What about the Mongrels... what did Josh say they were worth?

they are a really good tyre for what they are... and now in 33 x 12.5... they sound good... some new suspension and body blocks and emma's lux would be looking tuff...

when do you get your big rig Brocky Cutter?

Hey Actually here is another topic for this CQ Performance Thread... I was talking to Darren of 180GO fame and I asked him a few questions about brake upgrades for Clubsprints... He told me that I needed to Take off the Metal backing plates for the disc brakes... now I know this seems obvious but is this a good move for a street car... does it protect the rotor more than it matters... what about does it act like a heat sink ( draw heat from the disc) or does it trap in heat?? I think it traps heat, and I personally think if you brake a rotor you are probably doing the wrong thing in your import (eg. 4x4 competition or something)

what do you guys think?

Also he actually recommended Bendix Ultimate Pads... he said if I had the money go with Endless NA-R but otherwise Ultimates are the Go... I thought there would have been heaps of pads better than the old ultimate... but he seemed to think they were really good for the price... so maybe that is something to think about next time you are crying just thinking about the price of big name Jap brake pads.... stick with the old Bendix Ultimate!!

I'm still chasing interested parties for the trip to Brissy at the end of this month... it will be simply awsome with a few cars punting around the track... and don't think your car is to slow... I can show you some video of a stock early pintara thrashing around the track in Panda Colours... it is really open to ANYONE... JR that means your mirage to...

Actually it would be awsome to have enough cars there to have our own bracket (7 cars) on the track... all CQ motorsports fans...

    • 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
