Hello all..........

After the ,what song you would loose your license to?

I have a new one for you........as Topic suggests.

Name the road ,you are most likely going to loose your license on?

I will start with the ramp on the Western-ring Road headed out of town from Greenbourough.

This is the new Bridge that goes out to Cooper Street.

The bridge which goes over the Road is an 80KM Zone :P .I have not seen any-one doing that.

So post ,

STREET?

AREA?

WHICH DIRECTION YOU ARE TRAVELLING IN?

SPEED INDICATED ON ROAD?

Please do not post times and cars your driving ...just in case :O:):)

volvo 740 170km

TM magna 180km

Bluebird pegged off the speedo at 200km

eastern freeway. both ways. i've never seen anyone do under 105km.

ill be on it 2morro in my ferrari 355 spider (silver) at 11:30am....catch me if you can

Hope you are not setting up some-one ? :P:O

start of the western ring road from Greensborough...I come from the diamon creek way.

I love to get in the outside lane and cain it past everyone...

I think it its 80kmph

also my other dialy fav.

The hoddle street ramp to the eastern fwy...

The camber is all f*ked up but my FTO handles it very sweet. I cain it around there and hit 8k. before th bridge

In the r33 its more fun. I stay on the outside lane and merge right...I try to see what is the fastest speed I can do at the bridge if there are not cars...the bridge comes up fast...you I don't end up going that fast...l

isnt there cameras on the eastern now?

I remember back in the good 'ol days (like 2002).. when 130 was a common speed..

When the hume fwy wasn't complete.. gunning it from cooper st onto the freeway was fun.. but now you have to watch out for trucks.. not alot of time to merge/judge their speed :laugh:

I think any freeway entrance is fun.. esp onto the ring rd.. about the only place you can put your foot down without getting a speeding fine...

start of the western ring road from Greensborough...

:laugh: that is, no shit, the best fun you can have in Greensborough

If you we inclined to break the speed limit around my area it would be on Doncaster rd heading up towards Shoppo.

Since they extended the freeway, the traffic that goes up that hill is minimal at the best of times and you can weave your way up the hill in all three lanes at practically any speed you like... but that would be bad and you shouldnt speed mmmkay

yeah onramp to ring road at greensy end is 90kmh ... thn at plenty road becomes 100.. but cops sit in the break where the onramp and off ramp at the greensborough end splits, so you cant see them until its too late

This is the new Bridge that goes out to Cooper Street.

The bridge which goes over the Road is an 80KM Zone :P .I have not seen any-one doing that.

I agree with that, that road from the western to the footbridge is fantastic, although after that is gets a bit bumpy and the joins in the onramp combined with coilovers = all bad....also the western between hume hwy exit and the above bridge greensborough bound....long flat and wide

Anyplace that has a tunnel - i get excited by the sound of a loud exhaust, just cant help myself.

Try the Punt Rd ramp on to the Monash outbound beneath the silo's! Surrounded by close walls, the acoustics are sweet!!!!

Anyplace that has a tunnel - i get excited by the sound of a loud exhaust, just cant help myself.

Thats funny....when I :D see a tunnel I normally avoid it cause I am married...... :P

But yeah nothing beats a good squirt in an enclosed area....city would be great early in the morning.

I would love to open it up on Collins street. :(

    • 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.
