was pretty happy with the economy of my car today 608Km's out of a tank. Would have been better if the ultimate was $160+ in the middle of nowhere

down side is the car is pinging due to the crappy unleaded that went into it. I think i need to flush it out and run some good stuff in there now i'm back in civilization :cool:

bit sad that my 33 is my daily and i have done 26000Km's over the past 3 years and have done 2000 in the last 4 days

yeah that nearly 1/5th of my annual Km's and i might be heading up to QLD in the next week or so and that'll add a lot more

pretty well, i flushed the oil and radiator ect before i left so i wasn't to worried.

It might need a wheel alignment as it pulls to the left when the wheel is straight :cool: have to wait to i get a new job

i noticed it on the way over, it could have been doing it a while i just don't drive enough to notice (long straight roads anyway) not that fun when i went to grab a drink and the car starts to drift off the road when it should be driving straight.

not the most comfortable seats for long drives

Yeah right, :cheers: unless the height of the mount is actually different to standard nissan.... the engine would be in the same place no matter what.

Dont make sense though, would mean different gearbox mount etc....

Inless its actually shaped different to clear lines or something. I dont own a 33, so Im trying to use logic here LOL.

Edited by R31 drift pig
r the gtr seats any better to sit in does anyone know." 4 long drives that is"

Yeah there nice...I dont mind them and sat in one for 6hrs from Sydney to Shepparton ;) But I was driving I guess you would get fidgety if a passenger ;)

    • 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!
