shane.. what happened to b00ntas car? :laugh:

how is he anyway? I haven't spoken to him since Xmas day :P

twas driving to work yesterdya morning, and she overheated, popped the bonnet to find radiator cap missing and steam farking everywhere. let it sit and cool down for a bit, went back at 3pm and put new coolant in her and did a compression test. compression was ~40, and found water around the spark plugs, so fairly certian its a blwon headgasket. towed her home and is now awaiting the replacement headgasket *sigh*

sayeth he who now has TWO undrivable lines in his yard :laugh:

yeah gnome no.1 was getting lonely... shane is sau's gnome breeder now :P

and furthermore, you pwned yourself big time as well as andy by leaving the rad cap off.

how good are the skyline heat gauges anyway? Mine never seems to move once the car heats up, however my oil temp gos up and down depending on how much im flogging her...

well the stock water temp gauge in bunta's 33 is farken hopeless! it went from being normal to 'fark me im out of water' in an instant.

mmmmm raw cookie batter *droolz*

have you seen that family guy episode with the cookie monster in it? how he is in rehab and they find cookies.. and another espisode later when louis is in the bathrooms of some club.. she opens the cubicle door and the cookie monster is hiding like a drug addict with a tube of cookie dough (ps. yes it's dough not batter) and putting some on a spoon and lighting it with a lighter to cook it?

haha.. oh that's so funny. guess you just have to watch it.

:P

on a serious note shane do you need a torque wrench as i have a pretty decent one you can use....left over from my 7M-GE days with the cressida :laugh:

unless its one of them 340ft/lb ones, no i've got one :P

you just didn't do it up?

thats what im thinkin, caus i doubt it could blow off if it was on properly, and its one of them nismo ones...

    • 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!
