Heya buddy, nope don't think that was me. I wasn't around that way dude! Hmm.. i don't think so anyway LOL

Mind you, i've got a twin running around... same kit, but he's has got a wing.

g'day mate. Maybe there are triplets! this one had no wing and im sure it was you in the car!!

spotted an orange 32 at JB Hi-Fi today - "not-urs" I think - anyone on here?

Spotted a white 33 at Woodside this morning 8:30am - anyone on here?

yo man, pretty sure i saw your car in our install bay? had a double look at it, nice car dude. And yeah thats me drivin flicks 32 at the moment, dunno if i wanna give it back :(

no1 has spotted a gunmetal R34 GTR yet?

new number plate (next week) is GTR 034

$170 once off payment personalised plate, lucky no1 has it yet

:(

seen a black one (r34 gtr) driving along O.G. Rd in the mornings a couple times on my way to work. Interesting its number plate is GTR 34 (two lines, 'GTR' on top with '34' underneath).

Congrats on the lucky numberplate.

I want personalised plates on my stag but dont want to pay every year - still trying to think up a good "name" lol :)

Was driving on west terrace yesterday night at about 12.30am. Saw a nice wide body EVO (not sure it was EVO or EVO-want-to-be VII or VIII) dashed by. Nicely lowered and the body kit looked awesome!! Saw its back only thou. So, I thought of stepping on my pedal and have some fun with the EVO since I was alone in the car, and just the second before I stepped on my pedal, I saw a white holden with a big antenna passed by! Wasn't sure that it was an undercover cop or not. So, I didn't gamble! Just continue with my lonesome ride back home....lol ;)

Anyway, just out of interest, are we able to smoke the EVOs? or I'm just being too ambitious? :P

also on my way back from the rocking horse i was taking a corner @ about 70kph that was rated for 35 and as i entered it a copper came round it and gave me this look, eyes wide open mouth open was gold i know he thought about turning around but there was no where to love the 80 zone all the way through the hills

Hahaha madaz that happened to us once in the hills on a cruise. We had 12 cars flying round this corner and these undercover cops came round it the other way - eyes and mouths both wide open in shock - everyone saw it and started going harder just in case!

I'm sure you're already aware but I'll just post this for the benefit of everyone reading...

Be careful driving through the hills as they are now putting fixed speed cameras on most roads in the hills. There have been cameras set up (camouflaged as well so you may not see them) on gorge rd for a while and they are installing them on many roads in the hills...

its unfortunate because these roads can be quite fun but apparently its because of the number of fatal motorbike accidents on these roads so from that perspective I guess its probably a necessary measure. :P

....but apparently its because of the number of fatal motorbike accidents on these roads so from that perspective I guess its probably a necessary measure. :action-smiley-069:
Actually the cameras were setup because motorcyclists have been the biggest speeding offenders in those parts of the hills but, I agree its a necessary preventive measure to reduce accidents.

ok GTR 34 is a custom plate, u'd have to pay yearly on that plate

to get personalised plate for the stag, u'd need 6 digits

eg. ABC 123, ABCD 12, ABCDE 1 or AB 1234, A 12345

letters and numbers have to be separate, u cant mix, thats why its cheaper to pay

mine's GTR 034

yeah i know - didn't realise you could vary the amount of letters vs numbers. I previously thought you had to have 4 letters and 2 numbers and in that order...

Its interesting that STAGEA can technically be written as all numbers (574634 - using some imagination) - and a pity that STAG34 had been taken when i first registered it here. :action-smiley-069:

not in a hurry but thanks for clearing up the letters/numbers details there :D

vange turning onto rundle last night bout....um flick what time we get to freedom's lol??

an met madaz as well. we half got the front guards rolled on my mates pug man, i got the right done pretty damn well, left just wouldn't happen haha.

    • 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.
