Fauxre Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I know it's been a while since anyone has posted here, but I'm finally in a position to start this conversion on my 260Z based Velo Rossa project. I picked up '94 Camry regulators today at the local PickNPull. Under $80 with warranty. Bench tested... both work perfectly and seem very quiet. I don't have a time frame to complete this project, but will try to post any significant progress as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Keep us updated! I've been hoping for a lightweight affordable electric option to be found. Are they from the front or rear doors? What controls are you planning on using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauxre Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Okay. So, after what amounts to three full days using the "trial and error" technic, I've finally installed the drivers side regulator. Rather than explain what I actually did during this arduous process, I think it would be better just to post pics of the final result, with a little commentary. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I compared the curved path of the Camry actuator track with the door's outer guide track. It doesn't take much force to bend the actuator track to match the guide track. In fact the actuator track is so thin it would be very easy to put a kink in it if pushed on too hard. Cut off the old mounting brace. It's unnecessary and won't allow the track to fit. Using the two videos of operating windows in this thread, I approximated the actuator tracks upper mounting point. Getting all three tracks (actuator, outer guide and inner guide) to line up took forever. Here's the final positioning. The window frame attached to the actuator. There's a nut spacer between the window frame and actuator. The Z bracket will be replaced with one that doesn't require a spacer. I cut too much sheet metal, and had to add the strap in order to mount the motor. I ground the lip down on the top of the window frame in order to clear the back of the motor during operation. I hope this helps. Here's how it turned out. Power Windows Hopefully the passenger side will be easier.

ZT-R Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yep pretty much looks like what I had to do. The driver side was the hardest one in my opinion. The passenger side fits much better, I dont know why, more room in the door though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauxre Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 My passenger side regulator is not as beefy as the driver side. Track is narrower and the motor is thinner. Gets less use I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauxre Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 One day install for the passenger side. Operates even smoother than the driver side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
