Against my better judgment I'm going to give this a go today to inspect the mechanisms that hold the glass, as the glass rattles, window up or down, and both sides too. I'm think there will be some locating lugs and they're worn.

Something like this thread but for the R32 GTR would be terrific but I can't find anything.

Can you link me up if there is something. If not, could someone give me some top tips. Hard to find screw locations, tricky bits, the overall order in which you go about it etc.

Thanks.

Here's one for the 33 also. Read this: http://www.skylinesa...rattling+window

The 32 is same and fairly easy and just use common sense

Door handle surround comes out easy (no screws)

Lift the electric window panel and remove cabling

Remove plug and screw from door handle insert, remove

Locate and remove the screws around the door card extremeties (about 5) none hidden

The door card is clipped in also. Remove with caution and use a flat head screw driver as close to each clip as you can

Lift the door card and jiggle till it is free

Ta Da

Adjust and re-assemble in reverse order

Otherwise that should be it. Once you remove the trim around the door handle, the plastic trim & screw for the door pull.

It should just pop off easily. The GT-T has an extra screw point up the front over a R33 GTR, so i'd say a R32 GTR wouldn't have this either.

There might also be 3 screws along the bottom of the door skin holding it in place.

Then just pry the locator plugs out (just slowly by hand is fine, start from the bottom), and then lift up and off it comes!

Argh me harties. All went to plan. Passenger side has a couple more screws. One is obvious as it's in the handle only on the passenger side and has a clip in cover over it. The other you need to pop out the window switch and it's sitting in behind there. Adjustment pretty easy. Took it for a quick drive and to an extent the adjustment has worked but there's still more rattling things in there.

Thanks for your input.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
