Hi,

iv done a quick search and unless i don't know how to use it, i couldn't find anything relevant to my issue.

long story short i recently brought a R34 Gt-t skyline and i knew that it had this issue but figured it couldn't be too hard to fix.

The passenger window works fine when i use the switches on the driver side, goes up and down smoothly, but when using the switch on the passenger side the window will only go up, to go down i would need to do it from the driver side, not much of an issue but an issue non the less.

From my understanding it would have to be the switch as if it was the motor it wouldn't work at all, just wanting to get some info from people who know about or have had the issue and fixed it, i sourced a R34 passenger side switch, does it make a difference if it is a jdm r34 switch or not? just holding off on buying it until i know that is what i need to replace for sure.

Thanks in advance.

I've had no issues, but if driver side controls works fine up and down for passenger side, then it sounds like you have a problem with the wiring. Either you have done something recently to it and has cut or popped out a wire that runs the signal or it has, well cut or popped somehow.

Where in Sydney are you from? I could take a look if your near 2165?

Yeah I would be in due time, just not right now since I'd like to keep some controls of the car for now. If someone ends up buying the motor, then everything is sure to go.

My illustrated theory is attached :)

Ahh that's perfect thanks heaps man ill give it a look on Sunday

Switch mine failed once already , nissan solder joints suck and rain tends to drop right down on the armrest there if the window is cracked open

Series 1 and 2 cars use different switches that dont interchange , the cut off is 8/2000 and later is S2 , you can tell the series 2 switches are flat on the back white plastic area

Series 1 are bulged out

Series 1 uses normal size parts

Series 2 uses surface mount parts much smaller and a lot harder to resolder

Ahk thanks heaps, iv read a lot about Nissan solder joints being crap as my stock boost gauge kept playing up and it was the solder joints in the black box, thanks for all the info, stupid question but how do I rep?

Series 1 switches you can resolder if broken

Series 2 you need skills, static straps heat sinks, etc or you'll over heat the part and kill it

Easiest fix swap it out for a working one

I got a series 1 but more than likely ill just go buy another one, thanks for all the help

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
