Hey Aaron, I thought I had passed all the stuff on. I was sure you'd keep it all :) Glad to see you on the forum.

If there is anything I can do for you mate, please don't hesitate to ask. So sorry to hear you were involved in a crash through no fault of your own. I know you treated that car very well and i'm sure the engine has plenty of life in it yet. You have the receipts so you know what that engine cost so I hope you get a good price for it. It was a great set-up for a street car. The car itself was probably the nicest R32 I've owned and i've owned about a dozen. I'd say it's as nice or nicer than the one I've got now which I plan to keep for a long time.

As to gtr_23qu's question on power the engine builder was told it needed to handle 600hp but honestly a decent stock motor will handle that. The base N1 Nur engine is supposedly rated to 600hp anyway but this one was blueprinted and has a 1.2mm tomei head gasket fitted. I would be comfortable pushing it to 400kw atw+ for a street car. It has a few key bits that will enable it to handle some decent boost and power.

You dont know how much i want for it yet , you might not want it then :)

lol, well I know what it cost and it's not cheap. N1 block, N1 oil and water pumps, ported head, N1 pistons, tomei head gasket, tomei timing belt, all blue-printed and all other bits are brad new down to ever last nut/bolt/seal whatever. a lot more than what is replaced in the average rebuild. hope you get good money for it Aaron. :)

    • 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. 🤣
