Hello,

I brought the door corner piece awhile ago and trying to gain enough courage to try and replace it.

Has anyone on SAU replaced the door corner piece on there car or pulled apart there door/glass and have any tips? Or a detailed door diagram of sorts?

I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times

The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out

Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on

Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around. 

Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way.

Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top.

As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole.

All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window.

To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! ! 

10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T !

My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.

Ok, thanks, legends. I'm hoping I don't need to pull out the window regulator. I was thinking when the window is out, the regulator mechanism shouldn't interfere with the corner piece and then be able to be removed through the speaker hole. Fit the new corner piece and then refit the window, and Bob will still be our uncle.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
