Recommended Posts

Some of you may have noticed the upgraded look of SAU.

If you have any feedback, bugs, comments etc. Please post them here in a central location so that we can keep track of it all.

The main things to note are;

* Invision Power Board has been upgraded to 3.1.4

* Invision Gallery has been upgraded to 3.2.2

* New caching engine has been installed for better performance

* Massive database cleanup and optimisation

* Whole new codebase - The entire directory was deleted and the new version installed fresh (This was because we had built on the same directory and contents for almost 9 years and it was filled with bits and pieces from many old installs.)

* An iPhone/iPad app!!! Invision has an iPhone app for use with any version 3 install - Get it here.

Things to note;

* Some things might be broken. This is inevitable, it was a giant upgrade. We deleted *all* existing files and started again with a new install of Invision. If there is something that was there before and isn't now, or its still there but broken, let us know. This change was meant to increase functionality, not reduce it.

* Trader Ratings - We will be adding the 'top ten' lists and 'latest feedback' to the index of this app as well as a better search for users.

* Private Messages - These are disabled while a conversion script runs to convert them to the new 'conversations' system utilised by Invision 3.

* More themes/skins will be coming shortly.

* Only one (or none) member group icons displaying. These will be fixed soon.

There are a couple of themes I have purchased for the forums. We'll get them installed and then run a poll to get some ideas/preferences so we can keep everybody happy. ;)

is there going to be a skin like the old dark skin? because i prefer the look of it to the light skin.

also i'm not sure whether it's just when i view my posts, but if i quote someone it comes up with all sorts of encoding in the quoted post. i'll get a pic to show you incase it's just the way it shows the post to me. this was after hitting the reply button

also, liking the new mobile version (just tried it on the phone to see how it is). only thing is that i can't post pics or anything like that from it without typing the code. there is no button for it. i have to use the full site version for that which i always have problems with because the width of the text boxes are wider than my screen and it doesn't follow the text very well so i will be typing off screen for some of the line.

also i don't think i can multi quote from the mobile site either (took me a bit to figure out how to reply to a post at all). neither of the above are much of an issue since i don't use my phone to post much anyway, but i just thought i'd post up about it anyway, since that is what this thread is for.

yeah I have exactly the same issue with the title of the email notifications - unfortunately it makes it impossible to manage the duplicate emails now. The old format was OK!

Otherwise the upgrade looks great, and has been way smoother than other times over the years. Great work Christian!

Yep, as stated in the announcement, there are more skins to be added yet.

there is a but with the counters, went into the stagea forums and was redirected to the stagea for sale, didnt register that i had gone in there.

Not totally following you, can you eplain again?

It probably goes without saying, but good job on the upgrade, Im sure youve already noticed but existing posts that contained quotes seem to be a bit munted.

Yep, just noticed today, will try to sort that now.

1) Email notifications rather than saying first New Reply and then the title topic now has username ill take a screeny

Ahh cool, will sort that out.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Keep it coming.

Hey all,

I need my PM's because I'm trying get an important part posted and need to communicate via PM Messages. Any idea when this will be available again?

Cheers.

I dont anticipate the script will finish within 24hrs. I suspect they'll be available again on Tuesday.

    • 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
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
