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~!

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
