the cops are fine, as long as ur going the speed limit.

I was driving up there with my gf the other month, going through the "windy" bits inbetween newport there was a porche behind me and soemthing else becide that, i was gonig the speed limit cause i knew there would be cops there, when we got out of the windy bits the car behind the porshe just took off, was a r32 gtst, lowered chromies.......and zorst. bout 400m up the street tthere was an rbt there, so the 32, 33 and a porshe boxter all pulled into the rbt. The cops would have been thinking this was the catch of the night, i was going to ask i i could jump out and take a photo, *** it would be funny.

The cops rbted the 32 and looked round the car, checked his licence and rego, and off he went... he came up to me and said the norm "have u had nething to drink" etc. he said count from 1-10 so i started going 11, 12, 13, 14, and then get a bit of a hit in my gut from my gf, before i relised what i was doing. and procerd counting 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.

and he just told me to have a nice night.

If ur going the speed limit and not doing anything crazy the cops seem to be cool but it all... untill i pulled out my flamethrower and torched the mother****ers... but my 33 was too quick for them to catch me. then i woke up.

Aplex.. I dont mean to shite on your parade.. But be carefull with the cops. To say they are fine unless your speeding is not accurate. The palm beach locals are really anti cruises these days. As soon as they hear 1 loud exhaust they hit auto-dial and call in the cops. If your lucky normal cops rock up and they are awesome (edit: okay.. most of them are okay. Some of them are ego maniacs). They will just tell you to move on and thats that.

Most of us have been cruising up to palm beach for years. The cops have even put notes on the number plates of my car and a few others saying that we dont get up to any trouble.

I am just trying to stress the importance that those going to Palm Beach really behave, otherwise the cops will come down really hard on you all. Since I dont know you guys I will prolly give it a miss.

p.s.. Your car is stock (I saw in the dyno thread) so you can get away with more. hehe

Go the stockie !!!

I dislike the authorities as much as the next guy, got a $100 fine for doing an illeagel U-turn at 1:00 at night in berowa (not a car insight, becides the ones that were on the cruise. and the ***ker gave me a fine...ass

But i find that if cops arent lookingfor you and ur not doing anything wrong, they leave u alone. I have never been randomly pulled over, only for rbts and stuff...

but then again the car is a stocker. But then again again i ad a really loud subi liberty gx lowered, zorst, rims etc etc. and never got pulled over in that either.

wait till DJ approves, its his cruise, he started it.  

;)

If we all know thornleigh maccas and only some of us know waitara, why dont we all meet at thornleigh?  I was driving past waitara maccas, and the car park is tiny, i dont think we would be able to fit everyone in there...

thoughts?

There'll be plenty of room for us there at waitara, I've already changed location once i'm not gonna change it again. as i said before, there was a thread for discussion before i opened this one ;)

so location will still be waitara maccas it's on the pacific hwy just out of hornsby...

If people want to meet up at thornleigh and head ove to waitara together go for it :rofl:

hey guys what time do you think you will be going past the intersection of monavale road and forest way

No idea man, but if your there say 15mins after the schedled dat tme and wait for us ya should be fine... :)

I can't get on the net much at the moment so i'll update as often as i can... but i won't be changing locations etc...

;)

Dave.

RSTME: hey mate i am meeting up wit GTRFAN on windsor rd , near Ettamoga pub . then heading out to Waitara as He knows how to get there , im assuming we are goin along the M2 and off towards Pacific HWY . If u can come to the Maccaz near the Ettamoga pub on Windsor rd that would help us a bit of backtrackin. If u cant just msg me or post up wat u can do . Was only Suggesting that meetup if i could find more peeps from out west to plug along with , but it seems ur the only one atm . Just grab my mobile number if u need it , its a temp one so i can handle posting it here :) 0404389325 Buzz me on Friday or whenever and can talk bout it

ive got the "jap spec" AM/FM (shitty tape) tuner, that has freq. that go from 76.0-90Mhz the only good station i can get is 88.1 FM and the tape is ***ed, something to do with the difference in ozzie and jap tapes ?

i think if u have a CD player in the car ur doing prelly well....DAM U!!!!!!

    • 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
    • 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 1780, 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.
