Cool. Any idea the best place to get one? Closed my door when I got home and the window exploded!

That is Crazy! Do you think it was touching something hard inside the door?

or maybe too much air pressure inside... Seals too good.

Trojan? or whatever JapSpec turned into?

or Try Jap Parts in Fyshwick maybe...

Tell him Rob with the R31 Wagon sent ya! :thumbsup:

hmm that is strange....I agree it seems likely it either hit something inside or maybe the lower seal is rusted/loose?

anyway, if you find a window in Sydney I can bring it down next week.

Bub wanted to get up at 5 this morning.....

Lucky he did, i found water spreading across the lino floor.

One of the fishtanks is leaking. Emptied it out, fish in a bucket, took it outside.

Good excuse to get rid of it...... dont tell the missus i said that. ;)

less fish time=more skyline time

Anyone want a pair of Angelfish?

I once had an old Pintara as a daily that someone smashed the window on. We got the window from the wreckers and I can't remember it taking Pete more than a couple of hours all up to fix?

Different car but still Nissan with all electric bits etc.

Surprised also if there's not a tutorial on here how to do it somewhere.

Hi Eric - have done it twice on my 32

It's not complex at all but the first time will take 1-2hrs. It's mainly about the angle of getting glass out/in.

Make certain you give it a great vacuum if the glass has shattered.

It gets every where but particularly on the brushes and inner/outer window strips

Which means if you don't do it properly your new (2nd hand) window will scratch-up the first time you put it up/down.

It's 10 minst to get the door card off and all the window switches out and unplugged

bout 10-20 to undo the nuts holding the window in

bout 10-20mins removing the window - but if yours is shattered just the thourough vacuum and removal of broken glass.

I did it alone but it would be a lot easier if there are 2 of you. Just balancing the window, slotting it in and doing the nuts up whilst the other holds the galss in place.

TFE mate.

$150 for a window and $300 to install it.

How hard are they to install? Anyone have any idea?

Cheers.

It wont be too hard would just need 2 sets of hands to do it.

I might be able to assist tomorrow night if you need

yeah DIY is very do-able, cleaning it out is the pain as said above. Also check for rust in the channel that holds the window, and also rust or damage to the "waist mould" that goes along the top of the door.

the only other issue can be adjusting the window afterwards (we had heaps of trouble in the 350z) but I think a 33 should be old enough to just do a straight replacement without any annoying adjustments.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
