My window on the R32 fell down inside the door and now won't wind back up. Just when I closed it today it made a lound clunk noise and I went to open it again. That's when it just slid down. It doesn't sound like it's rattling or anything so I don't know if it's fallen of its tracks or something else. I will be taking the door apart tomorrow and removing the sound deadening to have a look. I just want to know what the general problem could be as I don't really know how the window mechanism operates.

Anyone know how to remove the assembly. I've taken the 4 bolts of and tried lifting the whole thing out including the window, but there's not enough clearance at the top for it to come out. Do I need to remove the window first? I've attacted a picture of the 4 botls that I took off.

on another note, does anyone know if it's possible to get the window to go back up and stay up? (given that it will probably take at least 2 days to get a new assembly sent here if it's the cause)

pillars.. maybe to the roof.. unless you wanted to jam a block underneath? maybe more difficult though.. Just do the bogan thing.. plastic and tape around the outside..

FFS. new assembly has arrived, and went in fine, however I was foolishly trying to do the locating nuts up as tight as they were beforehand and one snapped off. The other snapped off taking it off.

Low quality pics show what I mean here, the red circle is the head of the nut which has snapped off. Is it possible to get these re threaded in some way or am I just going to have to get a new window. fml

1. You have a red square, and blue circles.. i am going to assume the red square (not circle) is the head of the bolt/threaded bar and the blue circles are where they snapped..

what is on the other side of the threaded bar, or did you screw the threaded bar in? if so i would look at drilling a hole in the middle of the threaded bar and using a screw extractor kit to get it out and replace it..

is that what you are looking to do? pics are pretty bad..

pretty much, and yeah after i'd uploaded them to my computer noticed that i had gunk on my phone camera lens.

there is a flat side like a rivet on the other side of the threads, going to look at just getting another window before the thread replacement option. my inital reaction was FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I figured that I am probably not the first person to do this, but wasn't sure if it was one of those kind of things which are set into the glass at the factory while it is still hot etc. My failure was in attempting to tighten them up to the point as they were when I took the window out.

Spose that will teach me to tighten things up too fkn much.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
