Against my better judgment I'm going to give this a go today to inspect the mechanisms that hold the glass, as the glass rattles, window up or down, and both sides too. I'm think there will be some locating lugs and they're worn.

Something like this thread but for the R32 GTR would be terrific but I can't find anything.

Can you link me up if there is something. If not, could someone give me some top tips. Hard to find screw locations, tricky bits, the overall order in which you go about it etc.

Thanks.

Here's one for the 33 also. Read this: http://www.skylinesa...rattling+window

The 32 is same and fairly easy and just use common sense

Door handle surround comes out easy (no screws)

Lift the electric window panel and remove cabling

Remove plug and screw from door handle insert, remove

Locate and remove the screws around the door card extremeties (about 5) none hidden

The door card is clipped in also. Remove with caution and use a flat head screw driver as close to each clip as you can

Lift the door card and jiggle till it is free

Ta Da

Adjust and re-assemble in reverse order

Otherwise that should be it. Once you remove the trim around the door handle, the plastic trim & screw for the door pull.

It should just pop off easily. The GT-T has an extra screw point up the front over a R33 GTR, so i'd say a R32 GTR wouldn't have this either.

There might also be 3 screws along the bottom of the door skin holding it in place.

Then just pry the locator plugs out (just slowly by hand is fine, start from the bottom), and then lift up and off it comes!

Argh me harties. All went to plan. Passenger side has a couple more screws. One is obvious as it's in the handle only on the passenger side and has a clip in cover over it. The other you need to pop out the window switch and it's sitting in behind there. Adjustment pretty easy. Took it for a quick drive and to an extent the adjustment has worked but there's still more rattling things in there.

Thanks for your input.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
