Marko, don't be silly, just buy a new gasket and be done with it, call Nissan closest to you, they should have them in stock no worries or will be able to get them to you next day

I was under the impression nissan had to order from japan (3 week wait)? Ill give them a go first thing tomorrow morning :thumbsup:

I'm just getting kinda desperate... haha, out of the 6 places i called 4 are VERY reputable yet no gasket love :)

btw, the silicone i was reffering to is proper gasket seal type.. not Bunnings tile silicone lol.

Need help with something,

I got a dump pipe for my car, want to put it on asap however ive called a few tuning shops near my place and no one has brand new turbo dump pipe gaskets?? Should i worry about it or just use plenty of silicone and re-use my old one? Im thinking with my new engine build it only needs to be temporary for a few months till its ready to be swapped over anyways. Thoughts?

Btw, its the jjr cheapo one, was saving for an am performance one but this came up at the right price. Ill be using a gt30 with my rb25/30 anyways in a few months so ill get one made up by them when its all done.

Try places like D&T, ET exhausts, Aussie Discount and other exhaust shops mate

they generally have them in stock

good luck with it mate

any plans for it James? prelude engine conversion? chromies? i say whack on some stupid offset watanbe's.

Exactly my thoughts Damo, sused a set of 13x5.5 Watanbe's in QLD, bit sad when you say your upsizing rims to 13". Going to go black bonnet, clean the interior up, then see what conversions are viable. Chromies :thumbsup:

Yes its damn ugly, and yes shopping trolleys do handle better :)

Might have to hit Chef or JIS up to see what engines are available :)

on the subject of dumps, i just found the mandrel bend on my dump "crimped" and the flange pulled away from the exhaust housing at the top. turns out my car was so low for AJD the flange near the cat caught on a sewer cover in the middle of the road (like 5mm lip or something) when i was reversing out of my driveway, and pushed the dump forwards and down. it's a AM performance split dump too, not f**king happy.

My new daily. Let the laughs and flamage begin !

I too went to a few reputable workshops ... in the end I got mine over the counter (same day) at Unley Nissan.

get NOS!!!

buy a case of spray whipped cream and use the NOS propellant from them to get the daily fly'n, then use the whipped cream to hide the car, or some randy sexual fantasy...lol

or fill the airbags with it,,,, hit something and the whipped cream saves ya..lol

Now there's an idea Ruby! Only 100cc increase in capacity, still a honda engine, cant see that Regency would have a problem with that :(

Actually, its a Suzuki engine!

I could help you design and fab it up .. complete with ram air intake!!! I've had a hand in a project like this before :/

    • 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!
