Spotted Troy in Tuggers today

During the day around 1pm?

Spotted myself rear-ending some guy in his white commodore wagon this afternoon.....he who hesitates is lost, and I must say I can't stand it when someone hesitates at a roundabout. Not to say I wasn't in the wrong, but when someone starts to move forward when there's a break they should follow through on it instead of hitting the brakes.

On that note, WTB front bumper and *maybe* reo for R33.

Front bar is rooted, reo is bashed in (cracked along centre screw...probably just bend back), and bonnet took a hit and arched a little - I just sat on it and thumped it a few times and she looks ok apart from the dint where the impact was lol

Also hoping I haven't damaged the cooler or piping...can't f**king tell thanks to MAP sensor! :(

Spotted the damage I've done to the other dude's car - sweet shit all. Minor dent in the boot (wagon) and some paint exchange on his bumper. Bumper hasn't moved which is good :D should be easy fix. The guy's really understanding about it too, totally apologetic for getting his rage on haha.

On a side note, this was the only upside to that whole day:

    • 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. 🤣
