WGMG, people who can't use roundabouts. I.e the ones who drive in at 2km/h, no indicator, giving you the idea it's safe to go, and just as you get rolling and it's too late to turn back, and they're nearly out, they simultaneously go to right hand lock, smash on the indicator and accelerate at 500m/s straight at you, making you stamp the right foot on it to avoid an at-fault crash, and the general public swing their heads around to see what looks like the ever-scrutinized stereotypical import driving P-plater puling out in front of someone and tearing off like an idiot, further justifying the idea that every P-plater not driving their parents rattly magna should be locked away from society.

see high performance cars avoid accidents :(

this happened to me a few times now i just wait until the roundabout is clear

Take that society! Haha.I like your perspective. Lol. But unfortunately some roundabouts won't effectively clear for ages. :)

WGMG Some new employee at BP

Last night or early this morning to fill my car up with petrol like I have done countless times before in barefeet but when I went in to pay the guy starts raging at me for not having apporpriate footwear, I literally got a 5 minute lecture about it. Then when I tried swipe my card he wouldn't let me pay for it, and kept clicking his finger and asking stuff like "what would have happened if the whole ground caught fire huh!?!?!" "what if one of the bowsers exploded into flames?!". I'll tkae my chances thanks, and getting burnt feet would be the least of my worries if that happened.

i get mouthed off at for working on cars barefoot all the time. fark i dont yell at the missus for mopping with barefeet.

nothing better than barefeet, cars and chicken treat for lunch all in that order

WGMG - Idiotic soccer-moms living in my area. There is one in particular that drives an enormous 4wd. Yesterday I was going back from the shops in my new R34 25GT, following closely behind (but not tailgating, as we were driving through an estate area with a very slow speed limit). Sitting quite nicely at about one and a half car lengths behind as we went along, suddenly the stupid cow slams on the brakes. I slam on my brakes, wind my window down to yell at the moron for managing to create a hazard on such a slow road and my jaw drops when I see whats going on.

On the opposite side of the street, there's another woman standing in her yard watering the plants. But as soon as she had seen her friend in the 4wd, she comes up to the verge and starts chatting away happily while the 4wd is completely stationary in the road.

;)

FFS.

To her credit, the woman doing the gardening was cool, she actually noticed me behind her friends stupid 4wd old barge. Once or twice she tried to motion to her friend that there was someone behind her that wanted to get past. Amazingly it took her three goes before the feeble-minded goober worked out what was going on.

I was in no mood to wait, I just pulled out into the right and took off before she could waste any more of my time.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
