wtf? did autobahn tell you they were gonna do that to your car? lol... since when were audio installers allowed to take such big chunks out of your car?

I took out my child restraints. :P

my car didn't come with child retraints,

hmmm guessing my compliance might have been a "yea she'll b right mate, it's all good."

whilst getting a tick in the box for passing. lol

^^^ Agreed.

They probably thought that this damage will 'never see the light of day'!

Due care had to be taken to NOT WEAKEN ANY STRESS POINTS!

mate from looking at those pics i say you may be in a bit of trouble.

from what i rember reading about is that your not allowed to cut any part of the car as it may casue structal integrity and from the looks of the pics that may be the case but im not enginner so dont take my word.

how ever i would be haveing a word to autobarn about why they did that and try and get them to pay for any repairs.

brentt

ouch, lucky you're not in SA...

After they find that the parcel shelf has been cut in any way your car is blacklisted. Never to pass or be re-registered again.

Ive only heard of one person getting it fixed and engineered and it most definitely wasn't anywhere near a cheap exercise.

But that's SA for ya...

The parcel shelf issue is exactly why i bought a $30 pair of plastic speaker spacers for the 6 x 9's i installed in my Laurel when i had it.

I sold it to a guy in SA who got in trouble because part of the plastic plugs in the child restraints were covered by them......................

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • 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. 🤣
