Oh so does that mean the motor has developed some kind of free play?

I got my partner to adjust the window it now drops ok but still with the horrid click.

Wot is actually making the click sound

does your driver side window and passenger side window both go up and down at the same speed? or is 1 slower than the other?

this is a very common problem with these cars, usually the motor generates alot of gunk and dirt inside the motor usually around the brushes. There is a DIY to clean them but usually the problem just comes back later so best to solve the issue right the first time.

BUT, in saying that i'm not sure if that problem is caused by the gunk and shit building up by the motor. I would PM Chris Rogers or wait til he replies here usually he chimes in on these topics regarding the power windows

From images I have seen online, the motor seems well closed off, so I would say all the "generated gunk" you see is basically bits that were once part of the motor itself... this of course is coming from someone who appears to have "solved" their window problems with a mild bang on the outside of the door with his hand. :wacko: twice...

Thanks guys for the support.

So wot is making the loud click sound it sounds like something is hitting the window itself and why is it dropping quickly in the first instant?

Do the cables stretch?

And the the 2 bottom threads that screw into the bottom of the window tracks with the flat blade slot in the end of them that hold the tracks to the silver plate that bolts the main part of the door?

How do I know how much to screw them in or out?

why are you touching them in the first place? that it the main adjustment for the angle of the glass. keep screwing with it and you will be up for a regulator as well. leave it alone.

They wer all loose n there was clear signs they had been tampered with/adjusted preiviously,kind of sucks but we will work thru it.

Do u know where they should be?

I don't mind buying a new regulator if it means everything will be spot on.

Do u know why it's dropping really quick for just the first part and making the horrible click sound/wot is physically making the sound.

So Chris can you just let me know what exactly the Regulator does? Need to know because if i replace my window motors i would like to be sure that it would solve my "auto" up and down feature of my drivers side because that's stopped working

graphite grease.

regulator is what holds and moves the glass in place. if all you have done is drop the 4 bolts holding it on then fine. if you have taken the 4 bolts off AND moved tbe bolt position then i cannot help you as i need the car un front of me. either way you need two motors at best. do the locks whilst you are there as those will fail next.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
