lol so pretty much mummy and daddy bought our cars rich kid cruise

:3some: more then likely youve hit the nail on the head steve

rich parents buy cars for kids because THEY CAN... ahaha just because your parents are not rich and they failed... or they dont love you as much ... OR your so proud because you bought your own car doesn't mean you give all the kids that have nice car from their parents shit... seriously that's just jelousy when you say stuff like that... ahaha and don't say its not.. because it is, well in most cases anyways...

my parents are loaded, my entire family is cashed up out their asses. dads spending 60k on his holiday at the end of this year to visit family in america but my parents DIDNT buy my car and they could could of, probably got me a really nice one too and they didnt FAIL either!

when i had my beat up s13 in the street in my area it was so out of place it wasnt funny but even then people sterotyped me as though everything gets handed to me by my family probably why this post you made kiet pissed me off so much is that what i WORKED for to try and tell people that i work my ass off to afford everything i have its and comments like this that ruin it.

ive worked to make my s13 the best performing car i could, now ive worked to make my r32 the best condition i could and i love the comments from workshops that they say its the cleanest 32 theyve ever seen because it DOES make me proud that what people see from my 32 is nothing but hard work! work that never seems to end though...

im not jelous from kids who get their shit handed to them because their the ones that are going to fail in the future. live at home as long as you can because when you get out of home and in to the real world your going to be for a real shock. i had to get up at 4am every morning to get a lift to the train station to catch 2 different trains then walk to work to get there by 7am to work 10 hours a day monday to firday and lived on 30 bux a week, i did this for a year to afford my 32.

so yes, buying my OWN car does make me PROUD!

o but who says i dont have a job? who says im still not studying to be more successful? if i get 'shit' handed to me doesnt mean im going to fail in the future? your just saying what im saying but in your own view.. i only made that comment because people with shit handed to them get stereotyped too like 'wooo my parents bought me a gtr so EVERYTHING i own is from my parents' and it all comes from a silver platter when its not. so yeah dont get too angry buddy ahaha

i didnt say you didnt have a job or werent studying, shit im working 2 jobs and studying myself.

people get sterotyped because of things like what youve said in your orignal post, saying people whos parents cant afford to buy their child a car or nice things have 'failed'

i made my judgment of you by what youve said in your post, you made your judgment of many other peoples families on nothing but your own anger.

im not trying to put you down kiet, im just trying to get my point across. remember, ive been sterotyped as well and posts like what you made isnt really helping mate.

o but who says i dont have a job? who says im still not studying to be more successful? if i get 'shit' handed to me doesnt mean im going to fail in the future? your just saying what im saying but in your own view.. i only made that comment because people with shit handed to them get stereotyped too like 'wooo my parents bought me a gtr so EVERYTHING i own is from my parents' and it all comes from a silver platter when its not. so yeah dont get too angry buddy ahaha

problem is Kietz is respect looking at your GTR and the way you drove it and they way you talk about name swapping with police shows you have very little respect for your things and others say what you will about middle classes families not buying cars for there kids if it turns me into the values you uphold i don't want one!

i drive my gtr gave it a lil squirt i cant help that.. i know it was wrong place and time but i dont get to go out to the track and ive learnt my lesson, and the license thing i did like 4 years ago and i was just saying most youngies do it these days, which they do. and kye point taken! sorry if i offended anyone. peace =D

I grew up in the hard end of the northern suburbs in the poor areas. I had nothing aged 16 when my parents split and moved to two different states. I finished yr12 living with my grandmother. Studied hard and worked hard. Today I'm the manager of a multi-million dollar business which I helped grow from day one 9 years ago! My salary is generous and I've invested well, got degrees and other qualifications filling my walls. I now have two houses, two Stageas (all owned), 5 motorcycles (all owned), and I did it all myself.

I hate ferals who do nothing with their lives but bludge off the dole, just as much as I hate rich kids flashing around in their cheque-book-lives. Doesn't matter if you come from the poor end or rich end of society, if you've made it yourself, on your own, I've got nothing but respect for you. :)

Ive bought all my own cars.

Piece of shit green toyota celica. then a datsun sunny, nissan pulsar N12 turbo (absoloute money pit),sold that and got a r33 which I eventually sold to a friend. And finally I own a Nice 34 GTT which is double defected now :)

I dont mind ppl getting things handed to em tho. Just pisses me off if they brag about the cars and money etc handed down. When I was in highschool I knwe a few guys like this. They couldnt boil an egg and yet they were bragging about what mummy and daddy got them.

Like someone said earlier wait till 'some' of these ppl hit the real world.

too true ruby!

my parents werent always well off. i lived in some messed up area's of america and my parents having to live on 30bux a week after bills to feed the family of 4 at the time (now 6).

my dad worked his ass off and now my other 2 brothers who didnt know the poor life are acting like everything should be handed to them.

i guess you need to be poor to know what wealth really is!

hrrrm yeha wayne shouldnt have arranged a cruise on a wed night.. u should have known a cruise on a wed night would be shit anyway lol

but usually the seductive cruises are ok..last one i took the ceffy on was mad.. had about 70 cars was goood

sneezy

There's always Kell's cruise next weekend. You'll find it much better than any cruise :D

Better than any cruise??? Thanks a lot Ruby...Like i dont put any effort into my cruises :P

Better than any cruise??? Thanks a lot Ruby...Like i dont put any effort into my cruises :P

If I said yours was better than hers, Kell would kill me :D But I've been to one of yours and 5 of hers ... do the maths :down:

Thats your choice for not coming to my cruises then soo why should i do the maths, just watch out what u say before other people read it because others might get it the wrong way in context.

Well considering ive been in hospital the last days and thats why i havent been on the forums for a while im organising the opening cruise for smooth garage for the 20th..

Thats your choice for not coming to my cruises then soo why should i do the maths, just watch out what u say before other people read it because others might get it the wrong way in context.

It was my opinion that Kell's cruises are ace. Well organised and no bullshit, no bad behaviour. So I'll say what I want about Kell's cruises as long as I keep attending them. I said nothing negative about yours, but you're acting as if I did. :P The only way anyone would get it wrong in context now, is because you put yourself forward as a comparison in this topic.

If you're taking it personally its not my problem. I didn't highlight your cruise at all. I'm one member of thousands here, not like my vote is crucial. :down:

I prefer Kell's cruises .. simple as that. :D

    • 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
