No, not the Microsoft kind

My passenger side power window shit itself ages ago and I have made do with 2 bits of string til now

Now the drivers side window is farked

Are their any alternatives to Nissans rip off prices Wreckers carrying Patrol stuff are pretty thin on the ground in Wagga

There's an amazing thing called mail or freight. Try the wreckers hotline. You'll find a lot of stuff around SE QLD.

As long as you dont want body panels they all come with free rust from SE Qld

www.apraa.com - go to online parts locator and wreckers will email you within 24 hours during business week

Thanks

do you have a gq?
or what?
cos with gq's you can convert elec windows back to old armstrong type just by cuttin hole in door an d geting manual typ
just my 2 cents if you dont want to come up with dosh

Yes, its a GQ ('92 ST)

I dont think the conversion is that simple as I have the arm rests with the buttons. And if I am going to replace that, I may aswell just get the internals fixed.

Plus, I think the bit that is farked is the scissor mechanism or the splined centre. Which would still need to be replaced if I went back to manual windows

Thanks anyways

Damn public holiday No returns from any wreckers yet

And of course, now that my window is farked it hasnt stopped raining

is it just the splined plastic thing thats fucked?

SOmeone mentioned they got a brass one made up, but cant find the info I got 2 that wont lower anymore... :(

Yes, it appears it is the shithouse plastic cog thingy

But is is not the one in the power window motor section that you can eyeball - it is the plastic cog thingy in the window scissor mechanism. This is the one you cannot get to As the whole thing is pressed in/sealed

Check the pics

not sure, but others have mentioned they got brass ones made up

i need some too if anyone has any info

I sent the email on Sunday when you posted - not one email back

Does anyone have any of these scissor mechanisms for a GQ ? Working obviously

Anyone ?

I have no windows atm Lucky its winter in Wagga and farkin cold

I know Hall 4x4 Salvage have the scissor mechanisms new for not too expensive. They are just around he corner from work, so I could find out on Monday how much they are. I could sort out getting one sent up to you too.

I got the mechanism form HAlls for $80 few months ago.
They are also on Ebay cheaper.

You have to replace the whole winding mechanism arm thingy if that cog has shat itself, cost me about 160 bucks. 125 bucks for the set up mech from nissan and 35 bucks to get it fitted ( I couldnt do it myself, I had a dislocated shoulder at the time...I tried and almost farked my shoulder more) Mine died in february, apparantly not that much trouble to do yourself, its just a PITA fidgeting around in the door. I would have shopped around for a cheaper one but I lived right in the city and my car was parked outside so I sorta wanted it done asap

i have a pair of regs, secondhand available for $110 pair including postage

pm me if your interested

Its called a window regulator. There have been a number of discussion about this on Patrol4x4.COM and here also. The ones on ebay are cheap but apparently do not last very long. If you are good at welding or have a buddy who will do it for a flat, it can be taken apart and welded. Again the info is on Patrol4X4.com. I had to pay $200 for mine ordered in from Nissan in Japan to Canada. It should not be anywhere near that price for you guys. Next time, it will be welded! Faster and cheaper. Cheers

You could try this place. I got injectors VERY cheap -----
