i got friday off yay....time to get things sorted out already lol....extra long weekend for me :D

I have every second weekend off fri till sun...but every second weekend i've gotta work which sucks...Do a 7 day fortnight 12 hour days

Work is currently offering a total of 12 hours of overtime during the week (so 4 12 hour days/week) and 8 hours each weekend day. If systems are up and running on the weekends, I can work up 72 hours/week (including lunch), most of which I take of course :domokun:

lol dave this is sau not facebook lol......sounds like a rockin weekend mate

i honestly cant tell the difference between the 2 a lot of times.

sometimes you click open the wasteland and its like an episode of days of our lives... just with more swearing and trolling.

may aswell weigh in and say I work 12 hours a week

Yeah work is super slow atm and I am only working around 12 hours a week .... and am only getting paid around $1,200 a week for the privilege - nice on the the lifestyle, not so nice on the toys budget :domokun:

Look what turned up in the post for me today :domokun:

Sorry about the fail IPhone pics, but you get the idea. Will take some better pics of it as a car and transformed when it is a nice sunny day and I get the decent camera out.

Yeah but I might have foregone working for 3 years while I did a degree (can ANY of you imagine not working/earning money for 3 years?), then moved to Darwin for 15 months straight out of Uni to get some practical experience .... and I have to do some more study and examinations to get even better qualifications soon :domokun:

    • 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!
