swap your brakes for my brembos + cash stu???? lol

will u be in the shop on saturday morning?

I am amazed you can part with this animal. Real shame you have not been able to get out and enjoy it more. I know if i had the money and could justify the spend i would be PROUD to have such a unique and well built car in my shed.

Really hope you find a good home for it, or find a way of keeping it.

hey mate, nice to hear from you. i think i was going through some kind of depression lol.

engines back together and will be fitting it soon. still need a diff centre but got the itch back to drive it.

Extremely Nice build, and sad to see you sell it, after all that work, and only a taste of all that fun!!

So, instead of watching a movie with the missus, I sat on the lounge for around 4 or 5 hours and read this whole thread... I think I'm now in trouble with her...

But this is an awesome build, and makes me appreciate this beast even more!

we tried to run a group buy for members but there was little interest so it didnt go ahead. also the mods werent too happy about it.

decided to keep the car, just put it away for a bit.

So after reading all that... lol have you still got it? or has it been passed to another owner now?

ps, i read about you making the RB sumps...is there a link for these?

Great to hear your keeping it Stu.

It's been suggested I buy it way to many times,,,but I just can't bring myself to owning a yank powered Skyline. I love it but it's just not me.

Which brings me to a question,,,would you be interested in making me one of those sumps for my R33???.

Cheers

yeah mate, the issue is making one offs. its more worth the effort when we punch 3-5 out in one hit, otherwise we have material left over etc.

    • 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!
