see your pm for full detials

Are spoilers classed as structural? and what about clearance from the top of the tyre to the body? If any one can clarify this it would be much appreciated as there is a LOT of uncertainty with measurements and clearance heights!

daniel

there are 2 measurements that are commonly used, ground clearance and centre of axel to wheel arch.

1) the car must be 100mm off the ground from any structural point, bodykits are not structural. normally the lowest point is the chassis rail.

2) there is a certain distance that needs to be met on every car from the centre of the axel to the wheel arch. on R32's (when i had to go thru compliancing) it is 350mm. this varies from car to car and is about 10-20mm lower than the std height.

when going over the pits it depends alot on the overall presentation of the car, if it is a fairly tidy looking and 'tastefully' modified car then you can normally slide through. They tend to pick on riced up cars which are rediculously low or loud...

Radtech?? ahh maybe im just gettin old

haha.. my friends made it up when were skating at the leederville skatepark about 8 months ago. my mate skated around it a motorbike jacket and helmet looking totally homo.. we all laughed and someone called him radtech. if u r REALLY radtech.. then you;re radtech invincible.. haha.. sounds pretty silly.. but it has too many memories.

then last week.. my little brothers friends have this tv show on channel 31, mondays at 7.30pm called EXTREME WA... and they said radtech about 8 times.. we;re all trying to make radtech a new 'cool' word.. haha.. we do some pretty crazy things.. hehe..

Well hopefully they look upon my car favourably :P

I really can't be bothered with those sorta hassles.

It's only really got an exhaust and it's not loud at all so I should be ok. Doesn't even have a pod filter :D

Tomorrow morning will tell hehe :P

Cheers for the kind words Justino :D

    • 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
