Hi guys,

I think my car is a quite rare one, it made its debut at the 1977/78 Melbourne motor show and to the best of my knowledge is the first and only 1977 plated mgc210GT officially brought to Aus by Nissan before the official 1978GL.

Age has wearied the poor ol girl but she is still 90 percent original with the only modification being a worked L28 with a holley on top inserted in the engine bay and the box n clutch were beefed up a bit to accommodate. I have got the original engine which was taken out at 100k and the L28 has done a genuine 100k of it's own.

As a result she does need some rust cut out but, being original paint, what u see is what u get. Bought it from an older gentleman who had the engine done, engineered etc. and have meant to restore it but it is so hard to find the time (oh and the dollars) to do it proud.

There'd only be a few of us that have seen the GT badges in this photo on a car in Aus, had to remove them to preserve what's left of them.....

Cheers all and happy driving

- Give it a respray

- contemplating a dash change to a s13/s14 but we'll see about that one...

Hi all, I had a clean r31 for a while but I found this mr30 recently and couldnt go past it. so I swapped it for this.

YEAR: 1984

BODY: SEDAN

COLOUR: WHITE

MODEL: Ti with all options except sunroof but has sunroof switch?

completly stock with automatic. owned by elderly lady until recently and garaged all its life, the paint is still glossy!!!

and interior is perfect possibly the cleanest mr30 in adelaide (maybe after sky084)

I missed my previous mr30's so I'm happy to have a very nice one back.

    • 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!
