Hi , my 96 GTS25T coupe has a problem with the drivers side window . It tries to rise and fall squiff and I've been told that the windows sit on plastic clips which can break in time .

The other weekend I tried to remove the door trim by unscrewing the screws underneath and the one under the plastic bung higher up . It moves but something is holding it towards the middle of the door . We tried to get the plastic section with the elec window switches to unclip but it won't let go in the middle . We didn't want to force it and risk breaking this section .

Can someone whos been inside R33 coupe doors please tell us how to get this door trim off and what part of the window mechanism is causing the window glass to fall at crazy angles .

Happy new year as well , cheers Adrian .

Yes we got the door latch surround and bolt out but the main PITA is the fact that the "handle tub" is located inside a horizontal "D" shaped bracket bolted to the door .

Anyway we got it out and found that the rear linkage ball pivot had popped out of its nylon track guide socket .

One of the plastic gadgets that goes through a hole in the front lower section of the window glass has broken so I'll have to see the local Nissan import spares joint (John Robinson Rockdale)to see the parts diagram and order the bits .

What my car has done is broken the front nylon mount where the horizontal bracket is fixed through the hole in the glass section .

These cars use a weird system where the nylon sliders attach at the scissor arms and the window is anchored to a horizontal bracket which is a channel for the sliding nylon bits .

If anyone can show me the section from the workshop manual of the internals of R33 Coupe door with elec windows I'd appreciate it .

Cheers Adrian .

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
