Yeh it was going nuts beforre he came around the corner, and I didnt even confirm it was a cop till it was very close. That thing has saved my ass sooo many times, and for $100 it was a bargain!.

what an awsome cruise. i haven't had the net for a while now, hence why i haven't posted anything. im at a mates place.

first id like to say cheers to everyone who actually stopped this time and helped me. I got home all right, just had to lay off the throttle. Wheres kym. Does he have any photos posted yet.

Anyways, cheers to joe for oranizing such a good cruise. And cheers to paul for driving back at a medium pace for me. Cheers to macka for putting finger prints all over my spoiler.

Yep good cruz Joe, dam good idea good to see every1 else there too. Sorry i had to leave early, i had 3 places to be on Sat and i was late for evey 1 of em :rolleyes:

The drive back solo was good though no ppl in front to slow mw down :uh-huh:

Bully,

We were going to stop in at KFC, but seeing as Hicks was tailing me, incase he brokedown again, we decided to keep on going.

Hicks,

If no-one had stopped this time then you would have really thought that no-one likes you, we just keep you around for the comic relief:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

Bugger I'm sorry I missed that one but two days work is two days pay.

Glad to hear everyone had a good time and great to see more families involved. At this rate the missus might even come along.

She thought it was just a bunch of feral nutters

*thinks, it IS a bunch of feral nutters *

Also good to see Paul is useful at more than being a whore and a fairy.lol:D

Cheers

Ken

    • 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
