I don't mind the whole 2 weeks in arrears thing. I just wished I knew about it before hand so I was able to save a few dollars for the next few weeks. Missus got paid today so that's a win and I still haven't been paid for last week at the old job so I reckon with living off sausages on bread or going to mums for dinner I'll be right.

John, should be more awake in the mornings, if i see you again expect epic alfa horns from my skyline

Getting up at 5:30 sucks donkey nuts... so being more awake won't ever work. I'm awake enough on the weeks I get up at 7:30 :thumbsup:

Didn't hear any horns today. But had the music pretty loud.

I assume thats directed at me?

I have cricket tonight, but I also have no desire to watch inception, so feel free to start that without me.

If anything cool is going down after that I'll come round.

Yeah mang no worries. Prob gonna be a quiet night.

The high lanes of AJ Wyllie Bridge on Gympie Road at Petrie have been re-opened to traffic today - one lane in each direction. The low bridge remains closed until further notice. Updates will be issued as information becomes available. Please note that Gympie Road is a Main Road and jurisdiction lies with that department. All enquiries should be directed to Main Roads on 5477 8480.

TMR now has a website where you can register for SMS updates regarding the bridge. Visit www.northpinebridgesms.com.au and follow the prompts. This service will provide regular reports on changing traffic conditions, delays and the progress of these works.

WinRAR!

F*ck you trains!

Strange, the top bridge was the one the one that was meant to be proper f*cked, and it's re-opened early. Bottom one must be royally screwed...

Sarp mangs,

Busy farkin day today. Was absolutely wrecked yesterday afternoon slept from 6pm to 6am. I'm thinking of hitting up the Casino tonight for some Pokers. Should be good.

Anything doing tomorrow?

Just ran down waterworks road,

Saw an accident at the ashgrove avenue intersection, luckily an ambo lady stopped driver side impact...

Story continues

Get 50m down the road, (within sight and hearing distance easily)

I see a police Pajero with the copper standing beside a civic writing a kid up a ticket, whilst he could literally hear and see an accident 50m away...

A yell "Hey officer, theres an accident like 50m up the road" whilst literally POINTING at it

His response ?

A wave of the hand and then back to writing his ticket, I just run off shaking my head.

PS

Where do all you brisbane/GC/SC boys go to get your exhaust work done ? I mean a place that works with these kind of cars ?

What a douche.

P.S.

Don't go to Rob Bliss exhaust. Got my car back from them and the subframe bolts were all loose :S

Fat Pipes @ Kallanger are who you want.

Just got back from the cricket. QLD got smashed. Bah

Ahh well, black ops and bourbon to finish the evening off.

We got smashed too :(

I'm on the first beer for the day!

It's 10am somewhere...

Truth.

Morning Mangs! Happy Straya Day

Sarp mangs. Casino went well last night. I accidentally someones entire paycheck. No idea what to do for staya day though. Pretty sure im just going to sit around and do nothing.

Nice! Buy me some injectors?

Feel free to come here and sit around doing nothing, drinking beer and watching the poms lose the cricket. Also listening to hottest 100.

WTF I pressurised my intake system again... all my piping seems fine. It seems like there's an air leak somewhere around the rear of the motor, on the turbo side, kind of around the back corner of the rocker cover. One of the screws there was half a turn loose so tightened that but realllllllly doubt that was the problem. I already packed up the compressor etc so I didn't check again but I doubt it did anything.

What other pipes run around the back of the motor that carry pressurised intake air??

Another +1 for fat pipes at kallangur.

Was definately straya day today, fckn hot and lots of bogans.

Not looking forward to the commute tomorrow morning, hopefully everyone is too hungover and stays in bed a bit longer.

Morning Mangs,

Straya day was good, except for losing the cricket :(.

@Scott, I has a Z32 ECU, and Nistune is on the way :). Hopefully get it tomorrow. When can you perform the required McModifications?

F*cking can't get good help these days. Sick of having to re-do work others have done because they are useless speds.

    • 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.
