Why on earth would you need that much power...sounds awfully close to F1 kw/kg territory

no mention on the fact the chassis was cut up and rewelded to new dimensions to pass au kit car rules.

 

or the fact I don;t think it has finished a track day without blowing something up.

have seen in the pits a few times years back and closer it gets the scarier it gets...

 

Dezz when you are installing windows 10 make sure you delete all your existing partitions on your hard drive, then create a new partition for the full size (it'll be empty) then install on that.

(Probably self explanatory & do it anyway just checking you're doing it right and not installing over the top or 'upgradeing')

It's a lot of money for an experience... And that's about it.
Again, would go for a Caterham. At least they are proper registerable and the duratec/zetec motors are known quantities with info and spares.

Probably wouldn't have done what you just said actually... Left it downloading over night and didn't check it before work this morning.. Can I still do the partition now or do I need to start again? Laptop was wiped and windows 8 reinstalled, I've only put shit like utorrent and ipvanish on it so far..

Would give a 620r a solid go.

It will wipe what ever is on the hard drive currently, so you boot from windows 10 usb stick > install windows > custom / advanced > you'll see your hard disk and it's partitions, delete them all so it's empty, unformatted, then click new > accept the default size (it'll be max hdd size > click on your new partition > install > wait 30 mins > done 

You now have fresh windows 10 install with no other crap left over from windows 8 etc. Laptop will be faster, better stronger.

There'll be a youtube video somewhere of it surely, but my instructions should be good enough

f**k lots of steps involved.. Think I just upgraded when I first went to 10.. But laptop is pretty much empty at the moment so I guess I'll do it... I think the os is automatically installed on the SSD and the sata drive is just for everything else and porn...
I'll read your instructions when I'm at home and not balancing on the edge of a switchboard.

It's pretty easy, and it's worth while doing a 'fresh' install over just an upgrade.

Yeah install OS on the SSD ofcourse, you can add/format the Sata drive in later for your porn in windows disk manager

If I do this partition shit will I still be able to install 10? Was under the impression it scanned your computer for a legit windows licence before letting you update to 10.. If I've formatted completely, won't I lose that?

    • 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
