Spotted sfrizza heading into work this morning - I gave you a toot from the stealth Hilux.

Was I seeing things, or was there a maroon car nose down over the embankment in the bushes, just up from your work's driveway yesterday arvo?

Haha, i was telling my workmate this morning that I got road raged twice on the way in. I got told off for doing 50 through theodore as they over took me on a blind corner coming up to a known bus stop full of school kids. (and we get blamed for driving skylines yet a camry owner can do this shit).. and then I got honked turning off into work, I was like, "WTF, are my brake lights out or something"..

As for the car over the embamkment, yeh, umm.. Last friday night, one of the bus drivers parked his car to go check his job sheet for the next day, came out and said "someone stolen me car". Little did he know, the handbrake wasn't on and it rolled over the edge. Were still waiting for a tow truck to come pull it out.

He is lucky, there was a gum tree to the right and to the left there is a weak part of the fence. One cement mixer is all it would take... I think the funniest part of it all is that we let these people drive people in coaches :-P

Spotted a maroon R32 heading up Mugga Way away from Revolve. I was just coming down from the tip way, to busy checking for traffic by the time I saw you go by.

Oh and the car has now been removed from the side of our hill JD.

    • 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. 🤣
