oh well....

I will definatly be there.... so please don't knock me off the list... just the rest of the crew won't have their cars ready till the end of march...

I'll come down twice.... so maybe we'll just have to organise a cruise saturday night which will be the 29th of March....

what do you think guys???

i'll try to get Jay excited about rebuilding the 180.

we ripped it down the other day and although there is some dissagreement in the party.... I think we will just get away with a hone and a new piston...

actually if you want to check out the photo's of jays piston check out the Wasteland... squizzmobile in hospital/Spank HQ and check out page 55... i think.... it's around there anyway...

it did do a nasty job of destroying the piston....

anyway slip... it looks like it will be just my car in the skid pan day... and I am still really really really looking forward to it....

we'll still bring the crew down sometime... probably on the 29th if you can get some sort of cruise happening it would be awsome...

Ouch, cheap shot :)

Dunno how it'll affect times around Mt Cotton (probably slower, more dorifto!) but the suspension should stop 'incidents' like the one on the way out of Gary's place (tandem drift over the crest of a hill) from being quite so bloody scary... by the way, did Gary tell you his exchange students this time are two 21yo French girls?

/me waits for 'ooh la la' comment :D

I'm from the gold coast and intend on gettin a skyline within the next year (still at uni atm). Got directed here by iNark (mate of mine from melb) who's a bit of a regular. So far the forums have been really helpful and I'd love to come along and check out the qld crew goin nuts and meet some of you :)

Be great if it was March 2, got nothing planned that weekend. So yeh, hopefully me + 1 or 2 mates will come up and have a look once its all confirmed.

    • 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!
