Welcome Owlse,

You wont regret it, but probably the wrong place to get an unbiased view. I owned a Lexus gs300 before and although a good car the 350gt feels more of a drivers car and gets far more reaction and talking points than the Lexus ever got. The biggest plus for me though was being able to go to the Japanese performance car shows and meets which enables you to mix with some people that have built some truely monster cars. Be prepared to get the bug though.

 

Hey thanks for the welcome
great looking car by the way , the soarer is great but is getting a little old now ,even though it was so advanced for its time
will take a look around this forum and try and get some unbiased views lol
only thing i dont like it that oem grill lol

 

Cant get the file from the 350z meet at TDI s to load,keeps coming up invalid.
Andy/ Tom if you send me your e mail address by pm I can send it over to you

X over,if you go on to the general G35 forums and search for door actuator,then scroll down until you reach a thread from gizsf,he tells you how to fix your problem without getting new parts,also loads of posts of similar problems .Hope this helps mate
Rob

If so am not a mechanic by any means ( don't even have a spanner ).

But willing to try anything to fix the problem.

Have you got any idea how much the parts are going to cost yet?

 

Here you go Rob

you just need to open a youtube account for free to upload videos etc.

Thanks but reseting assumes you are accustomed with the part. I do not even know what an actuator is ( if this is the offical name of the part I am looking for )

I've been searching through the manuals for the window motor ( actuator? ) and even this is proving difficult

Like I said I'm not a mechanic. Put a computer in front of me and I'm a up and coming Guru but spanners and clenches!?£$

 

OJ
thats one reply,there are many others including the one Andy sent you.
It appears to be a common problem over there,but it looks like a good idea to get some one to try the reset button on the widow motor !!!

 

Thanks Tom,should have known that !!!

 

Sure definitely planning to do that ( was part of my weekend TTD, [things to do] )

Have read a great deal of posts on this site concerning the issue I have. There are a lot of different solutions. Some people have flat out bought a replacement, some have bought nissan equivalents, some have taken the unit apart, some have pressed the reset, some have dismantled the whole door and reassembled.

All have reported a degree of success. All of which I am prepared to investigate and try ( that's what my weekend will be ).

I am just trying to following all possible solutions while also being very honest about my current abilities to achieve each one.

Hope no one feels I am not taking their valuable help seriously as this is definitely not the case .

Still really interested in the cost of the motor as this is one of the solutions I still hope to try.

 

Hi OJ.

Just a quick update. I've just looked at my door actuator (the one I took out cos it stopped working) and I can now confirm that there is no reset button. In fact it's a sealed unit and although its not totally impossible to open it up, it would be a nightmare to try and put back together.
And for you and anyone who doesn't know what an actuator is:
In the end of both doors, there's a door lock. On the back of the lock (the bit you can't see inside the door) is a plastic box (easiest way to describe it). There are three cables coming out of it and one female electrical multi-pin socket. The three cables connect to: the outside door handle; the inside handle and the inside door lock control. When you use your key fob this is what locks & unlocks your door.

Hope this helps.

 

Andy,just about to try to source new ones from across the pond !!
Do you think they are not the same as JDM models ???
Rob

 

OJ we all seem to have snagging lists,I am going to get in touch with Cartronics again to see if they can sort the problem at a reasonable cost ??
Bit like you,bit nervous about taking big tools to my motor !!!!!!!
Rob

 

Thanks Airsoft Andy for that explanation.
Unless It also effects the window mechanism I do not think I have a problem with the actuator


My problem is with the passenger side window motor. This is what I'm looking to solve. It is my believe that it is this motor that is malfunctioning.
