My passenger window for R32 has stopped working.. sort of...

It can be wound down using the passenger and drivers side controls for the passenger window but can only be brought up with the drivers side controls.

when the passsenger side control is used to wind the window up it moves slightly then looks as though it jams but if the drivers one is used it then goes straight up as normal.

Any sugestions????

Thanks in advance

I had exactly the same problem. One of your contacts is not contacting anymore, makes sense.....

You need to pop out the switch (you can choose to take the whole door trim off if you like, it's less fiddly) and open up the switch area. Be careful to pry it open slowly so you don't lose any parts, which I almost did, and all I did was just bend the metal contact so that it was sure to make contact.

*** Don't bend it too much, because that may mean your motor will be 'on' all the time, and burn out.

Test it out while you still have it out, if it works pop it back in and you're done.

Yep, i'm with Fixxxer. I had the exact same problem with my R32 GTS-T when I got it. Just pry the switch out of the door trim and open it up. As Fixxxer said, be careful. Keep the switch horizontal to the ground to keep the loose metal contacts from falling out. You can then clean each metal piece and its contact with fine sandpaper, a screwdriver, whatever, and put it back together again.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
