Hey, how did you go with cuntstable whats-his-name?

He hasn't been back at my place since, and haven't heard anything, so am hoping that's the end of the matter.

Ok so i went to my local tyre shop this arvo. Question to y'all does anyone want new rims?

I can get 2 sets:

Work Meister S1

18x8 +35 / 18x10 +22

Polish Silver Finish 2 peice

Offers around $2500-$3000

Work Emotion XD9

18x9 +30 / 18x10 +22

Magnesium Finish

Offers around $1500 - $2000

They are brand new in box never had tyres fitted, all 5x114.3 and all legit. If you want them PM me and i'll put you in touch with them

John's day at school:

Got there early and there were a couple of people already waiting, they were slaves, but they seemed aiight. Not the kind of slave to boost your car, but not the kind you'd trust around your wives or daughters either.

Then slowly more people arrived including one sandwich maker that's as wide as all outside.

Then some dude turned up to show us through the buildings etc. While he was talking the bus of wayward youths turned up. Flat cappers, skinny jeaners, lip ringers - that kind.

Turns out it was two groups - one for automotive, and one for construction... strangely the majority of the herpaderps went to construction...

So then my class breaks down thusly:

15 people

1 fat fucker who already think he knows everything because he has already done 3 tafe courses...

4 slaves (2 decent ones I met to start with, and two coon slaves who just laugh and carry on like tools the whole time.)

1 half slave 15 year old fat fucker who walks at roughly the same pace as erosion took to form the grand canyon, until he gets to a flight of stairs. Then he simply lets gravity so all the work and nearly killed everyone else on the stairs twice...

1 other 15 year old who had no concept of time and comes back late from every break

1 mobile sandwich unit who doesn't understand the simple instruction "no food or drink in the classroom... and ate the ENTIRE day.

4 stoners, one of whom can't lift his feet when he walks and it sounds like he's dragging concrete blocks along the ground. Lazy cunt. Major attitude problem too. Cracks the shits every time they do a roll call as though he shouldn't have to be asked more than once in his entire life.

2 nerdy looking gits

And me

Out of those 15 people. 5 were there on time. The other ten GOT LOST on the way there. Catching the wrong train/bus, Not being able to find Bracken Ridge, etc. 3 of them had to leave early to go and buy safety gear that they should have already had and have had more than a week to get it all. One of the people who got lost actually was so stupid that they drove around looking for it until they ran out of fuel...

Martin - turns out the guy with the Alfa wasn't the teacher, just the guy ushering us into the building and stuff.

    • 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.
