Oh they'd hold up alright with his driving style....you really have to keep that thing above 6-7k for a while and around long corners and shit to start starving the bearings. Oh, and a dyno at a certain workshop that will not be mentioned will also do it :D

Just run an extra L of oil for track days ;)

Blanchview is free, Nick :P

Non-members still pay a fair bit. I'm not poor but I have reasons to be saving as much as I can at this point in time so I'll have to pass on Happy Laps until things settle down a little on my end.

Moreover, am looking forward to catching up with everybody and any new members that show up :)

BTW, why does everybody think Chris drives his car slow? My reputation is unmatched 'round these parts.

Yeh they do cost a fair bit these days! It's more for the social side of things than anything...kinda forgot that they put it up by like $20 =/ Used to be $30 for non-members grrr

Yeh well I'm an unemployed bum too haha...but I reckon I might end up going yet.

Haha, well, you reckon I drive slow....you should see Chris. I almost stall out when driving off at the lights behind him ;) jk

What's with all the picking on me as to how I drive my car? I drive my car with the respect it deserves. I on the odd occasion give the old girl a squirt and maybe take the revs past 4k. I know I baby the car but if any of you owned it would yous drive it any differently to the way I do?

Anyone is welcome with any car. Except Nick and the General lee ;)

Although hell be there come hell or high water. :/

I wasn't giving you sh1t? I'd do the exact same. It's quite refreshing to see one being preserved. :)

    • 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. 🤣
