R34 Gtr Side Window Motor - Access?

Hi

My drivers side electric window motor seems to be on the way out so I thought I would open it up and check if a DIY fix is possible.

The panel/trim came off without to much bother but getting to the motor and mechanism seems to be impossible due to it being behind the inner metal door skin which does not seem to unbolt and in fact seems to be spot welded to the outer door skin.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get the motor and mechanism out?

Thanks

Stretch

Can you post up a picture or 2 ? There must be access of some sort as the motor wouldve been put in there after the inner and outer skins wouldve been spot welded together on the assembly line

You have to unbolt the glass from the rails first.

There are access holes on the inner skin to get to the various bolts depending on the position of the window slider rails.

The large hole is basically where you pull the reg assy out after setting it up so it is 'compact' to remove.

A workshop manual would be really handy right now!

GTRsean , on closer inspection you are correct, there is space to unbolt and remove the mechanism/motor.

Do you think the plastic sheet that is glued to the door skin is really needed when putting the door card back on?

But more importantly it looks like cleaning and greasing the tracks for the window is going to sort the issue out, so hopefully no need for a new motor.

I will confirm after the weekend.

Yes it is really needed otherwise it wouldnt be there in the first place, the goop holding it on is soft so if you carefully peel it back when accessing that area then it should be okay to put back on

When you wash the car a certain amount of water makes it's way past the window glass and seals, then it drains out the bottom of the door.

The plastic sheet helps with moisture control so that the door trim doesn't slowly rot away :)

Most new cars don't have it because the door trim is all plastic...

So I managed to grease all the relevant tracks and pivots and the window is now working OK.

Was so much faster it highlighted that the passenger side needed doing as well.

Also got the plastic sheet back on OK.

Thanks for the input gents

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
