I get this same problem. Anyone who gets in the car for the first time chringes with the noise.

If there is someway to fix it, I'd love to. It sounds aweful! The only time my trim has been taken off is when I got the windows tinted. My b/f said something about the glass not being in the track properly or something....

Anyone got anyway of fixing it??

I had the same problem. I took it to Nissan, who fixed it - apparently it's a loose bolt or something in the winding mechanism. You need to remove the door panel to fix it.

It doesn't take long to do (it took my garage less than 30 minutes) and when it's done you can wind up and down in silence...:)

Does anyone else get that loud clunk when you try to wind up the window when it is currently only 5 inches of the way down ?

To demonstrate it for yourself, start with window closed...Then open the window a bit to hear that skyline guys sick exhaust note next to you at the lights...After he's launched it at the lights and you seem unimpressed at the effort, close your window all the way...and...CLUNK

Demon Dave is right.

I had this same problem, sounded like the window was going to break every time. I pulled the door trim off, and adjusted the rails, and tightened the bolts, as some were loose. No it makes no sound...

Just pull your door trim off, and watch your window go up and down, you'll figure it out...

if it only makes the noise when the door is closed, its prolly coz

when the door close the window is forced outwards by the seals as it goes up.

sounds like something is bent out of alignment or the window has dropped at one end.

does one end of the window "drop" first when you start to wind it down from the closed position with the door closed?

one of these days i will fix my own drivers side window - hadnt worked for about 8mths. funny how you get used to things :D

this could be worth a try....

with the trim off, from memory you will see 2 adjuster bolts at the top of the door at each end of the window. these can be loosened off and slid up and down to adjust angle etc.

its possible one of these might have moved/dropped.

you can usually see where the original factory position was due to scratches and marks on the paint.

mark the current positions of the bolts before you start moving them so you can move them back if you need to.

the side that drops down first when you start winding the window down is the side i would raise a tad.

dan_the_man Prepsol will get silicon off , not sure about on tinted windows tho , but its used to prep paintwork .

I just recently had my door trims off to fix my door locks after having central locking hooked up to the alarm (they left a retaining hook unattached ) . I thought I'd have a look at the clunky windows while it was all off . Once the door trims are off , peel back the plastic so you can see inside the door cavity .

I found that adjusting the two top brushes eliminated the wobble in the windows . Also the window was coming down unevenly . There is an adjusting rail right in the middle of the door . It has 2 6mm nuts about 20cm apart u need to undo . Play around with this until you work out the right way to move it to make the window go up and down evenly . Worked for me .

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
