Spotted Sam Irving up the coast at caloundra yesterday morning...

Almost missed him and was in the S15 so I didnt flash or toot as he would not have known who it was, plus he went past before I even knew it was him...

My partner has a "S15 S-GT"

As my car is in pieces atm and hers in on a salary package (you need to do 15,000km's per year min)

So we drive her car 90% of the time...

The garage is for the S15 and the R33... They look hot sitting side by side...

The company hacks get the road out the front... :P

Ive seen you getting around. Was out driving with my boss during work time (we were in a "meeting") and you were turning onto park street in milton, I think you waved? Anyway not sure if it was you, but it was a chick in a pink skyline with a black bonnet, clean paintjob. Nice ride.

I was in a grey 32 GTR /w black bonnet btw.

hmm... im not sure if it was me, my skyline is a pearl pink, if it was me, u would have seen it in fully matt paint, it must have been during the time when i was working on it. Now the paint of my car is half done i still gotto gloss the black parts ,also my boot and wheels are black as well. Anyway so far i havent seen another pink skyline on the road so the chances of it being me are good... well i hope there aren't any other pink skylines around :laugh: hehe

I was at car wash, I was already stopped ;) you drove past.

You live local I guess? Got a mate on Browns Plains road with a black R33, not to be confused with the black R33 in Marsden that does skids a fair bit (something PSI plates). Use to stir him up when I worked for dominos driving the echo, go skyline go! lol

I saw a couple cars going the opposite way along the bruce highway... drove to noosa and back, bit hard to wave and didn't pay enough attention to remember, but hello anyway haha.

Spotted Bunta's other car (wine red R33)which has been borrowed by Shanef.

It was parked on the side of the road at the city end of the Centenary Highway near the Toowong Roundabout. It appeared to be empty and sad.

Something obviously went wrong with it.....

Hehe, I waved frantically. Hardly any skylines on the road on new years day!

so that was you

me and mushroom were convoying back from a nye party, and when we parted ways he said he thought he saw you

was travelling down the length of ipswich rd around midday or so

Indeedy, did a compression test on her in the arvo and wasnt good, turns out it blew the headgasket. Put her on the back of a truck, and got her home.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • 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
