I agree with the herpa. The f**k are you measuring shit for. Just get it done mofo.

In other news, I've just logged into a uni computer to finish an assignment thats due in tomorrow. Everything I did on it last week is gone. Export must have f**ked up in the program or some shit so now I'm redoing everything from last week. So so lame.

Herpa: "this micrometer stuff is bullshit. why would i need to measure stuff to fix a car?"

i actually face palmed...

Measure twice, cut once

Measure not at all, cut untill you get it right

Sucks to be you. A lot.

Finished Uni assignment in 3 n a bit hours sucks to be the retards who can't use the program lol. So many people in my tut who have no idea. Ahwell few hours to kill before futsal

Still haven't got these f**king studs off the hub... think I need a heavier hammer. Would a dead blow hammer be any better than a normal hammer/mallet (both of which I've tried)

Ravi i'll have a look at how they are setup on my 33 hubs tomorrow arvo. Might have to come and give you a hand with these

Oh you need to know how to use micrometers, dial gauges and calipers when being a mechanic, how else will you measure how thick a rotor is or how much run out its got :blush:

although you can get digital ones

Morning Mangs,

Still haven't got these f**king studs off the hub... think I need a heavier hammer. Would a dead blow hammer be any better than a normal hammer/mallet (both of which I've tried)

Have you tried yelling at it?

Sorry mang I don't know the details of a boat rear end. They're pretty easy to do in an aus spec 31, HR31 though the hub has got to come off and its a pr*ck of a job.

Really guys? Pooooor whoring today :D I needs halppp!

Sorry, had cricket and then tried to learn to drive an F1 car without the nOOb line turned on. F*cking hard, gave up and went to bed.

@Colon: Did dan bail on you guys for futsal?

Pfft, if it's not rusty it's still good :blush:

Digital FTW

Having a fail night

That's what she said

1:35 - 1:42 is the part I'm failing at

That's what she said

I could do it yesterday but today I can't :(

That's what she said

So I was driving to work today, in the left hand land and there is a bus in front which I know is going to stop at the bus stop. There is a gap just big enough to fit a car in next to me, indicator goes on and BAM, the asshat in a huge 4wd (chev or something - looked american) plants his foot and closes the gap. Fortunately, the car behind wasn't driven by such a douchebag and they let me in. So I get past the bus and back in to the left lane, shoot past the cocknugget in the 4wd, and let him know how much I appreciated his actions with a one finger salute. He didn't like that, dropped into my lane and started tailgating me. I didn't want to brake test him as I was sure to come of second best, so at the next side street on the left (where I wanted to go anyway, it's a shortcut past all the traffic lights), at the last minute gave the brakes a quick tap to get the weight forward and then hauled arse round the corner. Mr. fuckstain saw my brake lights come on and stomped the brakes, then realised i was turning and tried to follow me. SIF. Straight over the traffic island (collecing a 'keep left' or something sign along the way), across the other lane and parked against the gutter. Unfortunately he kept it the right way up :P looked like a flat tyre or two though. I kept going on my merry way :)

Serves the dickwad right. He is a waste of oxygen AND a Shit Bloke.

Nice. I see you're learnin' them one keep left sign at a time....

Also LOL at Shit Bloke.

Yeah Dan was a shit bloke and dogged us last night. We started the match with 4 players. Halfway through the first half the other 2 guys on the team turned up. We should of won but ended up losing 6 - 4 I was pretty disappointed.

+1 for stupid cnut deserving it.

shit bloke for sure

This web filter at work is the biggest nazi. Just added red bull racing website to the list of things i've gotten blocked at work :)

Gotta love it when shit like that happens. And you know he would have been cursing your name as you sped away into the distance.

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
