Some f**king assholes broke into my R33 last night.

They didn't take anything because well.. I had nothing in there lol.

I also removed the negative terminal on the battery since I hardly drive it.

They pried open the drivers side window since they are pillarless and shoved their hand in to pull the unlock switch.

Now my windows f**ked cause it's out of place and when I try to open and close it by using the window switch, there's a loud clunk.

Anyone know how to open up the R33 drivers side door and get to the window unit?

Thats bad luck mate. To remove the trim take off the cap thats inside your hand well on the door then remove screw. lift up the switch panel and unplug. remove all the screws along the bottom of door then pull trim away again at bottom of door a little bit then tap up which should part the top of the trim along the window edge. Remove the plastic carefully and you should then see the window mechanism. you will need to put plastic back on after

Thanks for the help mate but I don't know how to lift up the switch panel. I already removed that screw in the hand well but the switch panel will not budge.

Do I also have to remove the door handle card because I'm finding it extremely difficult to undo the door handle clip.

looks like you leave the switch plate attached to the card you disconnect it from behind once you undo card from door. to get the door opener surround off just put your fingers behind one of the corners and pull on it its cliped in. give that a try

I can't undo the card from the door because the switch plate is connected to something behind the card and my hand is too big to detach the connection :)

I just pulled my switch plate off, after the screw is out I put my arm along rest with my hand going over end of switch plate. I curled my fingers around and underneath the edge up the top of the switches and pulled up then the switch plate came out. it would only come off with leverage from the top. there is a clip between the hand hole and switches underneath the panel holding it to the door.

Thanks I removed the switch plate.

After I remove the plastic thing that covers the door, do I have to remove the steal frame behind it?

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
