GTR attitude is alive and well in QLD doesn't it!!! lol

Just coz you have a GTR does not automatically make you a legend.

liz what happened to your car?

he's a good shane! I'm sure he can give it out as much as he takes it!

well i spent 3 months and alot of money building a track spec s13 silvia and 10days after we had the engine (s14 engine) and brake (s15 brakes) set up up and running i got rear ended and smashed into the car infront writting the whole thing off :P

hey shane... do you think i should go and take my fuel pump out of the wreck as the fuel tank leaked and there is no petrol in there... should i take it out to preserve it or will it be fine?

nvm...

So... how high can u rev a RB26 safely shane?

7k man on a std one, but the odd rev limiter dance doesnt hurt, if u've got ye ole 2wd switch :laugh:

im assuming ur asking as you like to go for some regular 'spirited drives', i dont know how u drive, but if it were me, i wouldnt go holding the revs at say ~6k+ constant, caus in the end it's gonna shake itself apart

but its true what i said, no gtr owner has 'pwned' me at any stage, yet the gtst owners always find something...

she'll be right :laugh:

P.S if i had knowledge of this issue, of course i wouldnt have left it out of fuel, plus i offered to refund the mula, fool...but serously, have u heard of that happening before? if not, how do others store their used pumps?

:P oh noes :) and you had insurance?

nope.. and I'm so pissed off that I didn't.. but the guy who hit me had insurance.

well i did have insurance.. but only third party property and fire and theft! As it was a track car and I barely drove it on the road .. just this one day, my other car needed to get some work done so I drove the silvia! :laugh:

come down to sydney and i'll set up a few drivers for a pwning!

Dave (who's up in QLD with bunta and anna at the moment) is an insane driver! one of the best!

I had a 2wd switch but I ditched it when I had my tourque split controller installed. Kinda wishing I didnt now however, but apparently taking the fuse out under the dash is much dodgyness and your far better off removing the fuse from under the hood.

hahaha

they just wrap them up, but It hink it's better to keep them submersed to be sure!

I might go and get it.. it'll hopefully get the insurance agents to hurry up if I head in there and start taking parts of the car lol

Thanks for backing me up on that one Shane... :)

Tola ya so Ian :laugh: <<---always wanted to use that :P

yes he was at big dave's place for new years, which i was also there...

although u gotta admit, his machine is quite well sorted! f50's on the front, ap's on the back, amongst other goodies i spied...

but in the end, i'm only 19 with very little spirited driving experience, now b4 ny1 goes flaming me, i'm already booked for the next 2 track days

hows it dodgy? all it does is disable the abs, but all you want rwd for is to do a static burnout at the drags

you've got my attention now liz, how good?

dave? very good! lol

he's a legend! I love him!

yeah but it's easier to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fasst car fast! so as well as his car being sorted, his driving is too! :laugh:

and shane.... you are young and no matter what your driving experiance is now, you'll pick up tips and the like every time you go out!!! Even the smallest things!

    • 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
