Ah the saga continues. Apparently shipping on the 17...of December. Inshallah

Maybe...I was told there would be no guarantee of delivery on or by the 17th even though that's the date they gave, so take their delivery dates with a grain of salt.

:D

Do you think thats enough...lol sigh

Ha! well no one can say you haven't been keeping good humour and patience about it all that's for sure..

yes!...and that word would be NO. From memory Andrew said they intended to ship on that date, so I'm not expecting anything for another few days *fingers crossed*

The saga continues. Still, TAS in 3 weeks and that will cheer me up no end...woowhoo cars then snow!!!

Not much snow around these parts mr Keets...been unusally warm and raining...dont believe the snow reports from Niseko as they are over hyped bullcrap..There is some decent snow forecast for next week but!

Much better off piste terrain at Hakuba, just watch the ski patrol..absolute nazis!

NO IT WONT!

I have been corrected with how it happened.

Street tyres! Change from 1st in 4000rpm to 2nd which would be 3000rpm with not even 3 pound of boost very light driving to check diff change.

BANG! BANG! RATTLE RATTLE!

Carbon all over the road and a major piece being on the side of the road, under the car the bolting mounts for the standard diff have been bent it has tried to come through the floor pretty much.... Customer not happy jan! Seems as though the carbon weave has gone against the glass which means it was going to sheer itself no matter what... 5 months wait for this is a complete and utter joke!

Can you elaborate?

any way to tell if this is a flaw by looking at a non-broken one?

fark! Looking at the original set of pics it looked like the torque unwound it but these shots make it look like it just snapped. I wonder what the QA/AC for these things is?

    • 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
