I wouldn't say so..... I drove a Mk4 RZ on the weekend and DAMN!!! they pick up so well and the feeling you get when the 2nd turbo comes on boost is absolutely amazing. Plus that 6th gear just tops it off.

I would own 1 in a second

I thought supras were simultaneously turbochrged not sequential?

Its simultaneously turbocharged, but they kick in sequentially.. If that makes sense

No issues with Skylines vs * here. Thats why ronin is still here, he is our token toyota driver. :D

The supra is a real sports car though, they are just so nice to drive. I prefer skylines, but if Nissan didnt make the skyline I would probably have a 350z, but if they didnt make a 350z then maybe I would go a supra.. maybe.. hehe

The Supra's are SEQUENTIAL.

it has 2 x CT12B turbo's.

Unlike the Liberty B4 which has one bigger than the other.

there is some sort of valve that allows boost to go to the second turbo as the revs go up and at say 3000rpm (eg as I don't know the exact rev point), the valve is completely and both turbo's are boosting away...

I'd love one..

There are 2 wires in the ECU that are grounded that activates the 2nd turbo.

I would imagine the grounding of those 2 wires would activate some sort of butterfly in the exhaust manifold that would then allow the 2nd turbo to build boost...

I could be wrong though

But that system like the rx7 always plays up, hence y people go 1 single or twins with new manifolds.

My boss has a 1927 Bentley which he drive to work on a friday once a month. Hmm its friday and its in the carpark :)

Oi - ONLY toyota driver here???? :)

ok - so i don't post much - but i'm here - lurking around

There are things acronymed to VSV's (some sort of valves) that open up actuators (like a wastegate) at certain RPM - there are two because it first opens up the exhaust section (to spin up the turbo) then the intake - so that an already boosting turbo is helping out the first one :D

You can still catch it out though between the turbos :mad:

As for the Skyline vs Supra vs Anything else - it's nice to poke fun at my mates with skylines, it's always meant with a mountain of salt. All in good fun.

As for Exas... well... that's just not on ;)

PS Tosh - you're welcome, when you get your car sorted, i'd love a drive of teh MR2

    • 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!
