Hi All,

It's that time again for SAU VIC's DECA Motorkhana fun day.

This will be held at the lovely DECA facility in Shepparton VIC.

There will be our usual convoy cruises for both the Friday night crew and early Saturday morning. Of course you can travel in your own time accordingly but it is much easier in a group, and more fun. Previously we were meeting at McMobil on the Hume Hwy but now that the bypass is open it may be more convinient for others so we are all meeting there.

Meeting point address

Shell Roadhouse

Hume Hwy

Donnybrook VIC 3064

Melway 365 C5

DECA Address

145 Wanganui Rd Shepparton

There will be two official convoy's heading up to DECA next weekend.

Friday 24th February - Night convoy

Meet at Shell Service Station, Hume Hwy, Donnybrook - Depart 8:30pm. Paulr33 + Jamezilla to lead the Convoy.

Saturday 25th February - Morning convoy

Meet at Shell Service Station, Hume Hwy, Donnybrook - Depart 5:30am. BassJunky to lead the Convoy.

Some important notes;

  1. Please bring CB radio's to assist in communication during the convoy
  2. This is open to non members if you wish to come up and spectate
  3. We have a wide range of cars running on the day from full race spec cars to daily streeters

The new bypass is excellent and saved us a lot of time on the return trip (didnt use it on the way up). Came back along it when coming back from Hotham 3 weeks back. There are speed cameras on it not that anyone would need to know :) Gutted I am missing this one but roll on May B)

speed cameras? Any between cooper st and the ring road? I use that section almost every week at velocities that needn't be mentioned.

I believe I saw one in that section the only time I've used the bypass so far, in the median area I believe

Inbound, on the bypass, theres a speed camera after every single bridge, they're very obvious though. But my being half asleep at 3am, I almost got caught

are they operational yet? the bypass hasn't been open all that long

I'm not sure...

I was going at 110 through there, after being on the hume at 110, and only saw the camera at the last minute, I braked and I haven't recieved a fine yet, so either they're not functional or I slowed down enough not to get caught...

They're infra-red ones though, because when you drive past them, at the right angle, you can see a weird beam of light. So they have to be working...

so all the new cameras on the westgate fwy etc, and towards geelong, are they point to point or just regular speed cameras?

off topic yes, but you guys were onto this topic already, and I MIGHT come up on saturday for a look, if so, ill be at the shell at 5am for the convoy.

Yep thats them, very obvious. On the poles next to the road not hanging from bridges etc.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
