Need to paint the D1Rs black so no one can see them properly.
Theres that falcon on bags that was wrapped like an aqua green colour... White D1Rs spoiled it.
I also thought 18's were too small for gloria, but reducing tyre width made heaps of difference. Also good luck try to sell wheels without tyres. People too tight assed about it. Its like rego and selling cars.

True, they only Achilles but still pretty new / decent enough for now.

Dunno, some kid is keen af for the BBS's trying to get money together, maybe this will make it affordable :P 

Also birds those were Stance SC5's or what ever :P 

 

Here you go same car with your favourites

Anywho, enough ford talk, lets talk about Mohsen.

first ones i don't mind, but from the pics pretty much won't fit over the brakes.

I just tried on some of these at otr with the 9.5s on the front +30 clears brakes by a bees dick, only problem is cant get silver they can only get flat black. Still looks good though just need to decide if I want to go black again

 


These look shit house Leigh, apprentice across the road from me has them on his FG X XR6T and they look proper shit house. Don't do it!

HR rarely stuff up any annual leave / salary calculation. It's probably covered in some fine print in the contract.

I'd say the opposite, unless you work for a big corporation.

I deal with many errors on a regular basis.

Most HR or book keepers have no idea of the tax law and Fair work entitlements in regards to staff entitlements

Transaction errors perhaps but I've found contractual calculations are usually accurate to the decimal point as they had to go thru approvals/legal/payroll etc

 

It's a minor error, but it's still there...

Standard working hours at that place used to be 9-5 with a 30 min unpaid lunchbreak, so a 7.5h/day = 37.5h week. Thus 20 days of Annual Leave would accrue at  (20d x 7.5h) / 52w = 2.88h/week

When workplace agreements were the thing to do (8 years ago) they drafted one up and change it to be a 38h week and made everyone work an extra 30 minutes on Wednesday evenings.

So since that time, the hours were 38/h week, which should have accrued at (20d x 7.6h) / 52w = 2.92h/week... but just looked at the payslips and although our hours were changed to 38, it was still accruing at the 37.5 rate. (They forgot to update it in MYOB 8 years ago)

Only noticed because in July this year they changed to Xero and I just spotted that the number is different to what it normally was.

So technically, they've shortchanged everyone... only a little bit of time per week... but for someone like me who has worked there for the entire 8 year period it adds up to about $700. (There are a few other staff that it would apply to as well, some at a higher hourly rate than I was on)

Same thing with accruing Sick Leave, but thats a moot point now.

Also, I had 5.5 hours of Time in Lieu which was "earnt" by getting up at 1am a few months back and fixing a major IT crisis as it unfolded... That didn't get paid out in my final pay, not sure of the legislation around that, can't find anything in the work place agreement so it should fall back to National Standards.

Leroy how much you pay to enter?

$25 to spectate.

it sounded like it would be fun to watch. uleh's and old men getting competitive and racing each other for money. good to see some fast cars, but also cars break and maybe a punch-on. looks like its 1/8th mile (not sure if good thing?) and no timeslips, good ol' lights win.

and I think up to 200 people are allowed to spectate from the start line which is kind of cool.

You should start an office rumour about it
  • Like 1

Going to casually mention it to them if I do happen get called in over the next few weeks to help fixing their phone system which is currently broken... If I bring it up myself, I doubt I'll get called in if they think I'm just money grabbing

subtle salary suggestion there Simon

 

I assume they treated you well and leaving on good terms to not mention the variance

 

Otherwise why would you forgo the money with just a hey your calcs are wrong m8 

subtle salary suggestion there Simon



Shit you'd be doing well to calculate his salary from that info, particularly given the payrises/promotions over an 8 year period

Easy

Annual leave is paid at the current hourly rate, you dont need to know his payrate during the 8 year period only the end

Got a pic? probably cos he has the 18s and 18s look shit on falcons.. so many people do it dunno why. 

Oh and FGX looks sheit too, wait is that a white one? 
Limited to wheels now with big front brakes :(

Yes I had 100 hours TIL and got paid out at last place, you should be able to fight it but for 5.5 hours probably not worth 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 1680, 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
