I have 1 length of Titeflex Insulation Wrap. It's about 3600mm long relaxed. This is the stuff used on aircraft tubes for insulation and the quality is second none !

It has 2 stepped graduations so you can vary the thickness when applied. I've wrapped it around the tube of silastic to give you an idea of how it fits.

Condition: New & Unused

length?

how does it stay in place?? does it need to be wire locked?

It's about 3600mm long relaxed.
Sould cover a fair bit of stuff depending on how you use it ( single or double overlay ).

Best way to hold it in place is with those stainless steel straps that hold exhaust wrap on

but you can also use ~41 thou lockwire or cable ties.

:P I can't believe this is still for sale !

This is top shelf stuff and can only be purchased through GE Aircaft Engines in the USA ( AFAIK ) and you don't wanna know what it costs to buy a minimum amount + shipping !! :P

Since I got a couple of confused ( ? ) PM's I'll try to take some more pics to show how this suff can be used.

Yeah, just insulates what ever you wrap to keep heat in or out. It's just that you can vary the thickness of insulation depending on how you wrap it.

At the end of the day, it's no miracle product but it's very handy for certain jobs and very hard to come by.

Single wrap for medium insulation and tighter areas.

and Double wrap for heavy insulation and more open areas.

You would of course secure one end and pull the wrap tighter as you go along so it's ot as lose as in these pics.

Also, I would not recommend using it on an exhaust or anything that gets that hot.

    • 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. 🤣
