Yep thats our new Super Wagon. It arrived on Monday ;) The wife is turning into a hoon already though but geez it's a nice car. 99% sure that will be the recce car for April - the Audi RS4 we are bringing to TWP next week. I'd have brought the R36 next week but the wife won't let me even drive it down the shops yet let alone let me take it for a week! lol But the wife and kids will probably come in April so I'll be allowed to bring it as I'll be under supervision!

it's alive!!! the bodyworks painted the lip, i think it looks better with the black lip

i think dad is thinking of twp, even though there are no spots left?!

The novelty of seeing an RS4 in tas is enough, and you pricks are doing recce in one!!! Don't need any help/crew do you?

Should be good for doin all the handbrake turns required when wanting to run over a piece of road again in recce :cheers:

Well that last seal kit in existence will allow us to have the best handbrake ever, although im definately not buying new tyres b4 hand!

Hmm yeh the black looked better, White Knight flat black... you know you want to!

PS nice to see you washed the charf off!

well it is with huge relief i give my latest update..... i have somehow managed to fit back into the race suit :P

that and i think we are on the wednesday night boat, so may catch up with some of you blokes for a quiet shandy on the crossing.

wash the charf off! it's sill got clay all down the side of it. It'll get a good clean soon.

Excelent. Should be a fun convoy down to Hobart Thursday morning then too. Roll ons anyone?? :cheers:

I'd be interested to see how Ze R34 compares to an R35 straight line actually. I know 1st hand that Jeff's R34 is slower than his R35 so it would be interesting to see if my special body kit helps fix that. :cheers:

Change of plans sadly & no convoy- looks like we are booked for the Tuesday night boat.

Will see everyone at scruitineering or Friday evening at the briefing no doubt, if not before.

I'll be the one in the pink car ;)

well there were super high winds here today. lots of power outages in launceston and hobart.

just put the power fc pro in the gtr. still running the engine in, so can't give the launch control a proper crack.

My mate Blaise over in W.A. just bought himself a new car yesterday for the purposes of making a Tarmac Rally Car. It needs a bit of work (obviously!) but for $10K it looks like a good buy. It probably won't see any events in 09 but it should be right to play in 2010.

gotta say, the 22 idea would have been heaps cooler!

...and only tossers own evos!

One week out and I'm getting excited! :) The race wheels are now on - just the stickers to go and the car is done. It's a shame we have to put any on actually as the car looks pretty sweet as it is right now although the ones we do have coming are pretty amuzing.

And Stu - Blaise has another idea which I'll talk to you about next week (looking forwards to meeting you in person and really hope we can have a beer at some stage).

ah cool, gotta atleast try and be different.

car looks awesome, the black rims really do finish the package

all up for beers, drop me a text on the 0412 number (its the easiest way to get me during event)

    • 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
