Sarp Mangs,

I tried... :(

People bitching about not enough time off of work. Bah, Bah I say! We got reemed over the weekend and I get to do it all again this weekend as well.

In fun news, got time off of work for all of the events except the EFI track day. Cruise and drag day are locked in.

That's part and parcel of your chosen career, deal with it :P

My chosen career is supposed to let me bum on the internet and take days off when i feel like it, except when the sh*t and the fan attempt to occupy the same space... which accurately describes the current situation :(.

you serious?

fark. I don't want to have to play my xbox, and pay for online gaming...

time to re-upgrade my pc. or at least reformat it. it's a quad core, so should still be ok.

its bloody annoying... it all started by some smart cookies hacking psn to be all "im like the best ever"

so then sony found them and decided to make a point with them by taking them up the bot bot legally for ever cent they have...

so in turn the rest of the hacking community decided to attack PSN to show them whos boss...

its all a big pissing contest and we users of PSN are the victims in it all...

f**ked week is f**ked. Short staffed over long weekends is no fun at all. Can't wait until the new manager starts, no more 70 hour weeks and I can take some time off :)

Also, delicious ribs in two weeks boys and girls! Om nom nom nom!

Actually, that's one week for delicious ribs :P Time is all warped for me at the moment... or was that the last moment...

Its actually one day for me. :thumbsup:

    • 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
