R34 Gt Passenger Window Problem

The passenger side window is playing up on my R34 GT, the front of it goes down faster than the back, the back seems to get stuck, and then the whole window gets stuck and i cant get it down or up. If i open the door and push the button for awhile eventually it sometimes goes back up. But then it hit the seal on the door, and i cant close it unless the door is open anyway.

I havent owned my car for very long, and to my knowledge the previous owner didnt have this problem. However i think what has happened is the previous owner got his sound system professionally installed, and they messed it up. If i take off the door panel and try to see what is going on, i cant see anything wrong with the rollers, but there is a lot of speaker wiring in the door, and i think it is getting wrapped around the front roller of the window, so when i push the button it drags the front down and then gets stuck in the roller so the window cant move anymore...

I just wanted to find out if anyone else has had a problem like this with their window, or if you think it is those speaker cables? If you do think it is the cables, does anyone know how to get the glove box out? I presume the wiring would go behind the glove box, so if i could get it out then i could pull the excess wiring through from the door and cable tie it somewhere, but i cant see how to get the glove box out, ive removed all the screws i can see and it still wont budge at all.

Cheers for any help =]

Hey fella, i have had the same problem with my window too. When i wind it down it clicks alot and the front will go down first?? and when you wind it up the back will go up first and the front will follow?? i took my door card off to find out the problem and there is a little plastic bush on the window half scissor system and this has broken so its f**ked! i tried to glue it back together but snapped straight away again! maybe a new system will be needed?? if you get chance to look again just look where the arm meets the slider and it will be around there. hope this helps mate

found a similar problem with my 34 today, the drivers window keeps wanting to go down (i can put it up about 1/3rd of the way then it winds down again) the motor sounds fine, could be the relay i guess.. trying to figure out how to get the door skin off at the moment :D

Yeh that sounds pretty much like what it does. I guess it could be that, but i couldnt see anything with the actual window system that looked wrong, and my window is actually working pretty well now except that now the passenger side switch is broken and it can only be rolled up and down from the drivers side. Took the switch out and found that the little clips that hold the rocker in place have all snapped off, so i need to buy a new switch, which is f**ked!

Anyway, it appears to be working pretty well if i do it from the drivers side, it isnt going down on an angle anymore. Except the seal is coming off the door, so i have to open the door to wind it back up with the door open =[

Seriously, power windows are so shit, manual windows are so much better!

      Oem radio & steering wheel shroud for r33 (vic)

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.

      Compressor flow comparison table

      By Lithium · Posted

      A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
