T'was a good day, and SAU was represented well. At least I thought so. Some selfish douchebag took out the People's Choice Award, and it was of no suprise to anyone that a Supra won the dyno comp, although props to R34power's mate for doing so.

There was a lot of JDM goodness on display, as those that were there will attest to. I enjoyed it. How about everyone else?

yeah he was shocked there was suppose to be a wide body r32 blue that would have beaten him.

I thought that blue Supra might have taken the people's choice.

Bad timing for me. My car is currently not behaving itself and has a few issues that we weren't able to iron out before the day.

Would still like to have gone but our house settlement went through yesterday and unfortunately I had a busy day with that.

i thought you guys failed in your turn out compared to most other days. that said i only got their at 2 (Due to work). was hoping to see alot more skylines out. have a good one guys, stu

I reckon we went OK. For those that showed up at 8.30am, it's an ask to do a full day, yeah? By 1pm, it was starting to wind down, so I'd say you missed the best five hours when you were at work

Musta missed you Jayce :) Good to see R31Nismoid and Mark and Mick and Damo and others out...

I got there when that matt black 180 went on the dyno.

Me and Xmetal got some awesome shots last night too... had a full rig attached to the car, can't wait to see them!

Hi all

Great to see plenty of nice JDM cars on Saturday. Sorry I didn't put my car on, but I've pretty much made a decision that I won't be dynoing my car on any other dyno without one of the ESP boys to oversee the operators. I just don't want to risk any damage to my engine. Plus I don't think I would have beaten the 398 that Nathan put down in his Supra as I think my valve stem seals are on their way out.

I did mention to the guy that was looking after the shownshine that if they run this event again next year that they might consider doing it either 3 weeks before or after this particular date as a lot of owners could be in the middle of playing footy finals and they should also consider having it run on a Sunday as well.

I was a little disappointed with the FD turnout though, maybe they were all changing rotor seals that weekend.... :woot:

Anyways, good to see some nice Skylines there, fingers crossed this event gets bigger and better for us JDM owners.

Cheers

Ross

Hey guys,

I've uploaded my photo's to the net but I have some people who are interested in some of the photo's, so I can't post them up here straight away.

If your cluey enough, you could probably find the photos :).

I am obviously of the dumb so I'll just wait till you can post them here :)

    • 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!
