Semi's fitted, boot full of e85... Bring on Sandown tomorrow.

I just hope I can wake up that early, I struggled to get up at midday today. :P

picking up some spare fuel on the way there, car desperatly needs a wash so quick rinse in morning, fuel and then fun times..

46 entries what was the wrx day 120...if things go well you will be doing a run for more E85 part way through the day..

Oil change done, have 60L of E85, figured there's a station nice and close for top-ups if the car decides to last the full day, gonna go out there now and pack up a bunch of basic tools and stuff...

Clutch been slipping for a while then really badly last week or so. Pulled it out today. Pfft, plenty of meat left :P

not launching it hard enough

anyone know much about Nissan gearboxes? gloria has 4 speed auto RE4R03B. needs a shift kit pretty badly. some options:

1) Wholesale Automatics (and apparently Knox Automatics) do shift kits for the RE4R03A out of a patrol. might not be that dissimilar?

2) attempt to fit a M35 stag 5 speed auto and ECU, then try to source a shift kit.

also need to start thinking about diffs... R200 RC35 apparently. would be happy with a viscous or 1.5 helical/mechanical.

Y u no clutch diff?

clutch and mechanical same thing?

im guessing like everything else car related, theres no way to know if a diff centre will fit until you try to fit it? dont want to buy one and then its a no-go. reading about the long-nose and short-nose R200's :wacko:

    • 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. 🤣
