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

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
