Thanks mate, I cant take all the credit for this one, bought it with engine built, just improving on it ;)

After building my old red zed and then getting defected (and subsequently parting it out) I wasnt going to do the whole lot again from scratch

Scored a HPC coated plenum with 55mm throttle bodies the other night. Been looking for a throttle body upgrade to complete the breather mods for a while now :)

Also I still have to sort of the ducting to the side mounts.

Because v6, 2 banks, 2 intakes, 2 exhaust manis. Already noticing some variations between the 2. Particularly at idle and light cruise. Not small variations either. Need to swap the sensors over and see if the readings swap also. Hopefully they do and its just a sensor on the way out.

  • 2 weeks later...

So I removed the plenum on Sat, to swap over for another with larger throttle bodies.

Got it all back together Sat night (before the cruise on sunday) and couldn't get the idle down below 1500rpm. I am assuming that it is the butterflies on the new throttle bodies that are leaking :(

Going to have to swap them out again so I can at least enjoy driving the POS over the holidays.

So after boost leak testing everything, in sections, all I found was a pin hole leak in one of my new hardpipes. Other than that it is tip top. Idle issues seem to have been resolved with a simple TPS reset. Voltage was correct, but wasn't getting a throttle closed signal.

Haven't test driven yet, pointing to should be good tho!

    • 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!
