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 .

A .

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 .

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
