gave him a whisker start just to see if he was dinkum, and he was.

A bit of extra boost does make a difference, even on an auto and new Iridiums have gotten rid of the missing, related to the upped boost. Wasn't a lot in it but the main thing is, he got done. Would have been good to have seen the result if some of the other guys' "lines" had tackled him.

Thanx Chris,

Yeah I got a dose of my daughters driving on Saturday when we hired a motorised golf buggy at Hillview. She wanted to drive the buggy and it kind of gave me a fore-warning of what could happen when she gets her license and begs me to let her drive the "line". She nearly killed the lot of us.

My daughter is competing on Sundays MC day.

I was thinking of letting her use the Skyline but that would defeat the purpose somewhat as I want her to learn how to handle her own car

Trip was great

Hid the keys with Lumpy

Yes it's in but not working yet.

There has been a hitch with the interface between the unit and the R34's ignition timing system. We are waiting for an answer from Japan so hopefully it will be a goer soon.

Unfortunately the S-AFC had to be removed so it's lost a lot of power temporarily.

Hopefully it'll be OK for the MC day but obviously will mean slower times:(

cheers

Joe:D

Nice try Joe but no, spectators are free and encouraged to add moral support and help with timing and writing on scoreboard.

As the venue is behind the gokarts on wattle av in pinjar ( wanneroo ) , then I think the cott is a bit far away Boostzor.

    • 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. 🤣
