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.

    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
