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.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
