Hey dezz that queer colour that Charles' bike came in looks real different under certain lights. It's a weird pearlescent blue. In the day it's metallic aqua...under unnatural light it's dark blue...and depending on angle, up close, it looks purple lol. Definitely nabbed himself a bargain either way, that slip on is worth ~$800 alone.

Yeah queer color or not he got an awesome price for the year/kms.. The guy he bought it off must've realized he was hetrosexual after all, and therefore had to sell.

Funny you mention it though, a guy at work was telling me this morning that one of the other apprentices is selling his blue ninja 250 for $3500... It's an 09 model and didn't ask how many kms, but he said it's been dropped, so not ideal...especially come re-sale time for me

Bike looks good in person, color looks heaps better than pics show

Yer but mine looks similar to 04-08. The biggest change for R1 was in 09, which I'm not a huge fan of. Even then it's only really the headlight assembly + slight change to front fairings lookswise. The rest of the bike looks basically the same!

Hanging for a bike manufacturer to do some radical changes to their bikes, like Kwaka did with the new Ninja.

Why do people expect to pay the same as USA for cars? Granted we pay too much but it should cost more here simple supply and demand just not 5 times as much lol

Not expecting the same, but also not expecting nearly twice the price either. May not get under 40k for the base model, and with Subaru only bringing in the top spec model that will be close to a WRX.

    • 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!
