Nice, well thats pretty much good enough to start getting a feel of the results. The results I would think could be bias also because the people reading the most threads & replying are people in IT who are on a computer all day.

So the stats have brought in so far:

We mainly drive r33 Gtsts

We're mainly true blue

& We all have IT jobs.

It's a pretty crazy result so far when you think about it or is it? Do other car forums have similar polls, threads like this one & do people who say drive wrx's, on a wrx forum, do a lot all reply saying they are in IT too because a forum is a computer thing. Are skylines really driven by more IT people than any other car.

If that is true, What is it about there being so many IT people with skylines like myself.

Is it because we earn good money?

Is it because we need to show off our selves?

Are there many reasons to why IT people own skylines or a few reasons in particular.

I dont know if i can even answer that myself. Personally, i love imports, skylines & supra's my fav. I love the best bang for bucks type cars... with the r33 gtst being one of the most affordable bang for bucks cars.

So i love the skyline because of its power, looks, & import factor, something different 'even though there are a lot of them, but not compared to say a commodore, falcon, or corolla'.

When i think about it too, a car can represent someone fairly well. I spose another reason why i chose the skyline is because it shows my success for someone of my age. I dont mean to brag but i'm trying to look at this in the most direct way, only say 3% 'not sure of percentage' of people can buy a $20 k car on there own @ 18 without help of parents. Although I had so many people 'guys' from my school think my dad bought my car & this really shits me off... F#ck off, i work smart & hard and this is how i show it i spose.

Do i have the car for the girl factor, sure it helps, women are materialistic *for the women reading, yeh us guys are too, but we're more materialistic about a womans breasts than her money :/*. Do i go & hang with all the others in done up cars picking up 16 year old girls... No, not at all. If you meet a girl, you go out with her, pick her up in a nice fast car, yeh its certainly a plus. A lot of girls love skylines 'from what i've found', like a lot of you would probably have experienced, in a car park or somewhere some girls have run up & asked about your car starting talking to you 'verrrrrry materialistic hahah' When i first got my car had random chix ringing me up seeing if i wanted to take'em for drive! What the. Cant say i got that when i had the hyundai excel... lol

I'm just not sure what is is about skylines & IT people 'if it is true that skylines are dominated by IT people', im sure there are many reasons for different types of people. Eg, a mechanic might love his GTR because of it's sheer potential.

I think the most interesting answer would be to the question "Do a lot of IT people have similar personalities & interests which are associated with their occupation"

I love a fast car & a r33 gtst to me is the best looking car to get running down a 1/4 mile in 12 secs for $25 k.

    • 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!
