spotted white r33 GTS-t BAR ### on the m4 and turning onto northern rd. we were in the black 180. Gave ya a nod.

Also lots of skylines and the guys at the SAU stand at auto salon

Spotted a tough looking 32 GTR going north on pacific highway through Turramurra around midday.

And then later on I passed a white 34 with a nice bodykit and black (carbonfibre?) bonnet and green p plates turning onto boundary in chatswood...

Spotted a poor bugger in a White R34 at the BP servo on Church street in North Parra tonight at about 11:30pm getting defected by 2 cops in a blue unmarked Falcon, I was in desperate need of fuel but i knew it was suicide to drive in there and fill up while they had their heads burried under your bonnet.

Then I spotted another unmarked Falcon with a sizable antenna parked in the bus stop outside Kings School, then when i drove past he started driving with his lights off accelerating and sliding all over the road with tyre screech, once i heard his tyres and noticed he took off with the lights off in hope to catch me with my pants down I quickly darted into the side streets (pays to know back streets of any area because 9 times out of 10 the cops are unfamiliar with the area, unless they grew up there or have worked the area for years and years), through north rocks, went into a friends driveway, turned the lights off and most importantly took my foot of the brake pad..... +1 for my beloved skyline, -1 for another unmarked police cars stupid driving endangering lives by driving like a hoon in a dnagerous manner and by not turning his driving lights on while driving at 11:30 at night on a public road (also could indicate DUI due to the fact they are taught that people drving at night without headlights turned on are generally drunk), and also speeding on a public road without any siren or any flashing warning lights on....

Disclamer: I didn't need to speed, all the zig zagged small unlit streets did the job for me,,,,, all he had to do is turn on his flashing lights and I would have stopped for him.... also I wasn't signalled or was their any hard evidence that he was indeed a police car after me, so why can't i drive through the back streets and park in my friends drive way and turn the lights off as quick as i can?????

also i think i will change my number plates because I must surely be a target by now if he's ego was hurt for loosing the easiest tail lights to see from a mile away....

just spotted a gun metal grey 32gtr on castle hill Ed west pennant hills cross of county rd I think they waved?

Its county drive....

    • 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
