Glenn: As per last night, won't have car back. Will probably come along to lend a hand. Will bring my tools and stuff anyhow. Might do something to the r31, dunno.

kinda looking forward on working on your car though :D

seeya tmr then.

that one is around $250..

a bargain basement one will just bother me.. i might be keeping the r31 for a while as just a thrash around car. Even that one i'd put in another car. It'd actually be better than the model i have in my r33 (which was the older model)

yeah :D i'm a bit pissed over it too.. but panel beaters its one excuse after another, and then one day when u least expect it they say "hey, your car is done".

The main concern in the r33 is the brake fluid.. up nebo the other time i was getting brake probs on the way down.. bit of a worry. Gearbox and diff is fine, but time they were changed. I mean i've done 30,000km since i've had it, and they have never been changed.

Oil, sparkplugs and the filters i've changed regularly.. but not the other more longterm stuff

this indicate i need a good rub-down...

any recommendations? :D

Warwick told me of a good place the other day. YOu need to book in online before you turn up though. http://www.squizzlovepalace.com.au

apparently the first inch is free, and they offer a "full service" whatever that means. Or so warwick tells me.

    • 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!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
