Hi,

Recently my r33 got broken into, by using a cro bar. They put the cro bar in between the window and door, and bent the hell out of the door. I got the door fixed, and my windows re-aligned at O'briens Windows for automotive, but they cannot get the allignment 100% how it used to be. The window doesnt seal the rubber fully and when you wash the car a bit of water would leak into the car. I also had to replace the rubber seal around the window because they slashed it. And also just before the window is fully closed, the windows tilts slightly sideways.

O'Briens windows told me most likely the window mechanism is bent or wrecked somewhere.

Has this happened to anyone with a 2 door R33, or does anyone know what part of the window mechnism i have to change???

thanks dudes!

Geez, that's pretty rude of whoever did that. I'm not sure what parts you need to change but would it be better to try and source a complete door from a wrecker? If you can't replace the entire door then perhaps you'll be able to pull out all the guts of a door to use in yours. Is this covered under insurance or are you having to pay for it out of your own pocket?

Only got third party insurance, so far i've got da door fixed, so it looks normal now, and a new window rubber seal, costed a grand, but now i've got to change the whole guts of the window, cause its probably bent somewhere inside.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
