Hugh Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 lol I think managing what you eat for lunch will have a bigger impact on your car's weight than this kit... Just spent 30 minutes on the elliptical machine this morning! Need to get back down to racing weight. Some OEM power window assemblies are pretty heavy. I just wanted to avoid that. The motors look really small, so I'm guessing this one isn't so bad. Anyway, this is an awesome write-up. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 The whole kit weighs in at roughly 3-5 lbs, if that.... I did look into the door jamb wire boots on their website. However, $10 PLUS another $8 for shipping = $18 for a set of rubber boots I spent $2.50 on my "custom" wire boots Thanks for the compliments on my write up !

1 tuff z Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Wanted to add an install on the early s30. Finally [had the kit for about 4 months now] got my Spal power windows installed, here are a few pics. Wiring run through the pin switch hole, drilled another in the door. We used high pressure fuel injection hose with grommets. Works great, they're quiet and I can finally open & close the windows without getting out of my harness! Motor, etc in the door Close up of motor, ect. Console with switches installed Switch close up Door panel pics Close up of cap where the window crank used to reside Edited September 18, 2011 by 1 tuff z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 David, Looks pretty slick! How's the clearance with the door card on? What are you using to plug the hole that the window crank covered before? Care to post up the part numbers for the kit and accessories you used?

bens1088 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I did this on my ZX. Only problem I ran into was the gear adapter stripped itself after a few months. Just replaced it but it made me worried about using plastic on the door crank gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Still need to take pic with panel on-fits great and does not bow out at all. The kit is universal, as are the switches. I pulled this number from the switch instruction sheet; COD 3304 0128. I purchased the kit and switches from evilc, perhaps he can chime in with the specifics.

getoffmyinternet Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I'm also worried about all those plastic gears, but is there a reasonable alternative? Everything is made of plastic these days. Has anyone bought the kit from MSA? Looks like it might be the same exact thing marked up. Also FWIW: "Shipping Weight: 10.00 pounds" Edited September 19, 2011 by getoffmyinternet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rags Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I've had mine installed for a year now. Nothing but good things to say about the kit. Plastic gears fit over the crank stub very tightly and I feel there is really no chance of them stripping. I bought my kit from whoever was selling them the cheapest online.
