Did I smell bad?

Yes and No.... Nat was keen to get home.

That's what she said.

Thats what Nuff said

I'm guessing after all the noise we made leaving, that the cops were probably there soon after. 6 cars leaving at once is pretty farkin loud :happy:

There were cops :)

yer, skid to leave!

Good man

lol slippy clutch no good :(

Ride it like it's stolen...

Sucked in mang. Looks to be a slow work day today. All nighter tonight getting assignments finished though. FTL.

So you found some inner motivation for your assigment hey??

No. Just No. That thing looks like ass.

But I have forgotten that you LandCrabs like things that are busted and half arse....

That car covers the following LandCrab styles:

Wanting epic fitment but don't wanna spend any more than $200.... Can you just widen my steelies I got of my Mum's Camry? I can get some 'as new' 2nd hand tyres off da forums....

Chopped springs in the rear, stockers in the front, "cause all the cool kids are doin it......'

A poxy 'glass lip, cause it's easy to fix it when I touch park, yo.......... That and I get discount at trade supplies for cable ties.....

Euro plate not mounted on the bar, cause it makes it look 'Exotic' and I found at the trash 'N' treasure on the weekend.........

Sideskirts that were picked up for heaps cheap off da forums. Already black. I got a $2 can of fiddly bits and sprayed my awesome 'glass lip to match....

A farked pop up headlight motor, so the other one is adjusted to match... Peoople think it has an expensive lazy eye controller.....pft sif

If you had of posted this, I would have agreed....

'glass lip, minor damage $60 off da forums

'Meshies' with 'As New' tyres $150 (lowballed) off da forums

Bonnet pins $18 of eGay. Gives it a full track spec vibe...

Can of Fiddly Bits black $2 from trade supplies. Can now paint my 'glass lip and my awesome 'meshies' with it. It'll look so sick..

Until you try to drift (overtake a truck on the motorway in the wet) and run it into the armco......

Cardboard tow hook painted custom green. Cause we all know that track day regs say either stock or RED hooks. Nice work.

I needs me somewhere to keep my funnel for when I have to refill the oil cause I'm too cheap to fit the leaking sump gasket....oh wait, that's the sump plug. Where'd it go? who cares, Gaffa tapes fixes all.

Oh and I was looking through the classifieds, and saw some tyres you may be interested in....

Ride it like it's stolen...

So you found some inner motivation for your assigment hey??

I like riding it... :)

Yeah motivation that I f**ked myself over by taking so long doing this assignment. I managed to give myself Fri/Sat to finish it. Sun/Monday Law case study 2000 words, tues/Thurs cost plan for childcare centre and wed/Fri construction methodology for cultural village project. I'm boned.

Tangentially:

Landcrab Owners' Club - http://www.landcrab.net/ - For owners of the Austin-Morris 1800/2200 and the Wolseley 18/85 & Six :)

Euro plate not mounted on the bar, cause it makes it look 'Exotic' and I found at the trash 'N' treasure on the weekend.........

umm no dude its a car from Europe

...typical Scott bullshit...

at least its good to see all those guys are;

a) getting out there and tracking it

b) spending time and money on a RWD car that'll skid

:)

    • 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.
