Morons. Maybe one day they will realise that there UHH OMG I HATE SKYLINES theory is a crock of shit with no hard ground to stand on.

That said, there are people out there who think the opposite. Poeple who hate HSVs are morons too.. there fugly cars, but you cant disagree with a 280kw v8.

way back from the cruise today we had a bogan in a falcon do the wanker sign at 3 beautiful 33s and one very nice 32.... he was jealous :)

that's all it eva is... jealousy...i had a guy in a crappy old celica ask me 'what the f**k me and my friend were looking at while we were at the lights even though both of us were looking forwards lol...he then tried to throw an empty can of beer at my car but missed...i wud've gone after him and educated him a lil but his car was full of 4 other angry drunk guy covered in tatts so i decided to jsut leave it.

if they weren't jealous they wudn't have blinked twice at our cars

yeh good call, if no damage or when cars are involved might as well take their shit and let the faggets show how small their penises are... if they picked on you on the street or touched ur GF then thats another story. and an empty beer can? might as well continue to "belt" you with harsh language :lol:

even if the can did hit my car, i wouldnt dare get out and teach them a lesson unless i had 3 friend cars behind me.

its sometimes better to take the shit and leave it at that. but if it was serious, thats a different issue.

hahaha

my housemate owns a 180 in the process of being fixed up. We've just finished upgrading the engine with turbo, fuel and exhaust mods and it now pulls about 260kw.

Its still got 4 diff colours of black on it and the roof is primer grey.

Anyway, this dude in a Commodore ute pulled up to him yesterday, took one look at his car (complete with NU66ET plates) and started revving his engine like a smart arse.

lol, he had him in 1st gear!

When this dude finally caught him, he just gave him this weird disgusted look and drove off in another direction.

I had the pleasure of going to a wedding and sitting next to a bogan.

I asked me if i was into cars and i said yes, So he starts telling me about His series II EB model Falcondore.

He said those "skyliners" are jap crap and he has never been beaten by one, The japs just copy aussie cars and do a bad job of it. and get this....

Nissan stole the design of the VL engine and put it onto their "skyliner" I didn't say a word...

You can take a man out of boganville, but you can't the bogan out of a man...

lol. i hate being around people that talk about stuff and have no idea....not just cars in general, but motorsport etc for example...i just wanna pipe up and set them straight when i know how something really is, but you just gotta leave them be lol

that said, i cant wait to get my skyline so i too can cop abuse. lol

i hate people that dribble absolute shit about cars like they kow what there talking about and you sit there listening thinking WTF not one thing they said is true....that realy shits me....that said i would defiantly take to physicall abuse if anyone did ANYTHING at all to my Skyline......there preciouse and cant afford to be F*&%ed with by loser Bogans..

It happens to anyone with a nice car.

My freind has a current model M3 and about 2 years ago just after he bought it he got some waste of a human life scratch the word "SHIT" into the paint of his front bumper.

he is very well off so the money didn't really bother him but the fact that someone defaced his property really annoyed him.

sum bogan keyed my chaser and i had to get half the car resprayed because its black with a green paint flec. i think the guy in the commodore was pissed off coz i whooped him until the speed limit and was pissed when he said it was coz its turbo and i said it wasnt turbo its only a 3lt straight 6.

my 1990 TX5 got absolutely gutted down an entire side with a key...and its only a 1990 TX5. the paint was in awesome condition, and the car did look good, but its hardly an expensive car...

can happen to anyone in anything

that really scares me at times, just so paranoid going shopping or even leaving the car knowing some lowlife could easily just go cause u massive amounts of damage just by scratching the paint.

Respect other peoples property, we all work hard for what we have, its like, u have a nice house, ill constantly smash your windows.

Well thats the thing, actually who knows who keyd his car, it could of been some dick who hated him not cos of the car... try and be friendly and not a dickhead, especially in your neighbourhood (ie no burnouts or even slight speeding in your suburb).

As for the shops, if I get this R34 I believe the last thing Im gonna do in it is go shopping at some big ass car park... Ill try do all the shopping in another car or park the car sensibly etc.

and no racing stickers or custom plates. those minor non functional assessories just attracts attention.

has any1 actually caught a guy keying their car ? if u did, what was your response ? i know half of you would say, yeh, i stabbed and bashed the fark outta him, locked him in my boot and took him out to the bushes and left him there. but honestly, if u did hurt them in some way, would u get locked up ?

sometimes u cannot control yourself and end up doing regretful things.

This is not really related to scratching an import but a mate of mine parked his car once in this car park on Fitzroy St and when he came back he sees this dickhead trying to open his boot, my mate comes up and goes "Hi buddy, what you doing?" "This is my car". The c**t is like "ehhh... oops..." ran off lol

    • 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 1680, 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
