R32 Skyline Door Window Won't Roll Up (Not Electrical)

Was driving and put my window up yesterday and it fell into the door, I can hear grinding and the door trying to function. Don't know anything about car windows, what is likely broken and are there any diagrams or write ups on this?

Searched and only thing I can find is electrical issues, i'm assuming this is mechanical and some kind of a gear broke.

Take the door card off and have a look

This is simple to do.

6 or so push in clips around the door card extremeties (be a little gentle but not too much) maybe use a screw driver to leaver out or the proper tool.

Pull the electrics panel up and disconnect the 2 plugs

Undo the screw in the hand hold

Pull door handle insert off

and then lift the door card up and off

Rather than guess it's best to look and know :thumbsup:

(Perhaps the two nuts that hold the glass to the scissor lift have worked there way off.)

Edit: Oh and each time you try to raise it your likely scratching the glass

Well I did take the door card off just didn't know what to look for.

The rails are secured onto the window so that doesn't seem to be the issue here.

Found it. Looks like there is this wire that pulls the door up and down or something, it is broken in two. What's the part I need to replace if that's what it is? Guessing window regulator.

- take a pic and post. Easier to help

Most parts have numbers on them - try google and car make model

Also check Japanese Import Spares - likely they have several :thumbsup:

$95 bucks for this ^ and $65 for the left one

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
