damn right :cheers:

offtopic: station st thomastown has an officer doing breath tests. i was stopped in the skyline, was a nice guy, just gave me the test, looked at the front of the car, and thats it. said thankyou michael and i was on my way :mad:

but just a warning anyway

I missed what he said so you must tell me about it next time.

Shan, real sorry to hear it mate. Hope it works out ok though. Have plenty of pics of you with your pain. Sorry, just my journalistic duty. Post soon.

We should do this in another 2 - 4 weeks. Maybe make it a monthly.

Roy has got to be crazy to want my help with electronics :cheers: but I'll give it a hack. Let me know when. Maybe Sunday or are you doing the Winton thing? I have RWDTurbo barbie and photo shoot Sat afternoon. Friday I'm here all day and thurs have to go see my doc.

I'm in tomorrow at Creatd for dyno tune. Lets get this sucker going HARD.

Rest of sunday was a bummer, bringing furniture back from dandenong and being a one time heavy load and recovery specialist thought it was all well tied down. Got hit by a huge gust of wind on the eastern where some stupid curved over noise barrier is. Almost took the Lynx and trailer off the road and blew a tall chest of drawers clean out from under my ropes. Melted the nylon ropes and left burn marks along the top of the chest. It was sitting in the middle of the road and i ran back and ducked into the traffic and just grabbed it and ran back off the road with it. These things aren't light (took 2 mates to get it into the trailer) and after the adrenalin levels dropped realized the famous fu(ked back was returning with a vengeance. Ever seen a grown man cry at every bump and turn in the road? And you all know how far it is from Doncaster to Mill Park. Was more concerned with someone barrelling into it at 100 and having a major bingle. Oh well. Skit happens.

Worst part is my big leather comfy recliner that i wanted to bring home yesterday will have to wait until the weekend. Took me 4 years of manouvering and grovelling to get one :cheers:

Guys

this sunday at 11am skylinesteve has organised a dyno run (well 3) for $35 at SelectMaz in Epping. Since it is only 5 min from the cafe I'm going over for breakfast and then on to the dyno runs. The dyno is RWD only.

Anyone interested? Feel free to join me.

Just cranking this up again, hopefully it will mail the new post but the forums been a bit funny about that lately so I'll PM a few people.

Funky is going to join me for breakfast in Mill Park Lakes at the Lakes Cafe Sunday morning. I think between 9.30 and 10.00 is a good time to start.

So if anyones interested please post back so we know what size table to grab...and I can tell you all how my engine died (again) after a twin turbo upgrade.

    • 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. 🤣
