Hi all,

I am in the process of replacing my R32 sedan driver door as my current door is all dinged up. Now heres the problem:

I am having trouble locating where I can unplug the driver door wires so I can remove the door. Can someone tell me where to locate and unplug those wires? Do I need to take apart the dash to get to the wires plug?

Hey man,

There's no way of disconnected the loom. It's all connected to the main body harness if you know what I mean.

You have to take off your door card, unplug everything, and then feed the door loom through that hole you circled.

Hope that helps.

uuhhh, what are you on about?

there is a rubber plug if you follow that black cord back to the chassis of the car. you unplug that and there are two connectors which you disconnect. i have attached a really crap photo of the black rubber thing and the two connectors.

then just feed the whole lot back out through the hole and you can take your door off

also you may or may not have to take the front 1/4 guard off to get to the bolts that hold the door on. and its also an idea is to take the pin out of the thing that holds your door open before you take the bolts off. im talking about the rod thats just under the bit that you circled

trust me, its a bitch if you don't take it off first.

Cheers for the feedback.

I have decided to unplug it this way as I want to keep the original door loom. Just need to find the time to give this a try.

The problem was that I can't follow the black cord back to the chassis so I can disconnect the connectors/plugs. I tried to reach for the connectors/plugs from underneath where the pedals are but they are like hidden behind. Did u have to take out the dash to disconnect them?

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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
