2 R33's at the big roundabout in Woden about 20 mins ago on the way home.... a white one with a silver bonnet and driver's side front guard, and another silver one with a lip style rear wing flying up the bus lane.....

And a white R33 GT-R on Hindmarsh Drive a few hours ago

And a silvery blue turbo R31 Pintara on Adelaide Avenue.

Spotted djhatton's blue R32 GTR parked on Bunda Street in Civic about lunchtime today.

indeedies.

saw a maroon 33 gtst with a loud as bov turning off bunda st towards braddon today.

oh and i'd like to inform everyone of canberra's newest member to the fraternity. if everyone can cast their minds back a few issues to the issue of hpi with the silver 33 vspec gtr from autostyle w/purple chrome te37s, gt-rs turbos, massively over-engineered cooling system and HAAAWT leather trim... well it now belongs to a bloke here in lil canberra.

he was in at inline having his hks hyper-d's swapped over for new bilstein coilovers and a whole lot of trick suspension links/arms/etc from luch (tune-agent... the bloke with the nuts 300zr). he knows all about the friday meets now and i've convinced him to drag it out so you can all see the beast.

it is quite simply a stunning car. up there with andre and mick's 33's. and very tastefully thought-out.

Spotted a mangled silver R33 GTSt on the road from the Airport to Queanbeyan at the turn off for the driver training place... looked like it was a 3 car accident involving a commodore, commodore ute and the skyline... hope it was no-one off here :D (yesterday afternoon)

Thats not a diablo, its a gellardo... Diablo had the quad cam V12, I heard one down in Melbourne scream off to beat an orange light and it was just awesome... pisses all over the sound of a ferrari any day

i resent that statement! you're either a lambo man or a ferrari man. i'm most certainly the latter.

:D

    • 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. 🤣
