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.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
