Hello all,

So as the title states I’ve been a long time User of this forum. I purchased a salvaged GTR in April of last year and have slowly been working on it to get it on the road. I’ll post some pics of where I started to the point I’m at now. There is still a decent amount of work that needs to be done and I typically get a few hours a week to put my work in. I am still learning and by no means a car guru, just a grown kid who never lost his love for GTR’s. I appreciate the read and any suggestions!

Welcome !

Wow, I hope you have assessed how much money you are about to part with to restore that, let alone modifying it (if you want to)

Good luck with it !

Thank you! 90 percent of the time its never a good idea to throw money into a car, period. But I’m in it for a humble amount and have been pretty lucky so far in the journey. On the flip-side don’t be surprised to see me in these forums asking for advice more often than not ?

Hey everyone, been awhile since I’ve posted. Been pretty busy though. Heres some pics. 
 

also, would anyone suggest something about my cams? Is it normal to look so “cooked”? Thanks. Happy New Years.

Wow, looks like you've been extremely busy.😀 How is the body coming along any pics?

Body is straight, was able to get that done before covid. Its the “little” pieces which has been time (and money!) consuming. But I’m taking my time

    • 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. 🤣
