It's the VIO POV cam, said it earlier in the thread I think.

yeah it's a POV cam. not mentioned in this thread, but another one. :D they are good. I used one and was impressed. looks like I'll have to keep on with the DV cam set-up I have now.

thanks guys :3some: still smiling now.

Russ I hope you've got that new nugget of yours ready to go for the weekend too. Hope the shake down is going OK

Yeah the incar setup is a VOI POV. Cost about 1300 with the longer cables and suction cup mount but it was worth every cent - I've already spent 1500 on 2 previous setups that sucked (too hard to use so I kept forgetting) so this is a bargain really. That footage I posted on youtube doesn't do it justice, it records in HD widescreen but I've got no idea how to post the good stuff to youtube.

well done brus, driving it like a kart and just sticking it up in there, brilliant.

thanks guys :3some: still smiling now.

Nice work, Duncan! I got a few SMSs from Kel on the day letting me know your results. It's good to hear that the hard work has paid off, here's hoping it continues to in the future!

Like Steve-O mentioned, that little ATTESA moment coming out of turn two when you were next to the Commodore looked "interesting..." Obviously the response of the N1 turbos is a good thing, going by that!

Nice one dude :P Nice clean driving in the vid!

Yea nice driving in the vid,,,but please don't think for one sec that Duncan is a nice driver,,,he will give as good as he gets.

I'm not adverse to fixing panel damage and I whole heartedly encourage aggression where it is warranted.

Thankfully we didn't have to talk about it,,,but it was on my mind.

Neil.

ahh well there was a little bump that happened somewhere, I thought we missed but the panel says otherwise.....like Ben said it was only a cable tie to fix (I don't want to know why Neil borrowed the drill, honestly I dont....)

Unfortunately I learned my racing in a single make series with little cars.....with them you didn't really need a gap at all to stick your nose in. In fact the real reason I bought the GTR to race is I got a bit sick of the panel bills. You can see in the vid from race 2 where I almost stick the car up the middle before changing my mind and heading for the outside again.

Nick I've always been pretty unhappy with the 32 n1 turbs but they are all I can run. We are allowed to run cam gears this year and the guys at UAS got the boost to come on a good 500rpm sooner (at the expense of top end, but who cares about that coming out of a corner). I deliberately picked 2nd there instead of the normal 3rd to make the most of the inside line. Anyway, everyone knows gtrs dont oversteer

1 hour at Wakie next up in 4 weeks, including a tyre change. That will be a big acheivement if I can keep it all together, but I have had some luck there before.

just heard that duncan won a race today!!

so for 8 years ive been telling him he cant drive

it's a numbers game get in enough races and eventually everybody else falls over and you win one. :blush:

seriously though that is awesome Duncan, been following bits and pieces and it's clear you and many other have put a shit ton of hours into it (not to mention the money) so you must be stoked to get that sweet, sweet victory. congrats to you and the team :)

lol now the boys are fighting over the crappy jobs. Jas history shows kiwis only seem to forget wheel nuts at rallies, Mark's done a couple of enduros with wheel changes and they didn't fall off :blush:

thanks Geoff! (Steve Bradbury is my hero!) Now all I've got to do is repeat on 5 more weekends before the end of the year lol

    • 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!
