Hey guys, my Drivers door window winder has screwed itself. its been having issues for a while but it has finally carked it, so much so my window wont stay up which obviously isnt good for rain or locking the car. thought id put a thread up before i go to a wrecker...

anyone got a spare mechanism and wire lying around? lol or know where i can get a cheap one? wreckers near me are asking $50 which i reckon is ****e.

anyways if anyone can help me out itd be very appreciated!

cheers big4

Use this as a reason for you to upgrade to power windows man. Only around $200 off rapid electronics.

www.rapidelectronics.com.au

Or add rapidelectronics@hotmail.com to msn he's always online.

I paid $299 for mine about 1½ years ago for the TS. Auto elec did it for me in 1 hour for $100.
Most you guys can do it yourself but :D

Mine was off ebay from the same bloke (rapidelectronics) but from the website RRP is $599 for the 4 door set.

Add him to your msn and ask him about it. Mine were $299 for the whole kit. Even comes with universal covers for the existing wind up latch once you remove that so there are no holes in the door!

Definitely worth it.
Wind up windows suck ass.
Even a 1986 Sigma GSR has electric windows lol

Hmm... :doubt:

Maybe you can ask him why it's so expensive now.
Wonder if this would be cheaper than getting the power window parts from a wrecked verada and putting them in. For sure would be cheaper than grabbing all the doors from a wreck and stuff right?

Just remember that your standard regulators are still used.

If you are able to the far better option is to go to a self serve wrecker and obtain the genuine units. Even if you end up using your won wiring for them it is not that hard to wire up. Is also a lit neater as you hve then the original switches etc.

I don't suppose the 1st gen ones are the same? If so, I have some :-)

my 100kW Barina (1000kg) would struggle to do a low 15, i fail to see how a heavier car with less power could get a low 16 :doubt:

No just saying, If a V6 manual Can only manage a 16.5 (which is still ok) Like its going to need ALOT of work to take probably more then a second off your current ET. Actually more then, Cause an auto TR V6 will pull a 17.
But umm i have faith.....Dunno what your gonna do or how but dont spend too much money on something that will only pull a low 16 ;)

You're sweet then. I got my p's ages ago and the non turbo/sc/v8 law came in and i was still on green p's and it doesn't apply.

Only after the laws come out and you get your p's then game over. Restricted to charade's and starlets
