Spotted at least 4 in the City.

Ended up driving around a bit with GZ R33 and a Black R32 GTR with Bronze wheels and Amaru...was phat, apart from me driving my daily hack :)

Yeah good fun, we will have to do it again.

Spotted 4 R33's in about 10 mins yesterday, first was a Silver SII at the speed hump on Learmonth drive, kambah, waved, got one back :D , then i saw a Wine Red 33 get a lil "tail happy" onto athlon drive near tuggeranong pool, then there was a 4door 33 a few cars ahead of me on athlon near the tuggeranong markets, and another Wine Red one waiting at the lights next to Repco

And they tell me these are rare cars :looney:

spotted very nice white R33 going past the deaking shops and left onto commonwealth av at about 3:45 this arvo, i was about 100m behind you chasing to catch up but the bogan in a volvo in front of me decided that going under the speed limit would more enjoyable for everyone else stuck behind him.

:)

also spotted pretty much every retarded driver in canberra(thats alot) going home today at about 3:45. i kept getting shafted by buses and dic*s going under the speed limit and in the right lane :(

Much Skyline spotting last night-Amaru was the only one I can put a name to the car;there was also a red R32 GTS-T w/FMIC and no rear wing "having a nudge" up Lonsdale Street,plus a "Auto Salon'd" luminescent pink slammed R33 GTS-T,some silver R33's,a black R34 GT-T...the list goes on! I didn't have my car out last night-pity! Hope you all had fun,dammit!

the red r32 was me. glad i have been spotted

    • 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. 🤣
