I popped down to Chasers Tuning out near Nrth Melbourne and gees was there some hot cars there!!

I got some quotes for front mount piping ($800 fitted) and the owner Benny who is the nicest bloke I have met in a long time and he had a chat to me for over an hour.

He showed me this beautiful red twin turbo Supra that had just come in and told me the owner had paid 50k for the engine to be worked over to milk out a min 680hp at the rear treads.

There was a drift R32 being prepped there which was getting a worked RB25DET installed and a drift 180sx that he told me had a cool 56k in modifications.

He also told me a new project that he was about to start work on for an R34 GTR to break the skyline land speed record. He said this car would smash the dyno record for a GTR.

The other more alarming aspect of my visit was when Benny was looking at my car and said "Hey this is Matty Pyman's old R32, last time I saw this it had a shitload of electrical issues and needed a new engine loom"

Anyway I'm hoping these problems were fixed!!

Does anyone know the symptoms to tell if your loom is f*cked!

The moral to this post is that if you want a professional highly enthusistic team to work on your car head down to Chasers! I have been to heaps of performance places over the years and most of them are really tight about letting you into the shop. Benny will talk your ear off for hours and get as excited as a convict in a brothel. I have been told he used to test drive F1 cars and Nascars in Japan and has performance cars flowing through his blood

    • 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. 🤣
