    window motor/ regulator

    Tried searching a bit, but I didn't see anything on this. I have an 87T. The driver side window is not currently working. When I press the button I can hear the motor working. I realize I need to take the panel off to diagnose the issue, but I am curious if the motor and regulator are the same throughout the years. Someone has a 86 n/a parts car down the road so it would certainly make life easy.

    Just a side note, I replaced my passenger motor before realizing it was a switch issue with one from a 1989 Stanza. Got a great deal on a NOS one (still in the Nissan package and was cheaper than a used motor on eBay). Everything works fine except the orientation is backwards. Up for down, down for up. That could be fixed by re-pinning I suppose.

    Thought it was worth mentioning in case you ended up needing one quick and couldn't find one.
