the circuit still work?)... Anyone have this before? Problem with the motor? How much to fix it.... My car is 2003 coupe and now i am soooo pissed.. :banana::D:):ermm::ermm:

Is the car still under warranty? If so, take it back to your dealer and they should fix it for free as it is mechanical, not electrical.

Good luck.

Common problem. Mine is having it as well, on the driver's side. Yet to get to fixed.

If your window is stuck and you just want get it to shut temporarily, try this: hold your window switch UP, then bum the door from the inside. It should go up. If it still doesn't, just apply more force.

Thanks a lot mate, but the warranty is nothing, only if your engine blow up...

Yer, I heard the 2003 model have some electrical problems..

Do you have any idea how much to fix that? :D

Have a read of Chris's fourth post.

If you've got any electrical/audio/suspension etc issues, check that thread before posting, it's quite helpful :D

Thanks mate... I checked it is roughly $400.. But I only know a deal near where I live, its heaps small and I am doubting they don't have any parts..

if your in brissy give the guys at powerwin a call.... there pritty cheap and have a quick turnaround... if its not under warenty.... qld brisbane based company though

Thanks for the information.. But I am in Syd.. actally is Illawarra region. :D:mrt:

With our Aussie dollar being this good, it's only natural to take advantage of sourcing parts from the US.

Have a look at this - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GENUINE-NIS...sQ5fAccessories

$AU173 + $AU27 for shipping. $AU200 looks like a good deal to me :D

Ok. I just asked because when I bought mine, I took extra options on warranty such as windows issue.

Good luck anyway.

Surprise!! The window is back today! I didn't touch anything and it just work again...I can just assume the program screwed up...

HOWEVER, at the same time, the door lock lost its function.. When I use the remote control to lock and quickly unlock, the passenger side door was still lock but the drive side just fine. Same thing happened if you unlock the door and quickly lock again, the passenger side door coundn't lock by itself.. BUT, if you wait, for half an hour or longer then you press unlock (or lock), it work again! What the Hell is this.. :P;):P

That's abit odd.

My suggestion is just have a check next time you service your car...because you don't want to be stuck at some random place and can't wind up the windows or lock the doors.

You're better off spending the extra $$$ and replacing the door-lock solenoids and the window motors/regulators. As Victor said, you don't want to be in a random place with windows down and doors which don't lock :devil: . I wouldn't ignore these issues if I were U.

True.. This is just so creepy the car is playing me..haha.

I am more worry about the window issue cause I can always lock the door manually. :(

Anyway, this is all about $$$.. My wallet goes flat :devil:

Your wallet goes flat...but you get to have a sexy car! :(

given you are experiencing these issues NOW I would strongly suggest instead of talking about it on a forum - FIX IT! when the windows die on these cars they do it WITHOUT WARNING! if that is down then you are really screwed.

all the chatter about resetting them and programs going wrong - totally off target.

these are known mechanical issues on these cars (up to 2006.11) and they should be fixed the first sign of trouble.

if you are having full door issues then I would do ALL 4 items. that way you have a known constant (yes it will kill your wallet.) and piece of mind that it is all new gear (forget sourcing second hand = hand grenade.) and it will last another 5-6 years.

in the past day I have been asked to supply 4 door actutators from 4 different people. I think that says something.

if you want very little hassle from a car and more fun you prbably should have bought a nissan instead of a renault :devil:

( I can say that - I own a R32.)

Thanks for that! Should get it fix..

This is a good car, love to drive it. but since i have bought the car, she actually gives me some headaches, such as, window, door, wasting tank leaking, fuel damper fail, break vibration...etc. I get some of them fixed but new problems keep coming up. What can I say? --- I still love it, as long as I still have $$$ in my wallet...

    • Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.
    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
