Hi mick , bit of a pissoff , i tried to get info on this cruise and it is like trying to pull teeth. I think we need to make a date and stick to it , the last one up M`CMAHONS CREEK ROAD WAS A BUZZ however maybe just have a get together and have a yack , maybe BBQ or what ever.

Least I have a good excuse.... Missus went into labour Friday night son born sat morning.... Still cruised home in the stag today from f'tree gully to rowville though!

should have taken him 4 a cruise....baby seat and turbo boooost

Yeah would of loved to cruise with him, he went straight to sleep with the hairdryer whine. Missus freak out by al the cars on burwood highway " sunday drivers" so boooooooost and no more cars... gotta love the stag!:worship:

well drove to meet point no one there vic stagea cruises=FAIL

Drove to meet point also to sus it out. Drove around meet point car park for about 10mins, no other Stag's in sight so reverted to plan B.

C'mon Stag owners, WTF! let's plan a cruise date and stick to it!

anyone interested in an australia day cruise(thurs 26th jan)??? im up for somthing if someone is willing to help organise, im not to sure of good cruise points down here, im from nsw, only been here a few yrs and out of the scene.

also, i might make another thread for this, but is there an interest for a "stagea forum" like not using SAU, and actually having a stagea club type scenario.... im not sure that there would be enough activity though. I run a pc shop and do a fair bit iof programming and can provide domain, hosting, and the technical side of things if there is other interested in helping out with moderation, gfx, layouts, tech info, etc etc.

throw me a pm and if there is enough interest, ill make a new thread.

    • 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
