Hey there guys I've recently have this window problem just wondering if any of you guys have faced a similar issue and know how do i fix this. It started when my door actuators died so I brought my car to a car electrical shop. They tested popped up the bonnet and connected a lead to test the wiring system under the steering and inside of the door trim. after testing they said my alarm module might have died or something and my actuator's dead. (I've already told them in the first place that the actuators dead and thought they might have a universal one and mod it into my car). so i've never heard from my mechanic that my module was dead before so i said ok. they screwed back my door trim and i drove back home. half way out of the shop i noticed my power window (driver side) does not go up automatically. it only goes up manually. and when either door (passenger/driver) is opened, the window drops down like 1/4. I'm not sure what caused this and any advise would be great.

on a side note i brought my car to my mechanic and they tried the "reset" method after doing some research on the net and it still didn't work. window still drops when the door is open and stays there when closed.

i was pretty pissed as i paid 90$ to the so called electricians to "diagnose" my car's problem to get the windows not working. now I'm lost on what to do next. any advise?

Get the credit card out and bend over. That's not going to be a cheap exercise. Both door looks and both window motors need doing on top of the stereo you asked me about. Get ready to shell out $2k .

If it gets stuck down and you want it to go up. Open the door and while holding the Window switch up close the door with a bit of force (don't slam it) and that should do it.

Works everything for me.

The motors and regs in these doors are common fault. Reg + motors new from Nissan are about 800 for the both per door (give or take I bit)

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 馃槑
