My R32 GTS4 coupe has just broken a wire cable in the driver's door electric window assembly. It still has power etc and when you look down into it you can see the wire drum revolving with the broken end of wire rotating around it. I've pulled the interior trim off the door but the area where the wire is is inside the structural part. This wire is what drives the window go up and down.

How do you fix this sort of thing? Or where I can find a replacement part? :rofl:

I recently fixed an R31 mechanism with 225lb steel trace from the fishing shop and it works sweet.......BUT

the job was a major pain and I only did it cos I couldn't get a new mechanism. (The 31 one is very similar to the 32 but different enough not to fit. I would have happily paid $150 for a new mechanism instead of repairing it.

My advice comes with a hidden agenda though... I've got the one you need 4 sale!

pm me if interested, but check to see if you can get a cheap one locally

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
