Yeah we are but not exactly alot though just steady fall, but then again some is better than none. Markimak You know anyone with a nice typex 96 mod 180 on they want to sell?

hey chris.. u live at the sunshine coast buddy..?

hows ur car.. like to hear how shes going :D

uh type X.. see some on Jspec for 14ish.. mine is a 97 and i personally wouldnt sell it for less than 18k.

try carsales buddy.. is a good car.. bout to dial up 240kw with a 3071R in the next few weeks :)

Do you guys know if the front indicator 'power connectors' are the same for Skylines and say 180sx or Silvias ? cause i need small indicators to fit on my new front bar anywhere between 12.5cm x 5.5 and 17.5cm x 5.5cm...?

Cheers guys

Hey i sold the skyline a while ago now and now looking for something else, i still want another skyline but later down the track.I saw you had a 180 just thought i'd ask.Im always looking at all the usual sites jspec, prestige and car sales just got to find one that i like and get in first ,3 haves sold before i got to look at them, but anyway.

3071r good choice :wacko: thats what i want when i get it.

bugger.. u sold the skyline.. what do u have to spend.. if i didnt have a a car and ooddles amount of moolah ill hit up boostimports or jspec.. dont use pheonix.. lol :)

stuff buying a car from brisbane get urself a nice type X.. or perhaps CHASER.... shit yeah

yeah i thought of a few different cars ,aristo and chaser aswell but want a coupe this time skyline was sedan, plus i miss my old 180 i had years ago.

I would rather find a local car as i get to see it first hand the condtition as im fussy as i want a top notch car, nothing else.Will think about it for a while as im goin overseas next week.

fair enough... yeah im glad i downgraded.. well upgrade for me.. from the GTR.. newer... looks cleaner.. cheaper parts.. make power cheap too. the less weight really is noticable.. and drifting is something im hooked on now.. :laugh: :PBJ:

but i miss the traction esspecially in the rain.. u got to be on ur toes the whole time.. :) even on the damn M1.. and the brakes too..

perhaps u should get a GTR chris.. pick up a 93 one cheap.. get urself a vspec 2 for less than 23k now ... good option imo

Nah not yet maybe in a few years.Yeah drifting does that to you i miss the 26okw that the skyline produced but hopefully soon will be hangin the tail out again!! Anyway..So what else has been goin on bitches?

260kw only from a RB25 lol.. SRs can get that too. 16-17psi on the 3071R hello :) some poncams and more.. :P

my mates rb25 had 250kw on 16psi i think.. weapon of a beast.. haha

get a GTR.. u knw u wanna.. should have picked up mine. the new owner is apparently very happy and his mates find it quite strong..

and it had 80mm AFM ;) how so..? :D

How bout you buy me a gtr then we both can be happy!! but nothing under a 34 will do.. :thumbsup:

@260kw out of a sr it acheiveable but you have to do cams etc as you said , but with my ol rb25 stock standard internals baby ;) just ad a bit of boost and a real good tune with the right equipment on board.

So you got 34 gtt?

i got a mate/mechanic who's got a 180 he's had it for years now and last time i checked he has over 300kw at the wheels ,no word of a lie.He mainly uses it for track days at the bank.

you going to go as far as that with either car you own?lets see that gtt push some decent number out hey.

haha.. yeah got a R34 wreck.. my brother totalled it 2months back.. :thumbsup: oh well..

u cand get 260kw out of standard internal SR lol.. but cams will help :) apparently the NA SR cams are good too.

im planning on making the SR my daily and drift pig.. not gonna strip it.. just the boot but need the seats and stuff.. some carbon body bits.. but i think ill be content with 250kw or less.. dnt want to go the hassle of the RB25 box.. even though PPG or PAR sets look appealing.. and my mate builds boxes with navara bits.. ;)

get a R34 GTT if u like.. or a stagea.. 260RS ;):P

yeah you can use the na cams but they are only fractinally better then originals, go the poncams and you wont look back :thumbsup:.

Ouch thought that might of been the case with the gtt but wasnt sure if your bro had on too.Hope this thread get more active for the coast, people might start to talk. :)

Yea sunday sounds good for me. ill have my front guard done by then too, clear coats comin off so im gettin a re-spray. Will be good to catch up, haven been out in a while.

I would, but im goin Skirmish on sunday! Whoo oo! :)

    • 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.
