I have an R32 GTS-t And for some reason when the window is down and while driving the whole door seems to bounce around, up and down! And i was thinking it was the bolt loop that holds the door closed, because the plastic on the loop was worn out.. so i got a new one.. but the door has rooted it already!

the pas side door doesnt do it at all, and the plastic on the loop bolt is in perfect condition..

Has anyone else had this problem, and been able to sort it?

It may even be a hinge problem, tho i have never had to adjust the hinge, I DONT KNOWWWWWW.

HELP ME

With the door open, grab it and try to move it up and down, if it moves its the hinges or thier mounts, if not it could be the latch in the body or the door is out of true, the screws holding them in have adjustment in them for movement for proper alignment, look carefully at the good latch (passenger door) and try to identify the wear marks/positioning to each other and try to do the same for the other latch (drivers door) one part moves up and down and the other sideways if I remember rightly.

From what you have said it seems to be the body part of the latch that is too low and doesnt fully support the weight of the door or could be the door part is too high, just to cover everthing Hahahaha.

Thanks alot for the reply, that sounds like a good idea, move the door when open and see if its the hinge or something else... Will try this in the morning wish me luck, cause i HATE it jumping around like it does :thumbsup:

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
