I had such an adrenilin rush last night....tset of traffic lights a VX HSV,celica turbo & XR6 turbo pulled up beside me :P  not sure if the HSV was worked or not it was louder then standard but the xr6 was really beefy you could her the spoolin really loudly and it sounded like it was a big v8 when he steped on it.  I only have a stock r32 gtst .

We had a series of runs and each time i kept up with both these cars up until about 100km p/h then they pulled away bout a car length, the celica was nowhere to be found.

Does this sound about right for my stock GTST or should i feel proud they didnt walk all over me

your comments please.. :)

You want my comment?

Your a moron, and nobody is impressed

haha ... are you sure you wernt dreaming? Practicing your quick shifts under the sheets with the old man shifter?  That would be a short shift to wouldnt it?

lol so true!!

anyway a xr6t would blow a stock 32 away, but u should leave that for the track, iv seen alot of unmarked cops driving around in done up cars, its simply not worth the risk. last week i saw an unmarked magna vrx green with big rims and exhaust it turned out being a cop car and pulled someone over.

you dont know these days they drive anything

dave....

im just waiting for that guy to jump up and yell "You can do it cut his f*kin Head Off!" haha .. i bet he doesnt come on here with his i love to street race because i play need for speed underground stories again.

Glad people are still out there being dick heads and giving the police a good excuse to pull me over.

I second that. It's people like you that give the authorities reason to bug the rest of us for stupid shit like big exaust tips and things that go whooosh.

speak for yourself man, i was hell impressed. he beat some fully sik cars and he was probably in bed at the time with one hand on the stick.

This guy IS the COOLEST person I KNOW...

Actually almost ALL his posts sound like someone whose mum just bought him his first car and not only has NFI about the car, but life in general.

Carry on my simple "associate"

and I am yet to disagree with any ones "comments" on your remarkable deeds...f#ckin tool

Edited by Bobjones

yeh i do think i am cool.

i asked for your imput .. i was wondering if this soudned correct and from a few ppl i noticed that no its not, that these guys should have left me for dead. But hey the fact is they didnt , the reasons why i do not know .... dont you think if it didnt look so funny to me that i wouldnt have mentioned it. some of you people need to grow up... some people on here ask silly questions on here only because they dont know for themselves thats why they are on here to learn more about their cars from others with experiance, its not very fricken nice to be bagging someone for something they dont know in front of others... you guys act real "cool" asking me if i think im cool you only do it to get a kick out of yourselves. well ill ask you guys do you think your tough talking in here like that because you cant see any of our faces. seriously if you have a problem with what i say or think i am stupid for some reason the send me a pm and explain it to me

Regards

You idiot the reason everyone is hassling you is not because you're asking silly questions or to look cool it's because you're going around racing on public roads, and asking if you should be 'proud.' There's a place to race and it's the dragstrip / circuit.

No one want to see in the news accidents / deaths from someone racing / driving dangerously. You can see that in most of your other threads people have been generally helpful. But when you talk about something that's potentially dangerous not only to yourself but anyone, everyone else on the roads, expect a less than pleasant response.

you see i apreciate your reply .. if everyone else spoke to me like an adult with actual reason behinde what they are saying i will understand a little more.

Now ive taken into consideration what you have said and i do understand where your comming from. i understand your concern.

Thanks for actually taking your time and talking to me insted of ridiculing me.

I had such an adrenilin rush last night....tset of traffic lights a VX HSV,celica turbo & XR6 turbo pulled up beside me :O

your comments please.. :)

You mate, are a d|ckhead

yeh i do think i am cool.

And subsequent to that, talk of street racing again and i'll ban you.

Heavy handed, maybe, but i dont give a toss when it comes to stupidity

Cheers.

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
