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?

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
