coco: Join the club mate its frustrating i know.

I bought my car almost 4mths ago, when i first got it everything was 100%. About 1mth into it the driver-side window would sorta work when it wanted too. I'd just give a gentle whack to the electric window switch/buttons on the driver-side door and it would "all of a sudden" start working again and/or open/close my door and it would work.

But now 2mths later my driver-side door just refuses to work (luckily its closed completely). I've taken the 2 little circuit boxes out and had a look at them, the 1 with the faulty switch has afew dirty looking solder joints on it which i suspect is what the problem is but im yet to find a replacement.

(Gonna try JustJap tomorrow when they re-open).

Fixed my problem today and it took me all of 20mins and $0.

The problem was 3 loose wires that connect to the black box motor inside the door frame. I put them back in and wrapped about 4 metres of tape around it to secure them in place then put it through its paces of about 30 up/downs and it didn't miss a beat.

:P

omg - well i kinda fixed mine... well sorta...

me and a buddy used an external 12v supply and connected it straight to the motor for the windows... wihtout doing so, the windows were pretty much locked down and unable to be moved up, but connecting an external 12v power to the motor allowed the window to be pulled up with alot of difficulty.

weird though, coz when using a multimeter to check to see if current was running through the existing connection, it showed a smooth approx. 12v or so. meaning that with all original connections there should be no reason why the windows dont work. so why the switch didn't work was beyond us? the window was only moveable when using an external 12v power source.

but anyway, my windows are now about 98% up, without only a few millimeters of gap for rain water to get it, but luckily i have the rain slats over the windows. :P

good thing i didn't take those ugly slats off... even though they're all sh!tty and faded. basically after all this bordem, my windows are almost up and completely stuck! at least i can park my car at places now. :D w00t~!

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
