That would make sense, but a search around online says the figure varies considerably depending on the car (obviously).

But AWD autos have the most drivetrain loss, and figures I saw thrown around online were between 25-35% loss. If this figure is constant, which would make sense, maybe it's 25-35% off the stock figure?

exactly...I was gonna say so my car must be 370kw at the flywheel!!

AFAIK the loss is a constant figure, not a % which increases with power!

Correct it's a constant. If initial loss is say 35kw thats it. It doesn't multiply the loss as it makes more power. The amount lost can also vary depending what gear the car is tested in. So it's a highly variable figure and one I don't usually worry about.

Hey guys.........excuse me.........,m35 owners???

Less talk about killa wasps more about cruising, this isn't another" I can't tune my 35 because turbo is about to blow up" thread.

Back on topic please

Ok, lets resume our regularly scheduled program.

Are the C34s going to turn up or have they all rusted apart? :nyaanyaa:

Yesterday I picked up ours from the "Ding Shop"...now looking very "bling"

All the "cuts & bruises" have been repaired...not sure why the Japs put foam under the mirrors ?

....sure doesn't help long term preservation. Did they do it to the M35's ?

"them OLD folks"

Too early to organise a northern meeting point for a convoy to the dirty south? Parrofield airport carwash anyone?

Happy to meet at the carwash first :yes:

"the OLD peeps"

Must of been the year for bubs

satachi >>> olds>>>

im up for a carwash convoy at parafield.. when we thinking.. 9:00 7 leave 9;15 to get there by 10?

let me know

I'm not sure where the meet point is exactly yet...then we can work out how much time we need to get there

but 9am is OK with us ???....over to you Satachi ??

OLD Mark

If the meeting point is the same as the last cruise Robbie organised, leaving the wash at 9:15 should get us there in time.

Robbie can ya pass on the plan of the car wash meeting point to the northern leggys for us? Cheers

    • 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
