Need to take a fridge from Stafford to Aspley.

And Tas made mention of a GTR bonnet I might be able to get - Not sure where that's coming from, but it would also be going to aspley

:banana:

Too easy, we just gotta work out when I guess...

TECH QUESTION:

I don't want to hack up my front bar, are there decent half sized front mounts, or decent air to water coolers for the rb20?

Hmm... define hack up. I managed to find one on ebay that I could fit in the 31 without hacking any metal, just had to take some plastic off. Have a search on ebay, theres a remarkable variety of sizes and shapes :(.

I used to have an apexi one, return flow, about half the "normal" size you see on front mounts.

that one has been discontinued for quite a while. Have never seen another skyline with it on.

Part I - Sweet as bro!

Part II - Define "hack up"? I don't want to cut my front bar AT ALL. The front bar is probably my favorite part on my cars body. I want to keep it how exactly how it is with the slightest mod of changing the gay, useless yellow fog lights, to sans poof, usable white driving lights.

Actually that reminds me, i think what you want is a "Stealth" kit, which you can get for 32s/33s. These are designed to fit without hacking anything, and run the pipes through the stock holes and everything.

oooo I like the sound of "Stealth"!

It makes my pants tingle like there's a ninja in there!

LOL

Actually i've just been looking, it looks like there only around for boats :banana:

Your best bet is probably to measure how much room you've got in there and start trawling ebay

though once again it looks like r33/34 only, what i would do in that case is buy the stealth core then get Dan at ERD to knock you up some pipes to fit

assuming the stealth core is small enough to fit behind the 32 bar without cutting...

sheould be, i managed to get the generic gtr size chinese thing behind my front bar with out cutting

oooo I like the sound of "Stealth"!

Another option could be getting either a r34 side mount, or maybe an ARC side mount. they are quite a bit larger than the standard ones

Or just man up and molest that front bumper.

But seriously you should be able to find a front mount that will fit in the stock bumper. There are hundreds of sizes out there and it will just be a matter of getting the piping to suit.

sup skins, my mangin mang

Mang. Just manging the usual type of mang.

Morning mangtlemen.

Anyone else get up for the gym at 530, only to fall asleep and wake up an hour and a half later? :banana:

LOL @ Telstra. Just had to ring up to cancel old phone line and she answered the phone something like this:

"Hi this is <-insert name of hot sounding phone girl-> on the Gold Coast. How can I help you today?"

I guess they want to make it quite clear that you are not talking to someone in india :banana:

    • 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
