Hey guyz,

I got to drive my old mr2 gt 2 weeks ago when my fwend whom i havent seen for ages came over. The funny thing is we parted on bad terms (me and the car).. The mr2 got written off by someone hitting her head on. So after a rebuild which my fwend bought off me and fixed I gots to drive her once again.

Funny thing is i had the car for 4 years prior to the current vehicle. And when i drove it again memories starting flashing by me again. This was my first truboed car and man did i get into a lotta shit and fun with this car.. women/fines/mech probs/track days.

Its like that feeling when u run into an ex and start talking to em.

Im wondering if i need help upstairs. Been thinking about it a fair bit at night now. :lol:

cef.

U P...duuuude can't wait to get behind the wheel and have it actually make some noise when I put the key in etc. I'm sick of sitting in it out the front with grass growing around it going "vrrroooom braoommm pashuuuu" when 14 year old kids walk past on their way home from school...

Seriously it's bad, my lil bro drives my old man's hippy ass hiace home from school with dad on his L's (bro not my dad) and im in the skyline throwin the wheel left, right...then u should hear my mates in the back bro... uuunnnnnsss uuuunnnssss fully sleeek stylin brosky... I still can't figure out why people look funny at us when they walkin past!!!

    • 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. 🤣
