hey guys...well my drivers side pwr window has finally decided to cack it. it started makin this terrible gurgling noise when i went to put it down and just stopped. after a long pokin session yesterday i finally got the window back up by pressin the switch and manually pushin the window up from the cavity of the door to help the motor along. im assuming the motor is on its last legs. just wanted to know where exactly is the motor found in side the door and is it easy to change?? attached is a pic of where i think the motor is. any hints tips would be apreciated

Pretty close. move the circle about 10cm right and 10cm down and that's where the motor and drive gear are.

To get it all out, you have to unbolt at about 4 points. I can't add to your image at the moment, but you have to unbolt the bar from the bottom of the glass, the two bolts that are in the slots above the large hole. You don't have to move that long vertical bar to the right that the window runs down.

Basically, the whole mechanism is a scissoring setup... disconnect all the bolts, undo it from the glass, fold it down, then you can pull it out through that large cavity. I'll tell you now, be VERY careful when removin the motor/gear from the 'frame' thing once you've got it all out of the door. There's a high pressure spring on there. When I took mine off, it whipped around and sliced straight through my thumbnail.

You'll have to have it up to unbolt the lower mechanism, then the glass will slide down of it's on weight... might want to ask someone to hold it for you until you're ready... then let it slide down, wiggle off the bar that attaches to the glass, collapse the whole thing and slide it out the hole.

My thumb is not famous, it just has many friends.

And yeah, it's roughly the same to put back in as taking out. Probably easier, because you know where it all goes.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
