i've thought about fitting some more and decided that i want to dyno my car before and after so i might get ice or BMT or somewhere like that to fit them.

ps i paid for the extractors today :P rockie said they should be despatched early next week so you should receive them about 2 weeks from now. thanks everyone for your quick payment.

cheers

does neone have an approxmimate price for fitting of these?? also am getting a apexi afc fairly soon along with a high flow airfilter and will have to get the car dyno'd is dyno tuning expensive??

Sorry dude, but i live in brisbane, melbournes a bit of a hike, hehe, nah i already have a place lined up to put mine on, i was just after a ball park figure for duno tuning thats all.

Hey guys,

Just a bit of an update: the exchange rate was slightly better than expected (budgeted for 1.1000 and received 1.1135) but the transfer fee was slightly more (budgeted for $20 and payed $28). They pretty much even each other out, but I ended up making a huge profit of $8 :D

I had to pay for an extra set myself to make up the numbers, so if anyone (prefereably in melb) wants to buy it then pm me.

I think I've let most of you know already but I'm going on holidays for two weeks (leaving this saturday) so after then the best way if you need to contact me is on my mobile.

Regards

Greg

Sorry Clint I have to be fair here, neoGT-25 asked me first about 1 hour ago so I'll give him first go at them. If he deides against it or takes forever to get the money, then you'll be next in line. Alternatively I could auction them off? :D j/k

It cost me about $100 to get my Cobe extractors fitted, just to give you guys an idea... It took a little longer than I was expecting because they had to grind a side off all 12 of the washers, to miss the welds on the extractors.

yep its true, i'm currently in the cook islands :)

At the other end couldn't you just get them to weld a flange to it so it does bolt on to the cat? this would make it easier if you wanted to change your cat in the future. it sounds a bit dodgy about grinding them down, i thought they were meant to be a straight bolt on.

i had a look at the standard extractors today and they suck! piping is really small and bends obviously aren't mandrel done. also you guys should tighten your throttle cables. i took a fair bit of slack out of mine and it's much more responsive now :)

cheers

    • 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!
