hey guys,

not audio but electronics :)

has anyone installed power windows into a wind up window car??

ive seen a few kits around but the prices range from 50 bucks to 300.

could someone reccomend me to a cheap easy reliable unit?

only need front doors, gunna be going into a nissan tiida.

cant justify spending a grand more for wind up windows when im a sparky.

Sell the car lol

Cant believe australia has wind up windows in car ffs still blows me away how backwards some things are?

Check the usa version think its a "nissan versa"

but confirm And wiring diagrams before buying, they would have a lot more in junkyards and most if not all would have the parts Since usa car come standard with powerwindows

Shipping is about 100 bucks roughly to ship priority

Aftermarket kits look crap unless you find power window door panels or redo them

( I looked at that car and laughed , its cant compete with the level of options compared to anything in the class ) but anyway another option

Yeah the ST doesn't have them but STL and up does.

Versas have some cool looking kits available. Not sure if the standard ones come with the one I saw.

Still... Can't be envious of USA. They can barely import r34 gtrs, and without the goal to own one would life really be worth living? Haha

Thanks for the feedback guys, may have to tell the girl friend she has to wind haha.

Can't believe the market for cars. 1-2 thousand bucks more gets you different colour seats and power windows hah.

For 2000 extra you would think the vasolene would be included when they reem you !!

i know the states are scoring gtrs etc galore a loop hole exists , but still rare and parts rare to fix em , its good we can hoard them here lol

Hondas rule the states in a big way , when i started installing i had at least 1 car a day from honda , fastest car ever to install in honda crx

Deck, 4 speakers, basic alarm, antenna , amp in about hour they just came apart so easy and fit back together again lol you get real good at it

Worse car ferrari or 72 pantera gt or old jags rolls royce sucked too

Best of luck mate tell her to buy a 2013 bluebird/ altima instead , v8 supercars platform

"mum you could have least taken me out to dinner, because I like to be wined and dined before I get f**kED" hah

Buget is around 9k if you can find a car that has 60,000kms, is an 06ish model has a 1.8L engine with same performance or a tiida or corolla and comes in a hatch let me know cause she says power windows is crucial. Sigh women huh.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
