Small update for this thing: i now have a gtr front bar , bonnet and grill , all that's left to buy is a l/h front guard , i've also salvaged up a manual conversion kit outta spare bits and pieces , so as soon as my ceff is up and running i'm gunna start on getting this thing on the road :D

Forgot to say , when i sold it last the guy put it back to auto for his missuz :P , reading back through the thread gave me a giggle , it's going to end up with rolled rear guards now i've finally seen the light (after looking through sarumatix thread again)

Well i will finally have rego on it tomorrow , found and bought another wreck to convert it to manual again , even though , it's heaps of fun to drive as it is , but odds are it will see a few track days with it's new pretty suspension . I was going to paint it a different colour but cbf , i also have a 2 door 32 that will turn into a full race spec track hack eventually , but that's another thread lol

Progress is slow on all of them lol , i'm in the process of selling a few so i can simplify things a bit! , hopefully i'll end up with just the purple ceff , the blue 32 , the yellow 32 and my ute :)

and maybe the white ceff too

    • 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. 🤣
