R32 GTR/GTS-t Window Switch Globe

Back again with another OCD post. Over the Christmas break I had some free time to do some work on the GTR. (Finally) After fixing up all of the cluster surround globes which you can view my tutorial here in case you've missed it. I decided to pull out the drivers side window switch and replace the factory globe. Very minor detail, but if your fussy like myself this may come in handy. I've included some photos below of the simple process.

Firstly you'll need to remove the drivers side window switch from the door trim. We will be replacing the light globe as shown in the photo below.

Once you have the switch in your hand. Turn over and remove the 4 screws as shown below.

You'll then need to un clip each plastic clip on the switch backing. This can be done carefully by using a small flat screw driver or a plastic trim removal tool.

Once you've removed the plastic backing plate, the circuit board should look like the photo below.

The window switch uses the same globe as the climate control unit. I recently purchased a LED upgrade kit for the climate control which came with a few extra globes. You'll just need to twist the globe out and replace.

Reverse order to put everything back together and the end result as shown below. Not the greatest photo as it was taken while it was still bright outside.

I hope this helps fussy R32 owners like myself. I'm sure i'll have more threads in the future.

I didn't either and presumably from the pic so do the arrows on the mirror adjustment controller?

 

Unfortunately that's just the angle of the photo. I don't believe there's a back light for that switch. I might pull a spare switch apart to confirm.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
