Recommended Posts

Afternoon gentlemen.

How was the weekend? I was in Sydney with the training crew. Saturday was the spent hiking around the Blue Mountains and the Jenolan Caves. Awesome stuff. Sunday we spent it at Darling Harbour drinking in the sun next to the opera house. Epic BBQ on the Friday night and last night.

McFly, the Car looks horn with the GTP's. I would have come for a look-see if I was in the state. I fly back tonight.

McRae, Nice work on the B2B. Sub 1hour. Aewesome.

Evening, squire!

Sounds like an awesome weekend.

I spend saturday turning the alfa into a 300zx (engine out!), and generally piss farting around. Sunday was lakeside. Also much F1 all weekend, FTW.

A likely story...

McRae

I like it.

Side note I just won a ride in a drift car... should be awesome.

At archerfield?

Sorta depends on which driver/car you get put in as to how good it is

Got pulled over this morning on the way to work (a whole 2km) apparently my car isn't registered, although I have the sticker and certificate to prove it and I was shitting myself at this point thinking that a fine would be the last thing I needed right now. Cops accepted the sticker after having a fiddle with it. Would have been a different story if it was a cop on his high horse.

Would anyone happen to have a spare battery that holds charge alright until I get a new one? It's for my falcon, the negative is on the left and positive on the right. Only saying this because the one I got from someone today was opposite and the leads won't reach that far.

Reportin in

Realised that I have a replacement exhaust for my laser sitting on the parts laser in the garage, that is minus one muffler... so removed that on sunday arvo and ran out of time getting it on the 'good' laser before the sun went down, plus cbf hahaha.

That along with the stractors should give it some bang in the noise department hahah.

Also just been offered 5g cash from some boost loser for my 33. f**ktard.

P.S. compressor + air tools makes anything mechanically-minded soooooooooo much better..... oh my god I can't believe the difference

    • 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
