good day boys. i was impressed to be able to hustle the stock GTST around quite respectably. It was bone stock bar a cat back exhaust and a pod, still running stock boost and of course handicapped with falken ziex FK326 i scrapped my way around the track with no brakes and no power! haha good fun.

my thanks go to:

Nathan, for not being able to turn up. but still sorry you couldnt make it.

John for the tools

Adam for organising, and helping with my suspension change

Neil for never missing an opportunity to give me some shit (you old fart), and for brining us all numbers, and for kindly letting me borrow your tools.

Dan for being chief mechanic, he is a top spanner spinner and the price is right.

Pete for doing f**k all.

and to all the SAU guys for volunteering:

sorry if there were more, i just didnt see you/know you but thanks too :D

i was actually proud that we had so many flag marshalls coming from out club. and that none of them meatballed me either for passing, being sideways or scarping, iinstead just choosing to bitch about it on the radio! lol.

top day, but i was a bit dissapointed that it didnt rain in the arvo. i was looking forward to that.

I guess everyone was right about me going faster in the arvo.

1:24.379 WOOT!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to jump on here to send a special thanks to all the guys that flaggied and helped make today the great day it was. they dont happen without you.

cheers

Andrew

And thank you. I was planning on making a post on forum thread but I can't get in anymore.

oh yeah, your car sounded just bloody awesome primordial too bad about the fuel filler, would've love to hear that car going around a couple more laps. Next time I hope my car will be ready for the track

thanks mate.. a few people said that it was sounding good actually. sweet!

hope to see you out there on the next one.. trust me, as some have been saying, its highly addictive! maybe try cocaine instead, you would have a better chance getting off that :D

Doodz! No photos? You promised. Who else has some?

Well anyway I had a great time and I don't think I was alone there.

Good to see so many newbies out there. Are you hooked yet?

Nah :( The vid camera I was able to get didnt work when I got it yesterday nite :(.

Yea hooked :D Im gonna bring car next time and put on track :D Boost controller going in tomorow!

Oh and those of you who where on the CB great entertainment, when nothing exciting was happening on the track. Great CB wh0ring :D:D

time to get myself a cb radio and start WHORING!!!!

best quote of the day would have to be

"car number XX temporarily lost traction for 7 consecutive corners"

Edited by lingeringsoul
It's 12:42am and I've just gotten home. Working on getting the pics up.

What happened Toulio - did you have to walk home plaster and all?

Here's one of Sindows paying close attention to the instructions of the experienced drivers at the race day...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • 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
