Hey all. I have an R33 GTS-T and recently had trouble with the driver's side power window. The window is stuck down. I recently replaced the P/W regulator. I took my vehicle to the local auto elec and after testing confirmed the problem was most likely the P/W amplifier assy. I tracked down afew import mobs and they were'nt able to match the product numbers. Has anyone had a similar problem with their car and can possibly suggest a different problem to the amplifier assy. If you think it may be the amplifier assy does anyone know where I could find one. Cheers.

Had driverside issues for a while when i had the r33, the fault in mine was that the up/down switch for the drivers windows is worn/boroken - the window will be closed, however the window will still be either winding up/down all the time and wearing out the motor brushes.The drivers switch should recentre itself.

Heres my feable attempt to fix it. Your best chances are to look in the parts / wreaking for sale forum.

Power window

The buttons are the same for S1 and S2, however the circuit below the buttons are not.

- if your talking about this unit, - think they are the same as the r32, r33 and 180.

The other thing to try is to open it reheat the solder joints to eleminate dry joints.

If i knew that the driver side window switch was broken, i would have just preplaced that instead of fixing the pw motor every 3 months and bang the doors in fraustration.

i got this issue with my series 2 stagea, would the electric motor on the stagea be the same as the skyline? Havent got it tested yet but im assuming the motor died cause the window would go up slower and slower and one day nothing. Passenger side the switch only works from the drivers side

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
