I got to mine with a 3inch exhaust basically in the way just using my 1/2 inch ratchet straight into the plug ( or a short extention can't remember)

Finding it is harder than undoing it!

Ah well the car is going onto stands soon/this afternoon. Going to change the oil in my transfer case (hasn't been done since I've owned it) and maybe have a stab at flushing my gearbox. I bought some chef synthetic atf from supercheap a while ago to do the job (says it's matic d compliant/compatible).

I ended up flagging the rear diff and serviced my transfer case instead (did it with the car on the ground reaching under).

Car's too much effort to get off the ground, doesn't go up ramps I need to drive onto blocks of wood to get a jack under it and when I jack up one end and put it on stands I can't fit the jack under the other end lol. Might leave that one to the professionals.

fkin A!

its a difficult job on the floor

plug often super tight

may need to remove cat back to get at it with enough leverage

and then you need to refill the damn thing from below, and fluid doesn't like travelling uphill.

dead easy on a hoist with the right tools

Hmm I didn't realise it was that much hassle. Ive done them quite a few times, and done it when I have the car up on 4 stands.

As I mentioned, a few flex joints helps to do the twisting outside the wheel well. Another pair of hands helps too! It's tricky keeping a floppy pole in a hole.

      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

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      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!
