duncan! where r u? we just beers in motel pool waiting for you n matt!

Delayed repsonse: - Glen Innes wasnt cold beer was crap lucky for Steve and I had a bottle of Bundy fully imported from Bathurst and at -no time did we feel the cold, (there was no freight on the bottle from Glen Innes to Warwick)

For all others we got to Warwick about 10ish gave the car a tub, found the track had a look see - a cruise or 2 - had no 4wd. Sorted that (fluid level sensor) - had another cruise or 2 - or about 30 laps plus. Bugger me canvas doesn't grip very good, so the Dunlop slicks are over it, A050s are back on for the sleepover - we will see what we can do tomorrow.

Our PB today (Powerbox) was a 1.24.2 top speed 199.84km per hour -great track, all having a ball, but I think after tomorrow might have to take back, that Wakefield is the hardest track on brakes and tyres

Duncan will be 5 seconds quicker tomorrow,had the full crew put new rear swaybar bushes in tonight and without being a dobber he wasnt rushing at all LOL beer time

Cheers

lol more beer than racing I think.

news from me is the car is running great, best is about 1.24.4 so far, will try a bit harder in the morning. puts me about 4th in sports cars but considering the mods on the car I'm very happy with that.

on the down side at least 1 turbo is dead so I'll be surprised if i last the full day tomorrow.

also stu has had a bastard of a day with his fuel pump, hopefully the bits from the cordless angle grinder will see him back out there and running well tomorrow

good to catch up with scooby, harry, noddy etc too.

good vids to post including noddy's 150klm/h+ drift at the back of the new section....can't do it till i get home tho.

ryan, you are missing out. this track rocks.

sau nsw road trip for here and lakeside mid next year.

I am kicking my self that I had too miss it. Fingers crossed I will be their next year, congrats on the time bugger about the turbo. Look fwd for the vids and more times.

I have cracked a rotor, killed the front left shock and the tires are definitely past their best.

Bugger, will you be able to run on sun? What times were you doing?

what a good weekend!

was good to see and meet the QLDers!

Harry, Noel, Callum and Noddy!

To the NSW guys - Duncan, Mitch, Matt, Stuart - thanks for all your help with everything - its great to have great people in the clubs to help you all out!

I ended up with a 1.37.5, with a first time of 1.43 - so not a bad result for a first time at a new track!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
