Any of you engineering students doing mechanical engineering?

i think downshift is doing mechanical.

jonoe does civil.

kaitoukid does process aka chemical eng.

Hehe nah bro; I do aerospace! There's a fair amount of cross-over with mechanical, as you can imagine, though.

nah nothing like that...

he got the car painted ford xr5 orange and we all told him he'd cop a defect from the first cop that saw him....

he drove it out of the panel shop (DT and before he was even out of that little side street.... BOOM! first cop that saw the orange defected him!

touch f**king wood then! but my car hardly see's road anyway. i have a missus that takes me everywhere lol

LOL! Video link?

lol its on his phone.. looks like the same mistake i made at sandown

faster, faster .... CORNER FAAAAAAAARRKKKKK

lol

Bike is more economical than I thought. Quicker than a 911 turbo, I thrashed it for the whole tank and it still delivered 7L/100km...umad car owners?

no... the money i save in hospital bills will easily outweigh your petrol savings

LOL! @ the Volvo too!

Hah!

I think he miss-judged the corner or braked too late.

Nick I expect an invitation when you get those beauties

For sure man, I got a box of 25 so nearly half will go for my cousins buck's weekend and have 14 left over (hopefully :P)

the other 20 are to try for my next order, two of each so me and my bro will finish those ;)

ah nice they'd go down pretty fkn sweet with some good scotch

need to find some cohibas for new years eve

U gonna be rich

False.

There is no aerospace design industry in Australia. There is Boeing in pt melb but that is just a manufacturing wing. Designs come from America.

Apply for mech jobs and hr will knock you back as they want mech eng not aerospace.

Have couple friends who did aerospace. Had a real hard time finding jobs.

    • 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. 🤣
