Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with it

Thanks for the comments guys :3some:

Madaz: I'm very aware it's defectable, but fingers crossed as I try to stay out of trouble :spank:

TuffR32: Any idea for Car toys to do the headlight clean?

Hey lads, I don't know if your aware but there is a cleaning product out there from Maguires called "Plastic Polish"........ This product works really well, I have some if you really want to borrow it!!! i'd hate to think how much Car Toys is slugging you for prob a similar treatment.......LOL

Heard a story once about this 33 owner that went into a wrecker who had some clean as headlights, this person wanted to buy them because his were foggy!!! The wrecker said yeh no worries, give us yours and $300 and they are yours............ The wrecker guy turned around and started polishing the foggy ones......... 5-10 min later he puts them on the shelf for the same price as the good ones......LOL I found that to be rather amusing!

um this is the oldest thing with a skyline along with the clicking from the a/c lol. You can use tooth paste, i use brasso, also i think cut and polish works.......

I don't know about you dan but my air con dont click... must be a s1 owner common thing?

It's more like that, and the f**ken power windows.

Nah your just one of the lucky few....check out general maintenance or diy and search a/c you will learn lol

WOW I no the guy you bought it off, im a good friend of his. This is an exellent car that you have got, he took me for a drive a month ago and its great i wish i had it.

Have fun with it :-) Can i ask how much you paid for it in the end????

cheerz

Evans32: Yeah it was Simon I bought it off. Good guy, made the sale pretty easy. Price is between me and Simon, if he chooses to tell you, its up to him >_<

Tim: Absolutely! Im not sure when but we'll need to get together.

Haha, no I dont think I paid too much. I dont think I got a bargain either, I believe I just paid market price. ahh to hell with it.

$15k even is what I paid. I was happy with the price with what the car came with. I could've imported one for cheaper, but felt more comfortable buying locally.

yeah i think its a great price ive had mine little over 15 months and paid 21.5k with only pod front mount and some ghey manual boost controler with ive taken out for a turbotech one

ive just bought coilovers now will install them on sat. morning.

mine is the same year as yours but had about 123,000Km on the clock

so all in all i think you've found a good but because apart from new turbo you've pretty much got it all

    • 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!
