yea that was once.. pulled the fuse out and took it drifting..

was happy for a stock outfit with just R34 stock suspension on the front.. lost my radiator, Optima battery drycell, rad shroud that day :P

lol. One of our directors has requested another webcam to be set up with pan/tilt/zoom on it. So I'm getting another toy to play with. If they give me access to it that is. I doubt it. Pricks.

omg it rained for 2mins then starting to sunshine again

Where abouts are you?

Anyone know whats it like on the sth side at all?? :)

Leaving the Valley in about half an hour...

Holy page whores thread man :)

So anways I took my mate for a drive and he said I wont be able to take my car around lakeside because its too loud :P

What tracks dont have noise restrictions?

You're an engineer Colin, build it so you've got access.

Ooh, looks like those storms turn up this arv! :P

I'll get access somehow. I'm the one who's organising it so I figure they'll probably give me the user and password to pass on to the director lol.

QR has no noise restrictions I'm fairly sure.

tracks with no noise restrictions..

QR.. and other states i believe..

lakeside is only like that because of residential areas some what close by

Cool thanks :(

Hell YES!! R34 All the way... :P

:)

yeah lakeside mainly coz of one whinging f**k neighbour. But your allowed 95dB, you'd be surprised how loud that is. You might be OK.

QR is fine.

@Becks, its going to be mighty messy leaving the valley at 4ish :S. Thats about spot on when the main storm is meant to hit

I beat the storm home ;) Gotta get to cricket somehow later tonight but :(.

Advantage of driving home at 3pm in the rain to beat the storm: Schoolgirls. Of the soaking wet variety. :P:)

    • 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
