Hrms roads are damp tonight, 300kW feels like 90kW because the car doesn't move when the wheels turn LOL

put her in 3rd and smoke them hehe!! arrr de de de de!!! don't hit a pole though or you'll look like a loser with a tow truck in the morning lol Edited by AngryRB

a V8 is perfect for street :)

I've driven a few V8s and absolutely love the power/flat torque.. although the noise sounds abit shit.. (minus euro V8s, they somehow sound farking tits)

This is perfect for street!

(and you can even get grip in auto's 1st! - which is somewhere between 1st and 2nd)

FWIW, I wrote this car off due to driving entirely off boost, entirely off throttle, making about 3rwkw.

You can drive anything on the street.

It's the driver, not the car people.

Yes I'd like to know the Neo set up too .

I'm not sure if there is a perfect RB25 setup , an RB30 in a lesser state of tune ie same 260 odd RWKW must be real flat and almost V8 like .

Actually thinking about it Mr Mafia always reckoned his power delivery was almost V8 like and his R33 RB25 had a 0.63 GT3076R on it .

After owning and driving many different cars id say every car has its pluses and minuses, i know the rwd skyline isnt the fastest, but its about what makes you happy.

Power level, whatever brings a smile to your face... And you can control the power with your left foot anyways.

Drive what makes you happy, im just under 300kw, would i like more sure, is my skyline a good daily, no. Its just my fun car, it can still scare me and thats what i like.

So 300kw on the street is fine, more would be fine in my fun car, but as a daily i would want easy driving in traffic and eaay to get in and out of, easy to park and not worried to park it anywhere.

Would i like a nice custom built 400kw daily sure, but being a bit meticulous id be always servicing it and worried about the depreciation of high ks...

For a daily get something easy and economical for your budget... Fun car can be any power level and any type of car...

    • 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
