Thanks for showing me how to do it, it really works however i don't really agree with what you have "Oh, by the way: Primavera defines the Data Date as the first possible time that remaining work can start. The Data Date is not the date that the status was taken" because how i understand the data date is "The Date to use as the starting point for schedule calculations, and that is why we're changing the data date to the date when we want to record progress"
Again thanks.
Happy Planning to all.

What you are asking for is unusual, but very do-able using P6. Even though you are apparently having P6 only show days and not hours, that does not mean that P6 is calculating in day units. Regardless of display settings, P6 calculates everything down to the minute.
Under Edit / User Preferences / Dates tab / Time Section, click on the 12 hour or 24 hour radio buttons (and also on “Show Minutes”). Then press F9 and set the Data Date with 18:00 as the time unit. This will accomplish you goal.
