Spotted a maroon R33 in my work carpark at QEII hospital. Plates were 01 TAD i believe. It had a bodykit - Veilslide i think or something similar, black bonnet, and they had folded in their mirrors :nyaanyaa:

yeah thats me, half the time im going to work at northlakes (f**kn hate that shopping centre lol) dont see many silver 34's around here

check amarts parking lot, you will see my car every weekend :nyaanyaa:

Spotted on Wembly Rd Kingston about 10 mins ago, Black R32 with 2x SAU stickers on the windscreen & some nissan neon thingy in the front bar, no. plates were 820 JDS. I gave a wave, but got nothing back :P

theres actually a 2door 33 that sits in a resaurant car park across the road from jupiters thats the same colour as mine

wen i saw it i was shocked. its a stock grey/blue colour off a nissan bluebird too

and yea i got it from MJR on ferry road, y u ask??

yep thats mine, 2 door ice green.

i actually called into mjr and had a look at that car, the salesman was telling me what a rare colour it was and i replied with "i know, see that 2 door out there, i thought it was the only one in qld in that colour" lol

had mine about 4 years or so, cant remember, its been a long time. theres not many out there in that colour so consider your line unique amongst others :P

Spotted the same one in Mt Gravatt

Hot ride

Must be stolen if it was some black guy that was driving it, I think he's the one that was spotted on my driveway scoping my car...a bottle of metho saw him off in his flogged white 34 that day. :)

Spotted the following today,

8am'ish R33 GTR Gateway Bridge tolls (White, with TE37 Volks didnt get rego)

8:30am'ish R32 GTST M1 towards gold coast (Red/Maroon with plates *** KAB)

9amish R34 GTR carpark at Hope Island Resort (Bayside Blue, looked clean as a whissle)

4pm'ish R31 GTSX dressed as a GTSR (I can tell the difference ;) ) Parked on Queens Rd as Arana Hills

4:30pm'ish R33 GTST Strathpine Sizzler carpark (Looked like Noels car, but had nsw plate DO0170 (Do it, i think its meant to read)

5pm'ish R32 GTR Lilly Rd out the back of clear mountain, think it might have been IanB. Car was going too fast for me to recognise the driver...

ive never herd it called ice green until now, i thot it was blue/grey, o well ice green sounds heaps better. i have seen 1 or 2 4doors the same colour but urs is the only 2door ive seen with that paint, it looks mad on the 2door. on the 4door it certainly beats the others which are all painted 2 tone silver/black or blue/black. at least its all one colour. my dad bought it bout 2years ago from mjr so it musta been sitting there for a brave while, what price was on it wen u looked at it?!!

ur car is always parked down there, du work there?

spotted tonnes and tonnes on skyline at POWERCRUISE. im not going to bother mentioning them all.

i was in the white r33 gtst with no front bumper that shat off its crank angle sensor whislt in the middle of a drift :);)

then spotted Kweii r34 gtr heading towards willowbank.

then saw anna and andys r32 at noels house :D ((thanks again noel )

Spotted "ENM13" White 34 GT-T at Browns plains BP... Man I love those wheels... :)

    • 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.
