I will be there if it kills me. I"ve bought another 32 gtr thats going into the panel beaters next week to have the firewall straightend out but apart from that there isn't any other damage so I'll take all the stuff out of the stacked car and put it into this one so hopefully i can have one good car. As a bonus this car already registered. All i'm in need of now are some semi comps in 255ish by 17, some whiteline swaybars and maybe a gearbox with good synchros to finish it off.

Who's up for helping with engine swap in a couple weeks? It'll be fun!

I just hope the walls don't get in the way of my over enthusiastic driving this time.

West could you pm me the link to the tyres if your not getting them providing they haven't gone off/hard. I had falken st115's on the front of my gtst and they seem to hold up fairly well to some abuse.The drift night killed them thou. But that was after a year and a half and three track days and two drift nights. About 30000k I got out of them and they still have tread there just really scrubbed.

I could lend a hand, let us know.

1.33 on semi comps with suspension. What's wrong, no ticker? I did very low 1.31 on standard rubber with crap stock lowered suspension. Woulda had a 1:30 if the idiot in the TVR had got his POS out of the way.

Gareth, I'll try to help as well but have to get the RB26 into the GTSt sometime soon.

Well if anyone needs 2 x 235/45/17 RE55s (12 laps old around Sandown) then i may be able to help out. They are the fronts off my car that rub due to the wrong size tyre being fitted. I have to see if firmer springs will fix it up, but if not then i will need to get rid of them.

Gareth, good to see your getting close...

No entry names usually don't go up for a week or so before the event.

Apparently so far only 10 people have entered or something - but there will be a rush in the last 2 weeks.

Whats you question on driver training??

My mate HLT4EVA is entering for driver training, i've just faxed his form away. We just wondering how many session with the driver training does he get? Will he get to run with us in the sprint or he's only allow to run when a designate trainer next to him?...ect..

Thanks

The driver trainers will not be timed either , however if the instructor believes he is capable by himself he can be slotted into a "timed" session if he wishes.

    • 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
