hi, just wondering if the window motors on a R33gtst are a sealed unit or not?? bcoz my auto elect said he can replace the brushes in it if its not a sealed unit?? can anyone help with this. (ive read all the post on window motors) and by the way does any1 know how much it costs for a secondhand motor if they are a sealed unit and i cant do it that way??

no theyre not a sealed unit...very easy to open. my old one looks like it only needs the bush replaced to work again. prices vary from 120 -150 and u can interchange the passanger/driver motors with each other by swaping the gears around.

just for reference.

the r32 motor is the same as the r33 motor, but the unit connected to it with the plastic cogs in it is not. I found this out on the weekend when i scored a r33 unit for free from a mate only to find it wasnt my motor that was munted, but the plastic cogs :cheers:

so if anyone has the unit, you have a buyer right here!

i have a spare one at home which is a mates, i will contact him today.

He will most likely want around 100-150 for it as he bought the whole window unit that lifts the window up and down aswell.

um i read that u have to change something in the driver side to the passenger side one if u swap sides. and also i just bought 1 today! for $285!!! damn!!!!!! bcoz my auto elct said he could only get one through his supplier and it was $365!!!!!!!!! and thats just the motor with no window regulator (have 2 use old stuff) so i thought i had a good deal!!!! so i went and got the one for $285 and it has a window reg and all with it. damn seciondhand parts should be controlled by someone, the wreckers are going out of control with pricing! one will sell you something for a good price and up the road there charging 100's more. its crazy. oh well, thanx for trying anyway. it goes in on friday to get fixed. hope i never have to fix one of these again. xpensive buggers!!!!!!!

i got it off demon who was wreckin his gtr and it was only the motor that i needed, he gave me a very good and fair deal, it would have come with the attaching arms but i didnt need it ......why replace everything else when it aint broke..thats my logic:D:D someone esle here on the forum picked up one from a wrecker for $120 just the motor.

well mine is all fixed now. but when i went to pick the car up the auto elct said he had bad news for me?? i said what is it?? and he said i think your master switch on your driver side is stuffed too, coz he couldnt get the passenger side window to go up or down on either switch, but the driver side one was still going and the door lock thingy. so i took the car and started to drive home and when i was a the lights round the corner, i seen the lock button for the passener window was on!!!!!!! so i went back and told him , and now he is kickn him self, he spent hours trying to figure out why the was no power going to the passenger window, and all it was was the lock button cutting off the power supply to the window! classic!!! he didnt even think of that, but he tried everything else!!! so im glad i didnt go and buy another part for the drivers window.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
