well i was driving it today .... put my foot on the clutch then i hear something small fall from under my car... im like wtf??? anyhow then i hear soemthing a lot larger fall from underneath then i hear something being dragged from underneath my car then the pressure on my left foot dissapears from which the clutch pedal makes against my foot so im thinking there is a problem. I take my foot off the clutch and instead of the clutch pedal coming out it stays in agaisnt the floor. i found this funny. so i get out of the car and see the clutch slave cylinder hanging from under the car and resting on the road. after a few phone calls i arranged for some tools, jacked the byuetch up and solved the problem temporary.

im wondering why the hell it just fell out, it seems funny to me oh well.....:)

akeenan: are you back in melbourne now?

you think that is funny.. i let my g/f borrow my car for 2 days and she manages to get a canary and EPA all in one today.. and yet I've been driving for 6 months and not *one* problem with cops..

*hilarious* to everybody...(except me).

oh dont worry i will fix it up, notice the 1 bolt as well holding it in place this is because the thread in the other hole is stuffed, i'll fix it though...

oh also today i was driving fast along dandeong road and i saw a cop car in my rear view mirror with its lights on im not sure if it was for me but i conveniently went into the chadstone carpark did a few laps then kept going, i was proud of myself,

pred yes i am back in melbourne but i am going back to japan asap, im going to study japanese for a while then go and work over there, i have contacts :D

    • 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!
