hi, just wondering if the window motors on a R33gtst are a sealed unit or not?? bcoz my auto elect said he can replace the brushes in it if its not a sealed unit?? can anyone help with this. (ive read all the post on window motors) and by the way does any1 know how much it costs for a secondhand motor if they are a sealed unit and i cant do it that way??

no theyre not a sealed unit...very easy to open. my old one looks like it only needs the bush replaced to work again. prices vary from 120 -150 and u can interchange the passanger/driver motors with each other by swaping the gears around.

just for reference.

the r32 motor is the same as the r33 motor, but the unit connected to it with the plastic cogs in it is not. I found this out on the weekend when i scored a r33 unit for free from a mate only to find it wasnt my motor that was munted, but the plastic cogs :cheers:

so if anyone has the unit, you have a buyer right here!

i have a spare one at home which is a mates, i will contact him today.

He will most likely want around 100-150 for it as he bought the whole window unit that lifts the window up and down aswell.

um i read that u have to change something in the driver side to the passenger side one if u swap sides. and also i just bought 1 today! for $285!!! damn!!!!!! bcoz my auto elct said he could only get one through his supplier and it was $365!!!!!!!!! and thats just the motor with no window regulator (have 2 use old stuff) so i thought i had a good deal!!!! so i went and got the one for $285 and it has a window reg and all with it. damn seciondhand parts should be controlled by someone, the wreckers are going out of control with pricing! one will sell you something for a good price and up the road there charging 100's more. its crazy. oh well, thanx for trying anyway. it goes in on friday to get fixed. hope i never have to fix one of these again. xpensive buggers!!!!!!!

i got it off demon who was wreckin his gtr and it was only the motor that i needed, he gave me a very good and fair deal, it would have come with the attaching arms but i didnt need it ......why replace everything else when it aint broke..thats my logic:D:D someone esle here on the forum picked up one from a wrecker for $120 just the motor.

well mine is all fixed now. but when i went to pick the car up the auto elct said he had bad news for me?? i said what is it?? and he said i think your master switch on your driver side is stuffed too, coz he couldnt get the passenger side window to go up or down on either switch, but the driver side one was still going and the door lock thingy. so i took the car and started to drive home and when i was a the lights round the corner, i seen the lock button for the passener window was on!!!!!!! so i went back and told him , and now he is kickn him self, he spent hours trying to figure out why the was no power going to the passenger window, and all it was was the lock button cutting off the power supply to the window! classic!!! he didnt even think of that, but he tried everything else!!! so im glad i didnt go and buy another part for the drivers window.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
