Wtb: R33 Gtst Power Window Switches & Mechanism


Recommended Posts

I have a spare mechanism from when I fixed mine, but it can take hardly any weight and would need to be pulled apart to see if the stupid little plastic gears are okay. I ended up pulling the motor apart and fixing my existing one after finding the one I bought online was weak as all sh*t. I'll pull it apart tomorrow and see if I can fix it if I get time :) if I can you can have it for free, nice to empty the spare room a bit...

The actual switch is generally a burnt out solder isn't it? If it's series 2 then generally the relay dies, and series 1/1.5 the board in the switch itself (because there is no relay) burns out. Look for cracks and little black marks :)

cheers bud let me know if its ok or i can do it myself, ill have another look at the switches tomorrow :)

Pulled it out of the cupboard and pulled the whole thing to pieces, there were some half eaten cog pieces laying around near the worm gear which may have been causing some issues. When I pulled the shell off the motor itself though it smelt burnt and looked a little black, when I last tested it everything worked but just not well, so hopefully it's still all good. Come around and grab it, if it doesn't work just shove it on the tip :) I did the install 3 times (what you get for not testing the strength before starting, then turning the magnetic casing upside down on my current one which made it all in reverse) so if you need a hand or you're having particular trouble with any part give me a yell.

Where abouts are you located? I'm down in Kingston and can make short trips around the place atm (currently soaking up some of my 3 months time in lieu) so let me know.

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
