Hi just woundering if anyone can assist?

Iv had a 370gt coupe for about 6 months now with 60,000kms and have had an issue with the window drop.

The window drop works fine but is noisy and very harsh,as u open the door the window drops very fast and seems to be dropping a tad too far and wen it drops the whole door shakes and once in the car as it raises back up it makes a slight click sound.

I'm assuming it's the regulators,cable stretched or just worn out. ?

Hope someone can help

Iv had the door trim off once to have a quick look and install some extra sound proofing but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary,mind u it's hard to see the important stuff involved with the regulators until u remove the pressed panel that it's all assembled on.

I mentioned it to Nissan yesterday while it was in for service but they seem to think it's normal,I'm nearly 99% sure it's not right lol.

I looked at a 370gt a few years ago while I still had my 350gt,which had a similar issue and that's the first thing I noticed was how much better,smoother and more refined the 370 was,I think it was a tad newer but the window drop was perfect only dropped like 10mm n was barely noticeable,none of this door shaking n noise garbage lol.

Iv really got a feeling it's the regulators that have flogged out.

I can't find anything on line about it either.

I remember the upgraded Maxima ones were then changed to metal so perhaps not plastic these days.

All I can say is my '09 model doesn't act that way. It's a smooth small drop, a slight vibration can be felt in the door but nothing significant and then it comes back up with a gentle thud as all windows do. The only click I get is the sound of the relay.

Oh sweet thanks for the feedback,surely your 09 would have the same window regulators as an 07 cos I'd be keen to buy new regulators,possibly using the vin from your 09..

I might ring Nissan on Monday and get the exact part number on the regulators for my car and possibly they might know if it is the same for the 09,failing that I could quote the vin off your car as well n see if the part numbers line up the same.

      Dragging some reo behind a ute or trailer will smooth out a dirt road, I've used reo a few times to do unsealed road maintenance when we didn't have any plant available  It's best done when the dirt is wet though, and then you just let it dry out for a day to harden up For wetting the dirt I've used some 44 gal drums in a ute or trailer, and a water pump connected to a hose with a old sprinkler tied to the reo to wet the material down whilst spreading Basically just drive slowly up and down the road a few times dragging a few sheets of reo wired together with the sprinkler wetting it all down as you go

      I did a motokhana years ago with ??Sydney Sporting Car Club???, it was on a grassy paddock and was heaps of fun, I think it was north west Sydney IIRC The old R33 boat was covered in grass and dirt, but nothing that a good wash and detail didn't fix And thinking back, when SAU did the airstrip run in Goulburn years ago, where the old 33 won highest RWD MPH, the quickest RWD ET on the airstrip, and best paint IIRC (before the runs down the airstrip) the damage to the rear quarters from stones flicking up required them the get a respray  I would definitely do a grass motokhana again in the MX5 Who knows someone that owns a farm with a big empty paddock  Liability these days is a big issue though

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
