does anyone know what wheels are on this boat? I like 'em... and want a set. Hektik rims bro!

im glad your always being a funny kent. they look like chromes been canned black.

I am impressed dave. lot of work

do mine when you are finished? :D

if you sign the deed over to me :D i wana build another after this one to. ill buy all the right tools this time :geek:

Will do :D - if it's still around, there's a turbo auto s13 in hamilton that looks ok. Hopefully get that and do a manual conversion. If not, I'll try and find a decent s13 that we can throw an RB into. Or who knows? There may be a tidy 180 available, or a 32... time will tell!

I am about to throw a questionable amount of cash at my car so its running again - Make me a stupid offer.

Sick thread Dave. So much work eh. Rescepta.

Well the 31 is home :D Tried to start it, dead battery so jumped it and drove it up and down the street with half the front end missing lol. Box feels pretty nice and it sounds tough as f**k with the straight pipe & no cat lol.

test fitted the guard i bought off ebay and the front end gear I got off Martin/Dan. Will need a bit of work but it looks good. Pictures tomorrow when its light lol. Can't wait to start now :D Won't get started this weekend though because I need to give the GTR a bit of love haha.

if you need any other parts or panels i got a fair bit of them lying around here at home, also if you need bolts i got them from the 2 31's i have wrecked

Panels i'm all set unless I decide to replace the passenger side rear door which has a bit of a ding in it. I reckon it will come out though. Bolts I definitely need for the front guard and fitting the front bar etc.

Ok i'll round up the bolts to hold that stuff together. I got a rear left hand door if you want it, not sure if its straight or whatever but i'll check it out tomorrow if you want it you can take it

Cheers bud. I'll leave the door for now. I reckon I can get the ding out of this one, its not that bad.

Uni work is gay. Looking forward to springbrook later :D

$6,400? whats the matter with that?

Read the description. Just needs blah blah blah. Just needs to cost 3k less.

You must be joking yeah.

    • 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
