Hi,

iv done a quick search and unless i don't know how to use it, i couldn't find anything relevant to my issue.

long story short i recently brought a R34 Gt-t skyline and i knew that it had this issue but figured it couldn't be too hard to fix.

The passenger window works fine when i use the switches on the driver side, goes up and down smoothly, but when using the switch on the passenger side the window will only go up, to go down i would need to do it from the driver side, not much of an issue but an issue non the less.

From my understanding it would have to be the switch as if it was the motor it wouldn't work at all, just wanting to get some info from people who know about or have had the issue and fixed it, i sourced a R34 passenger side switch, does it make a difference if it is a jdm r34 switch or not? just holding off on buying it until i know that is what i need to replace for sure.

Thanks in advance.

I've had no issues, but if driver side controls works fine up and down for passenger side, then it sounds like you have a problem with the wiring. Either you have done something recently to it and has cut or popped out a wire that runs the signal or it has, well cut or popped somehow.

Where in Sydney are you from? I could take a look if your near 2165?

Yeah I would be in due time, just not right now since I'd like to keep some controls of the car for now. If someone ends up buying the motor, then everything is sure to go.

My illustrated theory is attached :)

Ahh that's perfect thanks heaps man ill give it a look on Sunday

Switch mine failed once already , nissan solder joints suck and rain tends to drop right down on the armrest there if the window is cracked open

Series 1 and 2 cars use different switches that dont interchange , the cut off is 8/2000 and later is S2 , you can tell the series 2 switches are flat on the back white plastic area

Series 1 are bulged out

Series 1 uses normal size parts

Series 2 uses surface mount parts much smaller and a lot harder to resolder

Ahk thanks heaps, iv read a lot about Nissan solder joints being crap as my stock boost gauge kept playing up and it was the solder joints in the black box, thanks for all the info, stupid question but how do I rep?

Series 1 switches you can resolder if broken

Series 2 you need skills, static straps heat sinks, etc or you'll over heat the part and kill it

Easiest fix swap it out for a working one

I got a series 1 but more than likely ill just go buy another one, thanks for all the help

    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
