power windows in a s13?
 

I was thinking of putting at least one power window in my car. My previous car was a 240(not nissan....volvo station wagon) and had no power windows, so i'm used to rolling the driver side, but i'd be a really nice convenience to wire atleast the passenger side. I hate unbuckling my belt to reach over and attempt to roll the windows down with your outstrecthed index finger and thumb while the shiftknob is digging into your ribs. I was thinking of putting the window switch some where in the console like in BMW's, but i wanted to see if it was possible and/or if anyone had done a conversion.

what parts would i need, i would assume that most power window parts are universal for most cars.

dont they all come with power windows anyway?

nope i have a buddy with one that isnt power. and honestly i dont think it would me that hard. just time cosuming and you would have to find a power window to swap it with.

Mine doesnt have power windows at all. I feel the best way to do this easily, is get a passenger door with power window. Then just repaint the door and install it and wire it up. That is just my opinion, though

that would be easiest but it isnt all that hard to just swap the window regulater n stuff. just takes time.

I guess it wouldnt be too hard, never done it before myself.:dunno: Everything takes time

i did it before the drivers side of my ca was smashed when i got it and it needed a new door i went to pick n pull and they only had manual window cars. so i swapped my stuff for the manual stuff it had to go in through the top with the trim off. wasnt too bad its a lil tight gettin it in but overall it wasnt too bad.

what stuff went inside the door? i was just thinking of getting just any old window switch from any car and finding a way to hook it up, i'd figure that most manufacturers made them the same way or very similar.

if i did find doors of a power window s13, what would i hook the wires up to? would the manual window cars still have harnesses for the power windows, even if it didn't come with them?

hrm...

never seen an S13 without power windows before. must be a 240sx thing, to go with those weirdass auto seatbelts and ka24e engines.

i just swaped everything from my original power door to the manual one and hooked it up.
you would need alot more then just a switch.
if you pick up a custom car mag im sure it'll have an add for power window kit in it and im sure you could do that to your car.

i have a passenger power window motor from an s14 if you're interested...
i bought it thinking i needed to replace mine, but i already fixed it.
let me know if you're intesreted.
