Afternoon,

Recently my window motor died, more so - while it was down about an inch.

I have to keep it inside in case it rains, and cant park it outside - and for the life of me i cant figure out how to get the dam motor out!

Its an r32 coupe, drivers side.

I've checked the amp with a multimeter and its putting out 12v - and power is making it through the plug that connects to the motor.

But as the motor is behind the door frame i cant actually figure out how to get it out?

From what i can see i need to have the window down to remove some of the window bracket bolts, which i assume hold the motor in place.

But as the window is up, and wont wind down (even used something to try pry the gearing with).

Has anyone done this before? - i want to fix this ASAP.but am running out of ideas - a shops quoted 170 for parts an labour but i can get my own motor for cheap and im more than happy to fix it myself.

So you managed to get all the door interior parts off I'm assuming? Kind of hard for me to get a grip on where you are exactly in your situation, mind posting some pictures?

Only have the door card off :wave:

As i cant get the window down im unsure what to do :/

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
