Well i have to say that now we have a really strong team, consider last night some of our best weren't playing and that was only a FRIENDLY match.

At least we're going to Germany and looking into our back ground soccer isn't so popullar here unlike most others continents, their team has more moeny to spend, big sponsors, die hard fans that's why most of our best players are playing oversea which is good for us anyway.

Really looking forward to AUSTRALIA VS JAPAN.

australia will be eliminated very early on in the world cup ... :D dislike it if u may but we as a soccor team SUCK ...

well compared to world standards

Yeah we suck so bad we've beat European and World champions :D

Australians have played in international teams since the 1850s, that's right 156 years of Australian international football players.

I would hazard a guess that every country in the world plays and we're one of the few in the World Cup.

We'll win the World Cup, maybe not this time around but it's coming. Johnny Warren said so.

all credit to australia they shut greece down in the first 5 min and that was it,,,the game was over..As far as the world cup gos i think australia has a very good chance as long as they beat japan in the opening game if that doesnt happen than they got no chance..

P.S i was at the game and i had 3 racist idiots sitting behind us saying burn the greek flag......idiots like that cant handle their alcohol coz once we stood up they become very appologetic......fooools ruined my night.

I watched the game at Brighton (Sydney), it was obviously full of Greeks, but when the aussie's scored, people still cheered which was good.

The game finished, Greece lost, flares still went off and everyone was celebrating. Night went off pretty much incident free suprisingly (expect for some lebanese guys that came down with a lebanese flag just trying to cause trouble).

Yea true remember when Australia also beat England in a friendly a few years back. You can't really jusge a team by how many friendlies they win. When it comes down to the crunch, thats when the men will sort themselves from the boys, - like greece did at Euro 2004

Yeah, those idiots dont deserve the tickets while a lot of other ppl miss out on them. I was right on top where most of the Flares went off made me inhaled all those smoke in :) .

well done to the aussies, they deserved to win, and they should've won by alot more.. greece barely had any chances and were never in the game, regardless being a friendly or not, i think they take the game seriously.. everyone thinks the australians arent any good, well they beat uruguay and i think there a failry good team, considering they usually make the world cup alot of the time. I think australia just might be alot better then what people think..

considering greece didnt even make the world cup lol...

was a great game by Australia, the Greeks hardly had a chance to score in the first half, then Aus switched to defense in the 2nd half, Greece took more posession of the ball but the defense did well to contain them.

good goal too, very good play kicking in from the corner over the box, the Greeks should of seen it coming because the Aussies tried the exact same thing just a few mins earlier. The game started to die down after that but still good overall.

only getting there and back was the real hassle of the night with some tossers on the train on the way home.

FYI I was not on the highest row possible in the 'G, but only the 2nd highest row lol :( wonderful view though...

although the soccer game was reasonable to watch, it's the after effects of the game that were the problem. i was working at flinders st and the actions of the crowd were absolutely pathetic.

it's the only word for it.

PATHETIC.

examples:

- a large group ( ten or more ) of greek supporters were beating a girl because she supported australia.

- greek supporters doing burnouts in the street before running up the back of a cop car.

- australian supporters throwing bottles at other fans.

this is only a fraction of what happened on the night, it was bad enough that SIX police response vans could not control the crowd at federation square.

not only did the greek fans reinforce the stereotype of being drunken wog hoons, but the australian fans were just as bad at promoting the yobbo image.

if this is what we resort to after a "friendly" soccer match, i'd hate to be around for the world cup matches.

if you were involved in the riots you are absolutely pathetic. it wasn't cool, it wasn't "fully sik uleh", it was just plain PATHETIC.

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
