Ok well it started off like this, After buying my 1996 Series 2 R33 GTS, i found after having the window down for 30 minutes or so it wouldn't go back up (Did once, after sitting for a while but then stupidly put it back down), thought fine ive read about this its the relay. So i opened up the door, had a very quick look in the relay and couldn't find any bad solders as such.

As i was in the market for a Right hand side mirror and the surrounding of the switch controls i decided to purchase a 1996 R33 Series 2 GTS-T Door from this guy http://www.skylinesa...arts-available/, so i could also salvage the relay and window controls, and in the worst case the motor. After opening up the GTS-T's door i found the window controls and they plugged straight into my GTS, The window lock feature, car lock and the passenger side window buttons all work, still the drivers side fails to work, ( The " AUTO " light on the drivers side switch does light up) so i thought it must be the relay.

I went to switch over the relays and i had a problem, the GTS-T's Relay has a black and a red wire seem to be coming from it whilst my GTS does not, also the GTS-T's relay is black and my GTS relay is white? They are both 1996 r33 series 2, but one is obviously a gtst and the other a gts.

Does anyone know what these wires do? am i able to cut and tape them and connect the gtst relay to my gts? do i have to re-wire anything? All help is appreciated and the window is stuck down.

Will try and get pictures of the GTS door but currently only have pics of the gtst's door and the two wires coming off of it.(Comp is f-ing up so cant get pics atm sorry)

r33's above 1995 (series 1.5 and 2) dont use the relay you are talking about, its in the switch for them. Its probably the regulator motor, i had the same problem. It didnt even make a groan like most motors do it when they die.

Those wires do look like there for the alarm

Thanks forthe reply, just un plugged what i have in the picture and put on the gts, Nothing different. Unplugged it off the gts and still the same, even the passenger window still worked with it unplugged, so must have nothing to do with the windows at all. So yes it is either the motor or both switches have bad joints, will open them both up tonight. Thanks

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
