umm Jamezilla, if ur in melbourne, theres no need to get one from that ebbro site. i've bought a R34 calsonic GTR for around $40 from Big W. For more variety u can get the same thing at the hobby shop on lonsdale st. costs you from $50 - $60. still cheaper than $70.

Turtle:

Thanks - will have to pop in next time I am in the city.

Was there a couple of months back looking at RC cars - keen for a gas powered one, but not sure I want a race-track only one :

I have got quite a few

you can buy die-cast 1:18 scale R34's from most hobby shops, as well as plastic kits. Diecast stuff is usually $80+ and the plastic kits can be had for about $30.

i currently have 5 group A 1:18 R32's, 2 1:18 R34's, 1 1:12 (huge) palstic 32 GTR and about 10 smaller palstic skylines, great fun, and they look good - they are also cheaper than the real thng

Best place to try is your local hobby store, or ebay

yer as the other guys (and gals:) ) have already mentioned, going down to your local hobby shop or even target/kmart etc.. will be the best and easiest way to get model skylines.

im pretty sure you can even get a tamiya remote control r34 (more likely from a hobby shop). you can just buy the kit without the remote which would be pretty awesome, not to mention how much fun putting together a model car is, especially a remote control car.

    • 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!
