Hey mate was sorry to see that beautiful car in the wall. Um just a tip may want to list a starting price for the car in your add. Good luck with the sale mate. I know if you contact FATZ he might be interested.

So sorry to hear.

Yes and if you do wish to sell items separately, you can PM me a price on all exterior items (except for the Kranze of course).

I can easily pick up from southern suburbs.

Regards Terry

So sorry it was a lovely car, you would be better off stripping it for parts prob make more cash, I have space and a hoist if you decided to and needed a hand

Thanks mate, I appreciate the offer...

Wow man that sucks...would hate that to happen to me when mines ready...

If you decide to part I would love the n1 side skirts pm me if u do I don't live too far from peakhurst as well

Tez has beat you to it unfortunately :P

We nearly have enough hands to take advantage of Scott's kind offer and strip this car to help a brother sell his car; albeit as parts!

Entrepreneurial Suggestion for a Win-Win :- I can approach Performance Imports to come and do an article called, "How Long Does It Take To Strip A Thief-Magnet?"

With PI doing an article with stop watch and camera in hand, it can be all witnessed for a mag feature. Meanwhile, all workers (aka buyers) work as feverishly as they can to pull the car apart - but as incentive to create some sort of record, the crew pays $10 per hour to a charity eg Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.

Win-Win??

Btw, all buyers will be searched as they leave Scott's workshop and if you are caught with Scott's 'socket in ya pocket', you need to donate an extra $1K! :P

Terry cool idea you certainly are a great ideas man. I wonder if that was to happen maybe we could all get any pictures we may have of 8th sin it's her undamaged glory for the magazine article , cause damn she was pretty

OK, we're trying to get this thing off the ground.

Hopefully we'll get a reply from Jason &/or Adrian soon, because your dilemma I know will be, "What if someone comes along in the meantime and wants the whole car?"

    • 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!
