Jus thought I'd let anyone know that the Motokhana in the K-Mart car park in Gladstone is on this Sunday starting from about 9 or 10 am. If anyone wants to come down, let me know. Otherwise enjoy your cruise dudes. It's sounds like it's going to be really good.

It would be awsome to change the cruise from Yeppoon to Gladstone... would anyone be interested in going to Gladdy instead for this Motokhana... it would be interesting... although it is tuff finding enough fuel to get there and back...

tell me what you all think??

or does it stay as a beach run??

Rick do you reckon you could organise the beach boys for a cruise to Gladrock??

Hmm... I really have to do something about my info on www.garagespank.tk

it's just that the plans for it are nothing like what I was going to do to it a couple of months ago... Although atleast it does have a T28 on it... to bad it isn't a S15 turbo... but it still a big upgrade from the CA turbo that was on it...

Actually is anyone interested in rising rate fuel pressure regulators... I want to order in a batch of these AMOS ones... cheap... different... did I mention cheap...

It's just they come from America so if anyone is interested in this great product... pm me or something just cause I want to order in one for myself and one for Phill's GQ patrol... so while I'm at it... should order in bulk... I'll try to get a price put up on that spank website soon... just so if anyone wants one of these cheap regulators they can call me... either that or they can order them in themselves of course...

the trouble with silvias is their independent front end, they just dont have the articulation or cross up. dont get me wrong, there great on road, but its was the wombat holes in the latest "tuff import challenge" where they come unstuck. but i dont know maybe someone out there has bombed one up with a 24in lift and possibly 38in tyres(not rims). but like i said, i just dont know.

Yeah Brocky Cutter I have done extensive modifications to mine and I still lift a wheel going over a gutter... they just don't seem to have the flex of a full bombed "floating"front end skyline...

although silvias always beat them in the uphill climb... It's a tuff decision but air lockers fix the flex problem...

    • 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
