I wouldn't endanger her with mountain shanigans.... If I crash and die fair enough if I crash and killed her well yer.

Mountain runs + girl = sedate cruise

How boringly responsible of you. Reason your single?

Have already chopped the maxima :whistling:

.... Is the ark the Natro 34?

Yes, yes it is.

I reckon I could take the maxima, and I know I can munch the ark :P

Of course you could munch the ark, a lawn mower could munch the ark. I see back handed compliment was not registered.

Mountain runs + girls + speed limit through corners = wet.

This kid has the right idea ;)

There is a point in going for a mountain run with a guy and it's not to look at the damn trees.

Need to stop chasing princesses then. Girls that are into boyish stuff (read Tom boys/car girls ect) are not going to look like Taylor Swift or be the prettiest things on the market.

Need to stop chasing princesses then. Just warning you in advance I reckon 7/10 times girls that are into boyish stuff (read Tom boys/car girls ect) are not going to look like Taylor Swift or be the prettiest things on the market.

Id almost say 8/10, I duno I like a bit of "WTF are u doing with that stupid car now" mentality.... Glutton for punishment.

Once dated a girl who was super into cars and her old man had a blown mustang and for some reason I got bored as broke up with her.... Lack of commitment nick is dumb

but we are man

see pretty thing

want pretty thing

Do things pretty thing wants

Buy things pretty thing wants

Stop seeing people pretty thing dosent like

End up at church three times a week

Stop playing with car

get sick of pretty thing controlling nature

Find next pretty thing

More or less yes

The thought of this makes my balls wet. I have found chicks don't really like my car. Maybe it's the mundane way I drive it with them in there. Or maybe its just me they don't like haha

Girls love my car, I just find they hate it when I drive it fast.... Sometimes I miss my old slow Natro 25 lol

And then I remember how old and slow it was :P

Do they all have a fetish for a sail boat that's orange and black?

It's not a sail boat, its a mercrusier lol

They must do, the younger ones even liked the red neons I had in the grill for a while :blush:

sorry Chantelle, misread your post, thought you said you prefer the maxima or ark lol.

repeat process

Definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result. No wonder there is so many car girls who can't get a boyfriend, and the ones they do get are douche bags. Main difference between a car girl and a princess, car girl would have an ice sculpture of an engine and not a swan at their wedding. Most women think and want the same things just with their own tweaks.

I have no sympathy for you then. As a female I've heard that story too many times. I swear guys get bored or threatened when they feel their missus has too much in common with them.

Probably the mundane way you drive it. Hot cars attract hot chicks. Back in my younger days I started chatting with a guy outside a nightclub simply because (despite my dislike for Subaru's) he's WRX was actually quite well styled. Cue mountain run.

Chicks dig cruise liners :P

    • 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.
