hey guys,

just wondering if any of you happened to be on gouger street saturday night. between 1-2am

i just happened to be driving through at the time to pick up a friend, and i heard all these bang sounds and then alot of the cars in front of me were doing uturns, i thought nothing of it, i just thought kids were fkin round with firecrackers or something, and then i turned down the side street just before Esco Bar to find a park and a sus looking silver 4wd was coming towards me and then suddenly reversed real fast and went the other way and gunned it out of there, everything was real smoky and all i kept hearing were bangs and i noticed there were smoking shell casings everywhere on the road.

just a story to tell you guys, i didnt get the number plate of the 4wd or anything, so not really any help to the police - but yeah, were any of you guys there and knew exactly what happened ?

Yeah, like the two diners who were there "hours before". They were probably miles away from it at the time :) Diners are usually ushered out about midnight at most venues. But trust the kiwis wanting to get into the spotlight on aussie soil :)

I'd have more warrant saying I was in London just days before the bombings, in those particular areas that were bombed ... which I was!

surely that would have made you think that it was a shooting?

1 shot or 500 shots.......its still pretty f**king dangerous.....specially in or around china town where it is busy most of the time anyway....public safety as risk....where are the cops when that happened....ohh thats right patrolling the streets looking out for hoons.....

yesterday morning i heard them say on the radio that there was a shoot out between 2 cars and there were about 15 shots fired between the 2 cars and they arrested 3 people over the incident.... But who knows what really happend what the media release is never the same as what happened.

I was out on the bike with a couple others till pretty late in Hindley last night, eating outside 'Yannis' but didn't hear anything from there.

Apparently Hells Angels were involved.

Hope no authorities are looking for our bikes.

    • 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
