haha.. tell me about it!.. why you think every day i look at my car i'm just thinking of giving up the ghost and going straight for the big stuff.

R32 GTR are pretty much the same price. Even under SEVS i could get a nice 92 or so R32 GTR for around $22k, probably what mine would be worth. Thats of course if you like the R32.. many don't

No plates for 32 gtr's under sevs yet that im aware of...

I think the 32's look tough...

Its a skyline thing to have GTR thoughts every month or two, lol

definitely :D my thoughts have been continuing to the one point for several months now. As long as I can get $22k for my R33 its a done deal.

yeah, i'm becoming a bit more of a fan of the R32 GTR. Not so many around (up here), can look neato, and go hard of course. The only concern would be the mechanicals at that age.

True that...

What do you think id get for my car once its all painted???

yer.. plates for the R32 GTR are a while off.. but they will come.

Soon there will be no option anyhow once the 15 year bites it .. i predict about 3 months. Although somebody said "no big changes are done in an election year" which could be true.

If so i have a few months to keep thinking.

hmm.. no idea! What mods do you have again?

Mine i'm *hoping* because of the mods, and in the end the full kit about $22k. The paintjob though is starting to get a bit rougher...and the km will turn off some i think.

i can of course fix that for $300 or so :D

Yeah, 15 year rule is goooonnnneeeeee

I dunno, I was thinking of leasing a 33 gtr a few days back... bank said it was fine, until they found out it was more than 6 years old...

i'm getting to the point where i'm just thinking **** it, if idiots are going to be obsessed by km, when mine has done 100,000km or so and is probably *fairly* close to that.. and some that says "60,000km" but there is no way in hell its done that little.. i might be paying a visit to the wreckers for a certain part.

LMFAO!! You rebel!!

Id be happy with $20k for my car....

banks are shit aren't they :D only want you to get new stuff so they can repossess or sell it if the time comes.

In my old job, they probably would have given me enough for a $70,000 R34 GTR, as it was under the 5 years or whatever, yet i had to get a personal loan for the R33 as it was "too old" to be eligible as a car loan :D

yeah i'd reckon $20k for yours would be fair.. hard to tell of course. When you look at a car looking a bit hacked (yours with the unpainted from bar.. or mine with the multicolouredness) people always go "erk, what a load of crap".. but soon as its painted its a whole different car.

When i went from old split, undercoated patches, half sanded back GTR bar, and dented panel to *bling* again my whole perception, and others of my car changed. So hope that is the case when fixed.

Yeap...

Its kinda lame...

I was going to lease a 34gtr through my old company at the end of last year... was still going to cost 15k a year in payments so i thought better of that... lol

Yeah its so true... perception is reality...

Once both are painted the will be very very nice looking...

Hey MJ :wavey:

    • 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!
