you know u were 1 of em mr nightcrawler admit your age to the skyline world

Don't know whether he would have been driving a 32?? Maybe the S15? Think that's a little too far back to remember (even though I remember the Fast and Furious car, from memory a 32 GTS-T?) I reckon these were taken around 7ish years ago. :P

haha, I was on the cruise above. Must have only been about 4 or 5 years ago though, as Munro's blue Falcon ute is there. I also spot Cheeky's old white R32, Suresh's old VX Commie, and what would later become MattR's White R32 too. Not sure why my S15 isn't in that pic - might have left early or something. From memory that is the back of a caravan park down Victor Harbor way.

Spotted the white R35 GTR in city on king william street at the end of hindley street, was heading north. Only got a glimpse of the rear lights but damn those lights are sexy.

Also last night i spotted a midnight blue R32 4dr heading south then heading back north down south road. Would have been around 10.30.. Looked clean from what i saw.

Yes scandy that is the culprit i spotted, twas a chik driving it to. couldnt see clear enough to give her a rating out of 5 but the car was rather clean.

didnt notice the gts on the bumper but it may have been there. was after long day of work + uni

edit

dont mind me, you said north not south haha

Spotted a Silver Stag on States and Pimpala road round-about on In Woodcroft/Reynella yesterday around 12:30pmish

Gave you a nod, I always see you around.

Yere that would have been me. Seen you give me the nod was going to wave but was to late as i was halfway through the roundabout.

Nice car you have got aswell.

Spotted the lowest import I've ever seen... a black S15 (ENTICE or something similar) near the Holden Plant this morning, don't know how it's even drivable that low!!! Nice car though.

Simon's (Pitlane Performance) soon to be old R33 at Pitlane Performance around half hour ago :P

Spotted three R32s one was a 4 dr but just on my way through the city from Magil yesterday haha they all had vertex front bars. I was like WTF am i the only one driving with a gtr front bar hahaha.

Spotted a Black R34 GTT parked on Murray Street Gawler this afternoon, and also the same silver R34 again that I rekon is Penny's (ontheranch) but I'm not sure.

I recon I have seen that black 34GTT before, was it parked by the Yiros shop?

If it was as high as a monster truck with dark windows then its me :P

Ive seen a white 33 with an SAU sticker on the front parked at Pizza Hut a few times... Do you know who that is?

    • 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.
