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.

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
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.

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?

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.
