Got a new front bumper for the car as my current one has had a tough life

G4ukN1pl.jpg

I got the bumper and all brand new hardware for mounting the bar, and the front lip to the bar, Thankfully the mesh, reo, vents etc etc can be reused from my old bumper, will be saving that aside for when the car goes in for paint (hopefully soon!)

Thanks to the guys at justjap for being really helpful and organizing the fastener kit!.. I should note, they told me that the bar has now been discontinued from nissan and i was one of the last people to get a new one that they know of, which is exciting! - I guess you can still buy the stock GTR bar, but the N1 version is now no longer Available! if you guys are looking for one, hit up a retailer soon and get one before they're gone :)

Cheers

I don't think it's an actual kit by nissan, but the boys at just jap put it together for me

Parts are as follows

Front bumper attaching to the front reo bar
01461-00781 - SCREW x10

01241-00791 - CLIP x10

Front lower lip to front bumper

K9601-13921 - BOLT x5

08911-2062H - NUT-HEX x5

N1 Front bumper cover (try your luck, some nissan dealership might have one sitting around?)
62022-06U25

Some screws and clips from the 10 are used to secure the lip also

There is also a bag of 7 push lock clip things which don't have a part number on the bag, sorry

hey mate any idea on your wheel alignment settings?? on the rear?

Hey man, to be honest i don't, yet..

I can tell you from my eyes it's cambering in at the back a considerable amount from being lowered as much as it is and also toe'ing in due to the arms being at such odd angles, planning on raising it soon to hopefully fix that, but the guards will need some attention i think

Car has been good lately, took it for a drive up to the blue mountains yesterday

Met up with a very well known forum member

"that car from speedhunters" haha

Explorered a few of the roads around there, some very nice sweepers and tight hairpins, highway patrol also had a good look at both of our skylines on the side of the road

Weather was okay, overcast and patchy rain, thankfully it wasn't too hot and the roads were quiet!

Took the road all the way up through Bilpin and had a chunky steak pie for lunch, followed by some local made fudge for the road, next time ill get the apple pie, looked really good

Drove all the way up to the Evans lookout. I would have loved to have kept going all day, there's certainly a lot to explore but i was getting really tired as i didn't get the best nights sleep and had a drive back to Sydney ahead of me

Then all the way back home!

Thanks Terry for suggesting a few roads and coming to say gday, nice to meet you :)

Not much has been happening on the modification front

I raised the car about 30mm all round, i think it looks a lot better, it's much more comfortable and i can get into my suburb without any bumps of scrapes now which is great

But I'm about to leave to go the the UK for 6 weeks so I'm putting the car in the garage at my dads house and leaving it there until i return :)

This car has unfortunately been sold.

I am focusing on my new job for the time being and hope to be playing with cars in a few months when I have had a think about what I want, and decided on a direction to go.

I will still be on the forum most days chatting to people and offering advice, If a mod could lock this thread? or we can let it simply fade away.

Thanks everyone

:cheers:

    • 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!
