For the first time ever in my working life I have two of these planned for next week (never chucked a sickie, only taken 3 legitimate sick days in the last seven years.)

Taking a half day to meet with the owners of the new pub I'm off to manage and a second half day the following day to get my baby serviced by Dan at ERD. The company owes me 460 hours of sick leave, they can pay me out 16 before I leave next Friday.

thats crazy!!!! I only ever have 3 or 4 sick days up my sleeve, the rest i make damn sure i use! :P

Work. Going to Townsville now to, but my flight has been delayed, so I'm sat at the bar.

Qantas can eat my ass and balls.

Kicking it in the Q club? I guess, they probably don't have one in cairns? :(

33 passed the roady and got some rego today :cool: Now what to do with the 31 :ermm:

I'll give you $20 if you dump it on dan's parent's lawn.

I've got 8 days avaialable atm. Good to have about a week handy I reckon.

I have this annoying work ethic that makes me feel like a douche if I slack off. I don't care if others do, I actively encourage my mates to do it so we can have fun mid week when I have my RDO's. I just don't like doing it.

That and it's hard to take time off when you run pubs, can't just leave the work to tomorrow :(

my parents love having spare cars in the side yard. they really loved the 3/4 of a 31 i had. Unfortunently you need to make it classy now, i only take euro (alfa's) in the yard.

Shopping david? yes a little of that ;) haha also got my banking setup and i now have a learner bike license

Lol I have no idea how I could use all my sick days. I've maxed out works HR hour counter thing. Pretty sure it doesn't go over 320 hours because that's how many sick leave hours I've got lol. What's that like 40 days? Could nearly have 1 a week for a year worship.gif

    • 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
