Dave, the only parts off the GTR on the sedan are the rear camber arms, gear knob, oil and fuel caps. . . . . that is all.

Power mods are kakimoto cat back, K&N panel filter, 10psi and 100mm thick side mount intercooler. That is all.

Thanks for the pic Eug and Pete I was quicker than you, thats all that matters ;) Or 13.93 if you need a reminder :(

Yes Jason, thank you for your timely reminder!!!!! :mad: Let's just inform the peanut gallery of the leadup to the night! In my infinite wisdom was intending to wind the boost up to 12 to match YOUR 12 psi that YOU were going to run on the night!! Instead, my adjustments went astray and I only later found out I was only running at 7psi!!!!!! So, gloat while you can, cause next time it will be 33 munch time!!!! :)

Pete lost to a 33??????? :)

What times did he run btw? :rant:

My time is not important. Let's just say I ran slower than when my car was completely stock, and I mean COMPLETELY STOCK!!!!! :(

Im a little confussed as to why your upset Jason???

Mark is doing the calander, i guess he will tell you all when its ready...

Im just helping him get the photos, i have taken some but he wants to change the order up a bit so a few more photos will need to be taken...

In the next 3 weeks in out of town for 70% of the time so i will be tied up till about the time when SCC06 is on...

If you want to help lend a hand plz contact Mud... Im sure he would love to hear from you...

That's the problem... I HAVE contacted Mud, I HAVE offered my services, i Volunteered to give up some of my spare time to do some photography for the calendar..... 2 years in a row... both years i was told "yeah, sure, would love to have you help out with photos, blah blah blah".... 2 years in a row i've just been left on the wayside, left not knowing what is happening, had it all organised 'behind my back' so to speak. And then there is always bitching from the execs that they are too overworked or too busy etc, when they have people volunteering to help out yet they just get ignored... i'm a bit sick of it to be honest.

One question, I have yet to be contacted about getting some pics done, and if most of the pics have been done does this mean I am out?

I am not goin to have a spew or anything, just so I know. . . . .

How can the calender be almost done when my car hasn't been in a photo shoot yet? Have I missed something critical, like the date of the photoshoot???

I was gonna add n15 to the page with silver_gt_r34 and myself with Mrtoy33 and falconias, but we were both in last years calendar so no go :no:

we will be in the group shot / collage on the back however :P

umm yeh, i wasn't in last years calendar.

i opted for it but excuse given was "i was not a member long enough to be able to be in it this year, better luck next yea".

Col, or Mud, should i go out and take some photos of my car tomorrow, and then pm/email them to one of you to help sort it out?

and is it ok if i take photos with a few friends of mine with skylines for the calendar/ the months im in, or is it purely one car?

    • 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
    • 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.
