How much would it cost to change Manual Windows to Power? for a 240sx hatch?

[IrvinAmbil]

First off im pretty sure this is somewhere else in the forum i unfortunately dont really have too much time to read and look for it.

So i was wondering if anyone has had this done already and how much it cost them? Parts and all.

it shouldnt be to hard
a friend of mine did it on his 240
all you really need is to know how to wire and you need a power window wire harness and the switchs other than that i dont think you need anything else

[IrvinAmbil]

I really dont know how to wire anything or do anything mechanically at all, im straight noob at this :P!.
But imma look around at shops to see how much they would charge, does anyone know of a good mechanic down in SoCal that works on 240's??

[sil80 monster]

Its not even worth it in my opinion.

for good mechanics in socal post in here http://zilvia.net/f/south-western-states/

Yeeeh i know it really isnt worth it, but i really cant find shit else down here its hard!. hah

The price all depends on how much you buy each part at. Post in the WTB section for those parts and see what people are taking.

Check out JER Development in Westminster... Owner Linh is an awesome and honest guy to deal with.

it's absolutely worth it, unless you like being stuck in the stone age.

and what, switches/motors/wiring/door panels? way less than a hundred bucks at a junk yard.

It is possible, it is very time consuming to do cleanly. I did the swap on a 89, but I had the luxury of having a wrecked parts car. The door harnesses are different from year to year, I do not know what the differences are, but Nissan does give different part numbers.

You will need to get from the power car

1. door solenoids (located inside the door, below the latch)

2. Door wiring harnesses

3. Door lock timer (located behind the ECU. It is a back box that has 1 harness
coming out of it. The end
of the harness has a blue 6-pin plug)

4. Door regulator assemblies and roll up mechanisms (grab the black box too in the
drivers door right about
where your elbow rests)

5. Ignition relay and circuit breaker (these are attached to the back side of the
interior fuse block. The ignition relay is the top ono, I think it is blue. Power cars
will have two circuit breakers, nonpower will have only one. They sit right below
the ignition relay, they are black, grab the second one down).

6. It is best to pull the dash out of the power car to see the dash wiring harness.
The door harness will have 2 plugs connecting to the dash harness on the drivers
side connecting to the dash harness and 3 on the passenger. If you what a nice
clean conversion grab the BLUE plugs from the dash harness (one on the drivers
side and 3 on the passengers side. I pulled all the wires out of the dash harness
to make it very clean, meaning I didn’t cut the wires).

**Side note: You can remove the connections from the plugs with out damaging them. Your will have to pop off the back on the plug. then looking from the connection side you can see a small clip (inside the plug) that is holding the connector tight, there are special tools for this (and will make it easier), but you can use a paper clip, pick or a small flat headed screwdriver.** Ok back to the dash Harness

The nonpower car will not have the blue plugs in the dash harness. The white plug (one one each side, I think they are a 12 pin) are the same plug on the power car vs. the non power car...but the non power car will not be using all of the pin locations, of course the power car will.

At this point get a FSM and start studying the wiring diagrams. It took me about 20-25 hours to do the swap (this included the power mirrors). But this was making the wiring look like it was completely factory. A ton of time could be saved if the plugs were cut and everything was soldered or butt connected.

I hope this helps a little
