I found this steering wheel in FAST! it IS a factory option!! amazing...

does it say factory option even for r34 ??????cause i figured out the old jap owner of my car had alot of aftermaket stuff on it and i recon he may of just got hold of that steering wheel when he was selling the car so he could take a sports one off??????? this is of cause if it wasnt factory option for r34.

1. What's the VIN number?

2. How do you know its a 40th Anniversary model? None of the photo's he's given you show any 40th Anniversary badging and it doesnt seem to have any of the 40th Anniversary options like front bar or spoiler. FAST will clear that up. It doesn't have to have any of the options to be a 40th anniversary but it does need the badging.

3. Bit of strange looking rust on drive side front quarter panel seem

4. Needs new tyres.

I have been on the phone to the owner a couple of times over the past week, seems like a very nice and honest guy, yes the gearstick and handbrake boots have been replaced because when he got the car there was a big rip/cut in the gearstick boot so he replaced both the boots so they match up, the funny thing is he gave me some bad news lol, his farther was driving the car and hit a dog which cracked the bumper, but its going in to a reputable panel shop on monday to get fixed (he said he hates bog so hes getting it fixed the right way, which is good) i will be getting the car check out in sometime in the next few weeks and may even get a speedo/odometer check done on it for peice of mind

The car "is" a 40th aniversary, i saw a few exterior pics of it on the website it was advertised on, has the 40th aniversary badging on the rear quater panels, it also has the plastic CAS cover (same as the r34 CAS) which only came on the 1998 40th aniversary r33's so i have read.But overall the car seems in pretty good nick i think :miner:

Have a look at the pics od the motor,Its just the little black plastic cover thats bolted to the CAS, its meant to be the same as the r34, only the 40th aniversary r33's have it, which is what i have read on this forum and that seems to be correct from all the other series 1's and 95,96 and 97 r33's i have seen pics of.

CAS=crank or cam angle sensor (some guys call it crank angle sensor others call it the cam angle sensor) its the round silver dome looking thing that is bolted to the front of the cambelt cover, and has a plug and wiring loom plugged into the bottom of it.It is connected to the exhaust camshaft and acts like a distrubutor on normall cars like hondas etc etc, sorry im not very good at explaining things :miner: lol

well there you go...I thought i had all the 40th anniv. differences pretty much down...but I didnt know about that 1....Looked at photos of my car when it was still in japan, and saw the cover, but i couldnt remember seeing it on the car...so was thinking maybe they left it off at compliance when they did my timing belt, water pump etc....

just went and had a look at my car, and there it is hehe

    • 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!
