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

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
