Electrics seem to be ok for now.

The gabnr told me that my brake lights look JDM spec - I can live with that :laugh:

Everything else is working fine too. No more gremlins yet :)

lol at seeing servo holdup on the news

You should go brick those fkn sparkies that rorted you big time man. Oh and off the top of their head, any one know if whiteline 33 gtr sway bars are at all able to be fit onto a gtst? Rear part numbers are almost the exact same...

i think ive read somewhere that they do - but dont take my word on it

brandon would probs know

pahaha, if brandon knew how cheap these were he'd beat me to the punch.

John, that r34 spoiler on the 32 looks pron!! You're right tho, dont think it'd suit a boat though. Might ask a mate to photo shop it for shits and giggles

Unless he hears "sway bar" and thinks "spoiler" like his other two mixups this week lol. I think Brandon is getting drunk on that bubble tea :)

now you can see why I'm going to put one on mine :laugh::)

I think your car is just going to be too round for it. Would be interesting to see though. If you get it photoshopped I'd like to have a look at the result :laugh:

Yeah agreed. Will let you know what it looks like once I get a mock up done.

im sure brandon doesnt need them as he has a gtr

Adjustable whitline front and rear sway bars are definitly an upgrade over stock items. He has an n1 though so the fkr doesn't need anything, except lowering (unfair call?)

spot on

if you are looking to upgrade your sway bars - let me say that i sat shot gun 5 laps at qr in a 33 drifting with sways (kev's beast :) ) and then 5 laps in a 33 drifting without sways - and the difference was amazing

was a real eye opener for me

i dont know if drifting is your thing or not - but the handling was like 849234x more lolz

LOL 849234x more aye. Looks like I'm sold. Just need to check with an elite one to see if they'll fit....fkn gtr owners

yeeeh someone here will be able to give you a yay or nay tomorrow :)

Schweet. Hows ur 180 going?

lol as good as it can,

im awaiting a new sr - so its just sitting in my garage

then that gets fitted, then turbo gets refitted, some other thingys and a tune :)

wtf your motor blew?? The last cruise I went on I think you were waiting on funds to clear....motor lasted 2 months??

motor lasted less than 1500km in 2months running 8psi of boost with no track time

go figure

Feck bro you have my sympathy....and fists if they're required to put the hurt on, lol. Was it a private sale? If it was sold under a business, statutory warranty applies but I think thats only for 30-40days

wtf your motor blew?? The last cruise I went on I think you were waiting on funds to clear....motor lasted 2 months??

plus side is now i have funds so im sweet to drop some cash like a player and leave it with the guys to fix everything and get her running perfect :)

then skiiiiiiidz

    • 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
    • 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.
