I'm sure a lot of you have seen my car anyway... But here is some pics:

Beautiful car... maybe you should put your interest down here:

I just picked this car up the other week, some of you may have seen it around Brisbane before with the previous owner. Most of the shots are from a Forge photoshoot before I got the car.

20" Forge wheels, Brembos, leather, bose stereo, coilovers, exhaust and a few other bits and pieces.

Overall really happy with the car. Just have to sort out some slight scrubbing problems on the front when hitting bumps and see if I can get the screen fixed. No picture showing up so I can't see what I'm doing...

Has anyone experienced any headlight problems with these lights? They don't seem all that bright on low beam?

Also I seem to be getting a "tick" noise when taking off and sometimes when changing gears. Sounds like it is coming from the rear brakes?

Hey Goodys, nice ride. Yeah ! Mine developed a ever so small "clicking" at around 60,000klms. Its so faint that even my mechanic cant work out where its from. I m pretty sure its a cv joint to the diff. I notice it when I first take off (sometimes 2nd gear), but definitely when you reverse then go forward.If it gets louder I will investigate further , but too minor to worry about now.

As for lights- the only issue with all skylines Ive had is the front passenger side parking buld. Usually just give it a bump & its good !

I just changed to LED'S as well as interior & wow thats good bang for the bucks!

Thanks for the info mate, I have a hoist handy so might have a look around and see if I can find anything near the CV's.

I just got home from a drive and decided to actually have a look at the lights while they were on and it seems I have 3 out of the 4 low beam lights out haha. I think this might be my problem. I will hopefully pull them out tomorrow and see if they are stuffed.

For anyone interested the wheels are 20x10 -0 with a 5mm spacer so effectively -5 front and 20x11.5 -0 rear. Not sure what the camber settings are or if there is much adjustment in them. Need to bring them in a little bit to avoid some scrubbing on bumps.

Also which interior bulbs/LED's did you replace? Any pics?

Yeh sounds like you have a short somewhere in the wiring. Replaced the Parking lights, Interior -headlining and door lights, boot and number plates also.

Just need to buy the clear indicator lense now. (had the car 4&1/2 years and just woke up to it now ! lol)

Anyone recommend somewhere in Sydney that sell them ??

I will post some pics when I do these.

Had a mess around today and it looks like it is just the RHS low beam bulb which has blown. It does not actually look blown but after connecting it to a battery I am still getting no light.

Will going to a "whiter" light give a bit better vision? How it is now I can't really see all that good on low beam..

Right now they are more blue than anything.

The lights are after market but not sure exactly what. Pic attached.

It's the rear axle bearing.. Very common problem with v35 Skylines.. It's nothing major.. Just an annoying sound

    • 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!
