there's no factory boost controller mate...

what mods do you have?

i'd say your problem is either

- you have no mods and so upping the boost against a restrictive exhaust is doing nothing

- your boost controller is crappy and spikes then doesn't hold boost to the redline

i'd say its the boost controller

also, check to make sure you have it on the right way (there should be an arrow)

good luck,

Warren

turbosmart boost controllers are crap. i had a dual stage one for a while then i ditched it for my old turbotoech controller.

have you set the second stage up properly for 15psi?

it could also be that the solenoid is blocked or not switching over in it. mine did that. i'd flick the switch and you could hear it switch but the solenoid was blocked so it wouldn't change boost.

What supporting mods do you have?

R32 gtst run standard 10psi so you are pretty close to the limit alreadt for a stock car.

Unless you have a full 3 inch exhaust and intercooler i wouldnt try to increase the boost at all.

yer my car sucks.. 2 different motors and i've always required an ebc or other means to hold boost. It always tails off to ~2-2.3psi above actuator pressure.

the turbotech ball/spring mbc's do work better than the usual bleeder. The usual bleeders do tail boost off on int. gates. They appear to work fairly well on ext. gates.

    • 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!
