I just need to sell it and time to upgrade to a Series II skyline...

I got like nearly 600km on a tank when I drove down to Port Stephens last summer with the A/C on all the way...

So yeah, I think it still drinks less than a skyline..

i own a cressida i was getting avrage 450km a tank daylie driving every thing from trashing peak to hwy driving

there good cars and alot of mods can be had if you want go that way :)

i2obert: LOL, but you don't get the same respect as being in a skyline haha..

but I want a car with airbags, and ABS... I've had a fair amount of misses with my old VN SS, handled like a boat around Palm beach.. Live Axel sucks....

Furthermore, there's too much work to convert it to 2JZ, I've been researching, too much time and fabrication blah blah..

and the worse part, there's not an abundance of aftermarket parts for a 2JZ motor, RBs and SRs, parts are available everywhere.

Quinny: You've got PM

I really want a R33 S2, but I'm broke now.... But I would settle for a S1.5 or even buy a damaged S2 and fix it to save money.

As for Quinny, if he had accepted my offer before, I would have been a skyline owner.

Its got the Non-Turbo 7M-GE supra motor in it, should be easy to bolt on a 7M-GTE turbo and run stock boost, or even take out the motor and fully do a swap with a 2JZ or 1JZ out of a Aresto, or JZX81 Chaser.

Bump, just changed:

- 2x Shift solenoids

- Transmission Oil filter

- Transmission Oil

- Transmission Sump Gasket

    • 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!
