one of mine seems to think it's a dog - can't ignore, wants constant pats and attention

My cat thinks its a dog too. She retrieves things you throw and puts them back at your feet to throw again.

Have never tried that, but I don't think he would - fetching it would eat into pat time

i will, just gonna see if I can get in any cheaper through duty free

Don;t buy Duty free it a rip off.

(I can price one up for you next week if you like.)

what I suggest is shop around and buy one in AU eg Kogan or JB HiFI then use TRS.

For those unaware of TRS:

you buy product in AU,

if item (or combined items on one receipt) is greater than 300AU and less than 1000 (this can be combined for multiple travelers so up to 2000$)

and you are taking the item with you

you go to the counter after passport control

shop invoice, item and give Credit card, they then refund the GST.

so you get best price less GST

DUty free in AU is rip off, and very small in Fiji

short of going to HK this is the cheapest way to get one

oh and goods must be bought less than 30 days prior to travel.

ehh.

if you can check when you go it'll be good, i can get the 16gb through work for 350$ which seems to be about $20 off lol. but thats probably as far as i get with Apple setting prices. Kogan was about the same..

might just get one locally then

hmm, I think I've had postage refunded - but yeah, they usually make you pay return postage

If they refunded me the total purchase price including postage, I'd happily pay the return postage as it'd be regular post and cost SFA...I paid a massive premium for express

Yeah a PayPal dispute usually gets you a full refund. You and a seller both get a chance to plead your case and then PayPal make their decision based on the evidence. It could go either way but generally they'll side with the buyer

Interesting.

my cat is currently sitting on my feet. being a cat.

also loves sitting in front of the tv when ps3-ing or watching anime.

totally a cat.

When I had a cat, Laptops and iPads were like pussy magnets...

    • 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!
