big girls blouse, that's me!

welts the size of tennis balls on my back arent my idea of fun... though you'll probably be ok if you dont get some rambo wannabe shoot you with a semi-automatic at close range like what happened to me!

also had smaller bruises all over me, plus one got me across the knuckles and broke all the skin :laugh:

Hey guys,

Sorry for a really late post, have not had the internet lately! Just a quick update on a few things...

1. Location- Michelago, this one is run by the Ministry of Paintball ;)

2. Payment once we all pretty much come to an agreement on a date and time will be easiest I think being handed over at the Museum.

3. So far we have about 11 keen beans so that leaves 2 places left (please make sure you are genuine in your interests)

List so far, please cut and paste if adding your name

The sooner we organise this the sooner we can get out there and shoot our balls! :laugh: He he he... Daniel and I will be out at the Museum on Friday night if you have any questions/wish to put down your deposit now and we will bring the brochures. :(

P.S. I FINALLY HAVE MY NEW NUMBER PLATES ON MY CAR SL33KY ALL THE WAY! :laugh:

haha my cousins had the best bruises. One of hit the other with the butt of the gun by accident so the other stuck the barrel about 1m from them and blasted about 4 shots into him. Those were some impresive bruises.

What date are we looking at? January?

The sooner we organise this the sooner we can get out there and shoot our balls! :O He he he... Daniel and I will be out at the Museum on Friday night if you have any questions/wish to put down your deposit now and we will bring the brochures. :O

P.S. I FINALLY HAVE MY NEW NUMBER PLATES ON MY CAR SL33KY ALL THE WAY! :wub:

You missed me, have added my name.

Just quickly;I'm happy to pay up(full amount is how much?Or deposit $$$'s is ?)and hold out for whenever,but Jan' should be a HOT month,thus making a game of running around flat out with minimally exposed skin a little warm. I'll play in such conditions,but it may be less fun for some. Either way,I'm up for it!

Another suggestion;seeing as I like all you Skyliners,could we ask another club to challenge us? I'd much rather drop bombs on say some V8 club than shoot my friends...

I am fine to shoot all you SAU chumps :P but if we do get another club make sure that they are people we at least get along with... it will suck if it's a bunch of 17 year olds with riced up lancers doing burnouts and talking about all the chicks they pulled last night lol (no offence purplepeopleeater:))

You will be lucky if you dont shoot your self Leigh lol j/k

on another note is Beau coming mmmmm lol sorry cant help it.

Well I can now re-count my first hand experience with paintball.

I went today for the first time (at Fairburn).

Awesome, awesome fun! Pain(t)ful as all hell for about 5 seconds then it goes away. The large red welt that turns into a bruise does not however. I have them all over my legs, arms and chest but it's not that bad. I would highly recommend that any one go but just be warned that when you get shot....It WILL hurt.

Also, for guys that are going, if you want to wear a box they can be purchased for $5 but you have to have normal underwear on, not boxer shorts. I found that out the hard way when I realised I had no protection "Down there". Fortunately it's a small target and I didn't get hit.

haha just like at baseball when i rock up in boxers i am like FARKKKKKKKKK that was smart :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.
