I let my gf take my car all the time...not just in emergency's...she just likes driving my car better than hers...so if i dont need it...why not?

how will they ever learn to drive confidently in high powered cars if you don't let them practice?

and not just females...even I had to start somewhere!

HI JACKING THREAD TIME

WOULD U LET A FIRST DATE DRIVE UR CAR IF IT IMPROVED UR ODDS OF GETTING SEX THAT NITE ??????

This post is too similar to the question that's often asked, "If you had to let go of your car or your wife, which one would you choose?"

Naughty Naughty !!

Let her drive it? After it last got back from Racepace with 290 odd rwkw her and her friend stole it while i was out on a bender - apparently tormented a couple of guys in a rexxie feathering the throttle... makes me quite proud!

Father is a well known russian race driver though so its in her blood.

My mate let his gf drive his 240rwkw R33 recently and she scraped the wheels on the gutter. He just had them painted white. lol.

I let my mates gf drive my old R33 (non-turbo) just after she got her P's because she didnt have a car yet and her bf had a wrx (not allowed to drive a turbo).

Depends how much you trust the person I guess.

I'll even let a friend slide it if I trust them enough (and i'm in the car to enjoy it lol).

I let my misses drive my old skyline, she loved it, although a bit afraid about bringing it on boost, she learnt how to pothole dodge, and she quicky learnt the height of it for speed bumps etc etc.. i LOLed at the looks she used to cop too

She drives S4, she loves this alot more.... Even she admits the speed it gains on the freeway is frightening... She has admitted that if it was HER car she would definately start loosing points on her licence...

Hell when i had a 350z for a month she was driving that too, on McCars Creek road, hitting corners at double the reccomended speed, i was the navigator and saying "ok now break hard, hard hard, 2nd gear, ease on the throttle... GO GO GO GO GO" i dont think she realised that she could, nor a car could go around corners that fast....

Yeah occasionally id be a bit nervy, but there is nothing better than a hot chick driving a hot car IMO

It is a car after all, and whats better than someone else enjoying what you normally enjoy

lol with my car bein a weekend only as i have a daily.. my misses would often drive my car.. nothin like hearin her boost away and givin it some when she leaves home.. makes me laugh and then hearing the stories of the head turns and comments she gets..

prob is now she wants me to turbo her lancer lol

you guys are funny.

I taught my then GF, now wife, how to drive manual in my R33.

We were down at Wakie for a track day and i was to stuffed to drive home, so it was either she learn't or we were sleeping in the car :-)

Crashed out at one stage, and when I woke up, looked over and she was cruising happily at 160k's.

BUT the most important thing is why have a GF/Wife if they're not able to drive you home after a night out getting smashed???

Hand that man a new!!!!

Genuis. Pure genius.

I taught my missus to drive manual in my 33 as well. Had to drive home back from singleton to the gong and had no choice but to learn.

I'd have no issue my GF driving my car if it didn't stall when you put the clutch in too quickly. Sometime it's hard to realise and its stalled doing 80km/hr or so and I worry that she won't realise, hit the brakes and find out there's hardly anything there!

I'll let most people drive my car - dosn't really bother me and you never really get the chance to hear and see what your car goes like from the outside if you don't...

I'll particularly let any good looking female drive it (inluding my partner of course) - the site of a hot girl in a modified car is something to behold.

HI JACKING THREAD TIME

see thats not a hijack, what you have stated there just tells everyone here you havent got the brains, wit, good looks, or d*ck to do the job....the flash cars should be a bonus....for her anyway.

if it was anything like the first date i went on with my current g/f it was the holden rodeo 3 litre turbo diesil with all my tools in the back, paperwork all over the back seat and my german shepard gaurding the front seats.

I let my gf drive my old silvia all the time. She loved the power of it. Now when she has to drive her mum's lancer she hates not having the power there lol.

I'd let her drive my gtr if she could reach the pedals/push in the triple plate clutch haha.

Guys, if you don't want your gf to drive your car just get a triple plate clutch or get a bride rail and recaro seat!!!

i let my wife drive my Gtr all the time, but the problem is when she drive it,she feels a bit worry cuz she mite hit a guter. She said driving a gtr u feel that u have to make sure u drive it probaly cuz if u dont,and something goes wrong can be alot $$$$$.

i trust her alot and the same time im worried that someone mite hit my car.$$$

Hand that man a new!!!!

Genuis. Pure genius.

I taught my missus to drive manual in my 33 as well. Had to drive home back from singleton to the gong and had no choice but to learn.

hahahahaha better even if she gets up it with you and 3 mates in the back all hammered... whilst on the way to maccas of course!

IMO nothing better than you and 3 mates hammered, with your misses driving, chopping ricers and shitboxes making people upset.. whilst yelling out the window....

Mayuri Krab - shit dude, id never let my mum drive my car! Terrible driver!

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
