Well the actual Banzai battle clashes with the SAV xmas BBQ so if anyone would like to come along and see drifting, see people crashing S13's or just to stress out inark. There is the practice night the night before from 5pm till dark at Calder Park, spectators are $10.

Anyone interested in Skylines should defintely come to see this baby in action (all the way from South Australia)

I take it he will also be competing on sunday, or will he only be at the saturday practice?

:)

I'll be there on the Sunday. Hope to see the R33 in those clips, ripping it up nicely.

Id like to see your Cefiro drifting around calder too, looks awesome man, too bad you have to let it go. But give us a good farewell show :) I hope it doesnt rain!

Steve.

haha shut up u.... but yeah... i wouldnt mind puting it in ken satohs hands in the next drift nats but im hoping not to have it by then unless i dont have to get rid of it.

im sure lawerance wont be partial in his judging... btw L the cheques in the mail :D

lol

well i must say i had an AWESOME time....

despite spinning god knows how many times and almost causing accidents lol

which btw im really sorry for :)

im pretty happy tho for my first time out... was having a few problems with understeer for some reason i dunno why.. also couldnt use the handbrake cause no matter how hard i yanked i couldnt get it to work properly... i would still be going at the same speed.

sorry for jetting so early but on the last few runs there were a few strange noises coming from the front of the car when steering in any direction.

was great to meet some of the guys from the forums and id like to thank everyone for all their help and pointers... especially sam (dr_drift) and (im sorry for forgetting ur name) one of the kiwi boys who was ripping it up from lap 1!

im not too sure about taking it out tomorrow morning because of the suspension prob... i tried getting back early to see if i could get around to my brother in laws workshop to get on the hoist to take a look but he wasnt there.

for those that havent been out but want to do it... DO IT... DOO ITT... do it.

    • 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
