Black R33 S1 with big Chromies on Lhotsky st just Now.

Gave him a 2nd gear Spooling and BOV with a Wave, got a nod. :yes:

That was me. and the rims are not big its 18" Running 265 rears and 235 front.

It only comes out on weekend bought it 4 years ago and only done like 20000kms on it, sits in my garage all the time next to my brothers daily R34GTT. I think he was spotted few days ago by someone on here who drives a Red R34 with vic number plate.

So, again I spotted the black R35 GTR in my street. But there is a bit of a story this time.

SO LETTUCE BEGIN, I spotted this black R35 GTR pulling into my street as I was starting my car up - I wasted no time in getting Rosie's phat ass on the road to finally find out where this guy lives. I fenged it down the road on a cold engine (Sorry Rosie - but sometimes you gotta take one for the team) and chucked a hard left (Where the GTR went) as I was prowling the street I notice this blue looking car which looks similar to Rosie (Slightly) as I drive by I notice that it's a R34 GTR bayside blue sitting on the edge of the road facing me, as I take a deep breath and slowly passing by I notice the R34 GTR's window is down with someone in it, I look at him like some kid in a toy shop, mouth wide open and eyes glued (Sorry kids in front of me, but I was willing to either hit you or hit the curb - my eyes weren't going off this baby), as I looked stunned - the owner of the R34 GTR looks straight at me and gave me a nod; as I attempt to do a "cool guy" nod I realised that my neck was so stiff from keeping eyes on this car...that I almost hit my forehead on the steering wheel in attempt to send the nod that I received back in respect. So after making a fool of myself I carry on looking for this black R35 GTR that prowls my street. I chuck a few turns and lost the bad boy, assuming it was garaged before I could get a glimpse. As I was exiting a side street I finally drive pass the R35 GTR with 2 asian looking fellas standing behind it.. eyes once again glued on the GTRs of the world - I look at this black ass in amazement as I get stared down from the two owners. No time to pay my respect with a nod or wave, I simply stared ever so rudely, but I didn't care, it was a R35 GTR. As I was rolling passed the R35, I noticed the R34 GTR right in front of me, I find out exactly where this R35 GTR lives and chucked a right with a gear snap to show these GTR owners I am of honour to own a Skyline, as I go to change gear again.... I crunched..........

NOOOOO - I'm now in hiding.

GTR's are owned by 2 asian brothers. Big brother drives the R35 and the younger one drives the R34. Last time i had a chat with them found out that the R34 had a oil leak

Edit* Silver R34 with F&F type stripe on rear Quarter just drove past my house.

Pretty sure he lives around there - I have been driving with him to walk couple times. He's not shy to give his car a kick haha

Drove past your work again today 4pm, no Stagea :(

Also, would you believe I work in the suburb but until last week had no idea there was that new road that goes up from near the Monaro to join Gladstone Street? lol

It's only there sometimes, otherwise its parked in manuka at the missus work :)

Yeh catches a lot of people by surprise. It's quicker coming into fysh but takes longer at those lights leaving haha

    • 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!
