lol and I thought the race car was low key. was off to hills to get it tuned.

that traffic was shithouse I could not do that every night. especially not with a race clutch, straight thru zorst, race brake pads (ie no braking when cold), no radio, no demister in the rain.

Were you in the Z? I didn't notice it :P

nah the 33..... i was crawling through the etag thing to get onto the M2 and caught the yellow beast out the corner of my eye...

Yeah im usually going in the opposite direction but tonight was long weekend crazy traffic... never normally that bad!!

Spotted white 33 gtst on luxford rd mt druitt round 930 this morning.

Spotted myself driving after 9 months worth of suspensions finally came to an end today :P , must remember to be careful coming off suspension in double demerit times.

Spotted ROB 32T I think it was in seven hills today.. awwwwwwwwwwwwwesome looking car, I think it was a bit laggy though or it was just double demerits lol

spotted an older dude in a silver R32 GTR in seven hills around 5pm too.. then another one on seven hills road parked..

spotted a few SAU'ers at the northern last night .... Steveo, Ando, Adam, Carly, Corinne, Dave, Georgie, Nick, Smoky.... ummmz did I forget anyone????

Didn't forget me....as I wasnt there :( d'oh

Spotted my car in the garage when it should be ON the road and racing this weekend :P

Awwwww tried calling you to make you feel included... :P

I think I was a bad influence on Georgie.... she was "k im going home" and I went "just one more drink" :)

several times this sequence occured.... :(:)

Spotted coppers following me home ... again, :(

was on the driveway waiting 4 the garage door to open to sufficient height so I can get in

wankers stopped on the road in front of me driveway and shone some bloody torch at me car

can I make a complaint for stalking?

how was wakie yesterday? sounds like it is very wet for the state supersprint today

Was a fantastic day - sunny and cool, about 21. It was my first time out at Wakie and first time in the GTR all out on the track. I think it would have been better if my front transfer case was actually working as I was oversteer city everywhere.

I managed consistent 1:20's with a 1:17, 1:18, 1:19 while chasing down the Evo and Breakmaster. That was on my street tyres that are just regular 'ol Toyo Transas. Next time I'll bring out the slicks.

Now my pads are a bit glazed so have to tear 'em down to scuff them up. Better get some track pads too.

Great day!

(although I had to vacuum out the car from all the grass and dust, I went off about 5 times :blush: my bad!)

    • 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
