pretty sure it was shaun/r32gts-4 waving at us today on nth east road. Not sure if ya saw me waving from the passenger seat lol (as usual)

Ryan which car were u in? The white 33 with gold rims?

Spotted CELTS 5 parked in colonnades carpark near the woolworths end. Was a wine red R33 with Drift R rims (like madas's but silver) Looked pretty stockish but still, was a skyline so was nice. They look good with the Drift R's :D

Was at Mawson Lakes hotel this arvo & spotted couple nice R34's, white R33 GTS-T w/ GTTR*33 plates & black R33 w/ double GT-wing. Also, my friends Christmas coloured looking R33 (green, red front bar & white side skirts) :laughing-smiley-014: she had it in just off defect mode.

In a recent SAU cruise, remembered spotting an silver R33 x** 069

driver was some dark tanned asian guy tryna look tough with his

mates.

In similar news, spotted a silver R33, dunno if it was the same as

above, but it got thrashed by a yellow excel with flames!!! lol

;)

pulled up next to a black 33 on west terrace this evening bout 6:30ish. Looked familiar, didnt get to see plates, but think it may have been the 33 with the plates 'blk sky' or similar, know hes on here just cant remember user name.

Not sure if ya seen me give ya a quick wave as i took off

Also, not a spotted by me, but my boss at work spotted some little thugs on holidays trying to steal my valve caps and then testing my doors, he gave em a good scare, hopefully they wont come back.

Hey.. >_< Was about to say that I spotted you but I thought I should take sometime reading the thread from where I was the last time I logged in.

You were right... It was me with my BLKSKY.. My apology for not waving back as I was in a day dreaming mode! :( I would had usually initiated my greetings when I saw skyline drivers (although most of the time I got that WTF look from them) . Probably I was worrying too much about some other stuffs... ;)

Anywho, I finally got a chance to see your new set of wheels! (after reading so many threads about your wheels...) Damn...they are sexy!!! :) Bet you are happy about it!

Hey flick,

yes that was me on north east road just saying hello, the rain wasnt too good for vision though.

Was on my way down to the dyno day at fisher performance.

Lol bixby dont worry, i normally get the WTF look from other import/skyline drivers, specially when they realise its a chick driving, get a more of the WTF look then lol.

I get the occasional wave back or thumbs up. Even got the thumbs up from bunch of p plater chicks in an excel few weeks back, that was different.

Yep im more than happy with my wheels, except in the last 3 days ive seen several skylines with the same ones lol. When i saw ur car i was just like oohh skyline so raced up next to u, when i looked over i recognised u before i recognised ur car :)

Shaun, i was pretty sure it was u, My bf who was driving was just like oh 34 and i recognised it straight away.Think u live right near him aswell, surprised i havent spotted u more often up that way.

damn, havent been on for a long time. anywho, I notice that there a house near mine are owners of a couple r32's - blue, white and green one. anyone's here? oh and I spotted blksky's car in his garage next to a motobike?? I was at my brothers mates townhouse just a few houses down from yours. If it aint yours, its a clean ride none the less.

plus thru my fence at work where i park my truck up i can see a Philmac sign..........but i cant see deluxe's car :ninja:

:laughing-smiley-014: Your definatly on the right track...... Is that thier new building? which is the right hand side one or the older one on the left?? Anywho, yes i'm right there!

    • 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.
