Oh yea Dave, when are you finishing up your apprenticeship?

http://www.sedgman.com.au/careers/current_vacancies.php

I think theres a few electrician vacancies come up if they can get internal people. I suspect minimum pay for these role to be above 120k pa but of course its site based.

f**k that, im going to be a contractor.

Oh and Gtr Injectors can make 300awkw.....I reckon if Brandon could get somthing to hold boost his current set up would go awfully close to 300awkw, i would be nervous about injectors running in the high 90s but ive done it before! lol

Agreed.... In saying that though I'm not a tuner, be interesting to see what efi performance or another tuner has to say regarding the matter. 1000cc's? LOL! Choose the right injector size for the job...

Its on topic, so I guess I'd better :D

...I need to get into shares

There's a shitload of books to get you started and to save you money from going to a financial advisor. Charting secrets by louise bedfords a good start.

Ok. John's isnt stock after all... hahaha.

Lol, define stock? I have a front mount, a pod filter and some exhaust system that came with the car, other than that the car's stock. And yeh did a 14.37 on crappy chinese tyres and a 30+degree day. Can't complain I spose.

my annual mothersite whoretown post and im using it to pimp my wares.

buy my turbo -> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ga...rt-t300962.html

Woah...what turbo are you changing to? I remember mr fineline saying he wanted to strap a t04z onto his patrol :P

defining stock is easy.....it doesnt have things that it didnt come with from the factory

Which probably no one here is. And even if there's 1, they're gay.

John: Thats why I said how fast the boat sail depends on the captain as well. I'm sure if you're driving my car you'll get into the 12s. Hope you're doing well. Harrys gonna be big this Thursday if anyone is keen. I'll say it again, the chicken parm is a must try. JustDave and Mitch will be there too.

LOL @ the gay remark. Dunno if I'd drive your car any good. I prefer to know the car, take it out for dinner and a walk along the beach and get to know it before I get into it... Hopefully I'll be over this aids virus I have atm and be able to move around. So I'll probably be in for Harry's. My man Shiz will probably be keen too. Maybe us south siders can drive up together or something?

Tristan: f**k the exam. Summer's easy! Ask John

hahaha - wait i just realised you are talking about thursday not wednesday - in that case im going to be down the coast.. naked.. with beer..

    • 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.
