I'll bring my coon out as well, then well have a BA, the LSD is ford quality and only spins one wheel though.

Oh I thought yours was an AUII my bad. Change that to 4 Skylines (seeing as ravi wants to take his laser instead) An XF, A BA and a TRD Laser.

I drifted a taxi BA once so the LSDs cant be that bad!

Speaking of toilets put fish and prawns and stuff in a systern. Works like a toilet duck... but in a bad way

yeah thats more or less what an 'upper deck' is....you take a shit in the systern, we did this to a guy at boarding school, the results were pretty terrifying.

i wonder how a diesel fwd captiva manual would do in that situation :whistling:

Lots of torques in the craptiva deisels. Handbrake on, clutch dump at 5.5 and it should smoke well!

i dont think they rev that high. Might look into that. Would look awfally funny tho.

Hahahaha John I forgot about the TRD laser thing...... always brings a tear to my eye hahahahahahaha

Actually I'm pretty sure I have a TRD sticker somewhere in it now

I just have to put it in performance mode and it usually goes alright, it changes the shift point as well so I get more in first and second, that's all that matters anyway when youve got a 4 speed.

I should bring the Subaru liberty out, it has a half drift bonnet half white matte supercheap auto paintjob. We'll get some maccas trays and do donuts.

GTFO Ford lover!! :domokun:

speaking of fords... fords and holdens are back next weekend for the super taxis round 2... woot woot

off to Adelaide on wednesday for another year of 1st corner rappage... hope i dont get glass in my arm this time tho...

damn south australian pubs, bunch of bastards...

Good son of rajab my former boss is an ass. Seven years with the company in a senior management position and he couldn't even be f**ked giving me a call or coming in to the pub on my final day with the company to say good bye or wish me all the best for the future...

I bet he wonders why he has had 19 hotel managers resign in the last three years as well.

Japan got a tsunami. Hopefully no gtr's or other classics were washed away.

More like a tsunami created by a mega 8.9 quake, the place is farked.

I was watching it live on tv and it was amazing the speed and height of the water and seeing people jumping out of their cars and running. it was shocking.

Can anyone remember such a horrible start to a year than this one.

thoughts and prayers with all the guys and girls over there.

    • 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
