hm tramlining realy sucks,& i only have a DR30 skyline with 205/60/15's on it! got my susp checked over today and i need new 'idler arm bushes, lower ball joint bushes, and radius rod bushes'. getting all these replaced with polyurethane ones next wednesday so hopefully this fixes my tramlining issues!

having a steering box and not rack on pinion i guess doesnt help either due to the steering having much more free play in it and tending to wander abit in a straight line anyway if its got no weight on it, so when it starts to tramline its pretty hard to get hold of!

i got 215/45/17s going on all round in a couple of months though so i beter sort this tramlining now while i got 15s or im buggered i think! haha

guy at susp place didnt say anything about upper control arm bushes so i can only assume he checked them out when generally checking the suspension today.. :cheers:

I had three people look at my alignment to no avail, it would track to the right constantly and tramline badly, One of them actually said the strut was bent causing a mis-camber. When I eventually changed the tyres to 255/40/17s all round, I had an allignment performed and all is perfect now, tracks true, trams much less and the alligment readout is perfect. And here I was thinking something had been damaged.

BTW. car has Bilstein adj. coil overs.

      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)

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      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. 🤣
