yeah my brother-in-law rang me earlier and said he saw that yellow R34 and an identical Nismo kitted silver R34 in the same carpark at Golden Grove tonight! Apparently that yellow R34 has a Kansai sticker on it - I didn't realise Terry brought in whole cars.

Yeah thats my bros car, his username on here is FADIE too.

Ah yep, thats the one. He must not be on here very often.

Spotted [CELTS 5] (think thats it) again on sunday, was in the noarlunga cinema carpark, was around 3.10pm, was gone by 4.40pm. Dont think the owner is on here tho. Anyone know the owner of the maroon/pinky looking R33gts-t with [HADDAD] on the plates?. Used to work in colonnades some place i think..

Haddad is a family friend of mine, think he works/worked in a phone shop down there. He used to have those plates on a vs clubby.

Yes that seems to be matty. Keeping a low profile it seems.

SPOTTED another XR6t off the road for good up @ St Agnes Bus Depot my neighbor smashed his new 2 week old Xr6t possibly drink drinking, and i can tell you no sympathy from anyone in our street

will possibly be on the news tonight as camera crews were there this morning but i heard someone had to be cut out the car also there was half the car still @ the crash site

edit

just came back from ttp and saw a nice R34 with blitz sticker on front window and couple of cars up a R32 4door then on way home a nice silver R33 @ pelican plaza lights heading to city

na sorry we dont talk to them

there first weekend in the street they partied like it was 1999 :P didnt stop all night , the next weekend i wake @ 4am sunday morning and called the police

so basically there pretty inconsiderate

i was almost gunna ask him if he had an alarm lined up for it yet when i got home from taking Jema swimming there was stones all over the road from where his mate went up his driveway and did a little burnout on the stones basically adjacent our driveway, thats when i thought not telling you about an alarm i hope someone steals it then the very night well 1:30am he drives off from out front of his house and 15 mins theres all this commotion out the fron of his house then i see that wreckage the next day

my guess is that they were driving down NE rd and hit that bend @ 120+kph lost it and sideswiped the transadelaide gate i heard someone had to be cut out the car so Chris from tyreplus says

yesterday on the way to Mildura i seen a white R33, i dunno if that was still in SA or not but yeah lol

in Mildura i seen a nice black R34, had a custom plate but i couldn't see what it was

ahh on the way back today i seen a grey/black R33

last night coming down stradbroke road past the morialta reserve, I saw a cop car, pissed myself cause I thought it was some sort of RBT/Defect station but I didnt really think so, slow down as I went passed and theres this guy lieing on the floor motionless and the cops just standing next to his car lookin at me like "oh I'll get you one day" and then as I turn right then left onto stradbroke road heading to coles I see an ambulance heading that way with no lights on. me thinks the fellow on the ground was dead. makes sense that the cops were there first.

they usually send a meat truck to someone that has died not ambulances

i will be finding out a little more information about that XR6t that crashed yesterday as one of my mates mum was Head officer @ the scene

EDIT

found this on News.com.au

Meanwhile, a 21-year-old man driving a Ford XR6 hit a Stobie pole on North East Rd, St Agnes about 1.30am yesterday.

He was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital with injuries to his head and legs.

Spotted a silver R33 S2 at the Goodwood KFC during lunch hour... He had his car parked beside mine... hehehe.. Anyone here?

Also spotted VANGE MOBILE today as he was enjoying the beautiful scene at the torrens river with someone special.... :) That probably explains why the "VANGE MOBILE SPOTTED THREAD" has been significantly reduced lately... :) lol Just kidding mate.. It's good to see ya around.

    • 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
