Drivers window has been playing up in that auto wind up would get to 2/3rds up, then reverse back down. Holding the button would make it power though with a tiny pause. Now the window is stuck at 1/3rd up and wont move in either direction. I guess the first step is to check all the fuses in the drivers side footwell - unless someone knows the right one. Anything else i should look at?

Yep, and the cover inside the door latch, you need to unclip the two plastic clips near the hinge, pull towards yourself, then slide the trim upwards.

See if there is a G35 clip on youtube, that will help.

The 2/3rd up issue was a seperate issue for you. That is caused by it losing its programming for height. Once you remove the door trim if I remember rightly there was a black sticker around the centre of where the motor sits. If you remove that sticker it gives access to a button that allows you to program the height the motor goes up to. I can't remember the exact process used to program it. But I'm sure you will be able to work it out.

My drivers window gets stuck at 3/4 also but makes a slipping teeth sound like the worm drive is shot. I check out my bushes and as Scotty mentioned they were also very worn. I bent them out so they contacted better and it fixed half the issue(new bushes would be better)...still need a new system I think.

I have one new aftermarket window motor here, these are probably your best choice as most of the drivers window motors are flogged by this stage.

I have done the same a few times, cleaning the commutator and bending the brushes in will keep it going a few more weeks/months.

Everything's back together with a new motor from Scotty. However, when i open the door for step 6 of the reset procedure, there's no window movement so i'm guessing it hasn't taken.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
