I can tell you now that when I build my new shed there will be no skids inside it lol

Now... what should I use to coat the floor... 

How are you going to get the efames? 

I've used the rustoleum coating in parts of the shed, seems to be holding up alright.

Is that an epoxy thing? Epoxy looksl ike hard work to do well.

Last shed I just used a basic concrete sealer with a cerramic grit in it, that was "ok". 

 

yeah epoxy, like anything its all in the prep. Biggest issue I had was the humidty that day stupid high and it dried quicker than I expected. 
Prep was remove paint & grease, Citris scrub, water wash, etch, dry over night then coat. I haven't driven on it as other friends have had issues with it peeling parking car son it.

Yeah I'm not doing 140sq m of that...

Car moved under its power back to the big shed. Very happy with the wheels on it finally but will need to get 235/245 for the fronts.

With the sil80 now moved its allowed the 370 to be parked in the garage. Freshly ceramic coated and tint, still no plans to mod it

Scrolled back and had a man look and couldn't see it..... did you repaint the wheels? if yes where did you get new RAYS stickers, and are they good quality? I just repainted my TE37 and need new stickers

I bought the wheels new when Import Monster got the last run of them.  They can source stickers & centre caps

The Nismo Ed. front bar looks sick! 

the whole kit is so much better than standard, it has confused a few people thinking its a gtr ?

Just without the box issues and weight 0_0

Yet I still want one for no good reason at all.

If it wasn't for the bland/old looking center console I would have a 2011-2014 one. The facelift 2017+ interior is so much better

I'm talking R35s, are you? 

Yep, have a look at the interior differences. When you spend 90% of the time driving a car the interior has to nice especially when spending over 100k

    • 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
