yeah i see what u mean josh. but ther is a compromise with garrett.

anyway im thoroughly enjoying hearing my bro and his GF fight in the next room.. that shit reminds me why i dnt get a gf

Incl the sponsorship money that car owed $100k, Incl car cost. Compromise's were done else where which lead to f**k ups, which lead to that stupid blowout build cost. Never again.

holy doley

yeah i got ya joshwa. if u got the cash i would use only tried and tested proven parts. and tuning.. but if u dnt just using what should work should work :P

I don't like no name turbos. I like things that come from a company with lots of RnD. I wanted ball bearing which at that time Trust couldnt offer me

dady paying bills = who cares how much it costs lolz

People know alot more know now though, parts are cheaper these days and your not paying to be the test pig anymore.

So i guess in a way it was a bench mark for back then

fooken oath just look at my car lol

sponsorship...tell me more?

f**k off, i need sponsorship before you :P

sponsorship...tell me more?

Your about the 11thy billion person to ask...

"Im going to build a car that does X, it will be at X events, I will in return offer you X publicity from being at the track X amount of times and enter X events, plus as it will run or do X it will have a write up in X mag with X readers" - "You want your name on it"

i need a little more than just tyre sponsorship marki

I’m just generalizing; if you want real sponsorship treat your car like a business, as accentually it is for the people giving you products or money

yeh i've been lazy. if u help me write something up i'll give u some coin for your troubles...

    • 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
