could see that comment coming a mile away lol, its stainless steel.

its also a reputable brand.

stainless is brittle as hell tho... thats why they only use it for display swords... live blades only run HRC60-65 steel ;\

Maybe its metal fatigue? stainless is cool to bling stuff up but if its the undercarriage who cares what it looks like?

mines scraped to buggery in either case

-D

My justjap 3" bellmouth dump-front pipe is going strong 5yrs down the track. Great value for money.

As for short split dumps, I'm running Hks split dumps on the rb26 engine. Hasn't been tuned & driven in anger (yet) so I can't comment on pros/cons in this instance as yet.

It's been covered in the defect thread before .. I have an old copy of the stats here - pretty sure it's still accurate for R34:

Thanks for that- I had a search and couldnt find anything- the best i got was a PDF say legal requirements but nothing specific to r34. And yes I know that any cheek they will defect ya---this is a case of a 34 having it's coilovers put back in after an inspection and the owner wants to bump them up to the correct ride height as they are well below it currently--just to take some of the attention away.

Also JRM I noticed you has commented in a thread about mfd installation to gtt-I'm

Asuming u did this to yours? Did u have the tv button on yours? I'm in the middle of putting that into mine at the moment-not to keen on soldering the pins on the board to disable the Japanese message- :/

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to raise mine since the 18" have gone on. The factory 17" it was sitting *just* on the lowest legal, with the LMGT4's it's down to 335/340 I seem to recall. I only had them on for a week before the car was in for repairs, and I haven't seen it since, though.

Yup, I have an MFD in my GTT. Mine came with the TV button on it, yeah - I've never actually used it though, I have a 7" in-dash touchscreen for my car-pc, so it probably changes things..

Ah fair enough- mines not from a vspec2 so it doesn't have the button- so far the button is added-in the middle of inserting RCA plug and solderin it in and disabling the jap message-- there's not a lot of room for error in there. I have touchscreen DVD player and nav and what not- but figured I would try make use of the function being there--reverse cam/DVD/ whatever i send to it.. Did u get exhaust and intake sensors wired up? I wired my intake to AMB sensor just to give the reading rather than display a 0 reading. Accidentally wired exhaust to AMB first and it was reading between 570 degrees to 610 degrees whereas the intake displays etwren 0-15 depending what the temp it outside--the mfd must use the signal differently as the same signal gives two readings.. Interested in purchasing the two sensors and adding them on also. I hear they aren't cheap!!

Ive got a bellmouth but it cracks on the flange every year or so, luckilly my next door neighbour is a professional welder at ASC :D

Was it your neighbbour that fixed it last year? It should last longer than that if he worked at ASC :laugh:

I didn't use the ambient sensor for intercoler temperature, as it made my air-conditioning unit play up (it has an ambient display temperature anyway). I have since purchased the sensor, but I haven't gotten around to fitting it mainly because there's no-where factory to put it and I need to talk to someone with the 'skillz' to figure out a place to put it.

With regards the exhaust temperature sensor - I'd love to fit it - but at $300-400, it's a difficult thing to justify for me...

Edit: Keep eyeing off this thread about NACA ducts in the bonnet like the R34 VS2 .. whilst the car is in the repair shop is definitely the right time to do it ..

    • 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.
