Spotted Zane outside Hoyts cinema last night...

And 2 guys cruising around in (almost) matching purple R33's, one a GT-R and one a GT-R lookalike GTS-25t.

i saw you too, hence the wave

i was with a couple of other SAUers there as well but you must not have seen them

Wednesday 6th May at approx. 1900hrs

Dark Metallic Green R33 GT-R spotted at BP in Canberra city near McDonalds.

I wanted to slap this guy so hard. The paint on the roof was BADLY weather damaged, the stock GT-R front bar had looked liked it had been scraped atleast a dozen times and it had what looked to be 16" VK Commodore mags on it. If your going to buy a GT-R or a Skyline in general, take care of it or give it to someone who will..

Cheers,

Corey :P

I don't know the exact car you're mentioning, but I'll back your sentiments 100%!

Yeah the only thing that gives me a sadface about the purple GTS-T I picked up is the sun damage on the roof :starwars: thankfully I hit up Allards this arvo to get a small tin of paint matched for touchups, so I know what colour to ask for when I get around to having it resprayed :blush:

7:25pm Erindale drive north bound tonight... I was passed by a maroon R32 GTST with GT wing mounts on the boot (minus the wing) and VOLK CF-Zero wheels - Whoever this was, was following a silver/grey R33 GTST with a low drag style wing...

We wonder why Skyline drivers have a bad image and get so much attention from the cops... Well these drivers are part of the reason.

I realise that we have all had our indiscretions and done stupid things in the past but... Speeding, cutting other drivers off, changing lanes without indicating - whoever you are (and I am sure that you are on these forums) grow up and stop giving the rest of us a bad name.

Sad to say but i probably own the dirtiest Skyline on here (with the exception of that guy). I live on a property that has a long stretch of dirt road so more often than not my car is brown rather than black. I do keep it very clean on the inside and mechanically it's in good condition so i'm definately doing better than that guy. Just don't hate on the two tone paint scheme if you see me around :D

    • 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!
