Well I'm back home and pretty tired after an early morning and long day.

I had a great time. My tyres are very worn though. :lol:

Thanks to the organisers for putting it together. Great day!

Good day, im glad i did the midnight run up to drop off the Lada ;)

Watching other ppl have fun comes close to having the fun yourself. The guy in the Forrester is a GUN. Ferni's thing has some real stomp now, Big Boy is in love with semis, Geoff made a beautiful choice in rubber for the day...and im sunburnt and after an all nighter Friday, i just got 13hrs sleep :D

...and sorry Greg, ill post up a pic in a minute, it seems i may have misled you with the posting pics thing :)

as usual was a great day, well organised considering the trying conditions... big thankyou to all those who helped put it on! also thanks on behalf of my other half Kalli who was helping with the timing on the skid pan... she had a fun time being so close to the action... we put on heaps of sunscreen but still got burnt... happens every freaken time!

hey Russell I think we may need to organise a group buy on tires lol!

I got these, but that was it.

Again, my compliments to all involved in organising and running. I had a great day and look forward to seeing if I was competetive.

BTW to all considering Semi's...get a second set of wheels for them and do your driving on normal street rubber. The drive home in the rain was terrifying as they hunted every high spot and kept planing on deeper puddles (RE55S TT compound). The noise is like being in a rock crusher as well and massive vibrations through the car from the grooves. Good on the track and pan though.

Another great day at DECA ............. Well done to organizers. Weather sucked a$$, but it did make it more entertaining. Back track was interesting going backwards, skidpan was fun, but not having a handbrake sucked. I will have to put in a hydraulic handbrake for the next one.

P.S. Thanks to all people who let me go for spin with them :)

Thanks for coming along guys.

Was a hoot as always, i think the officials doing instruction laps worked well for those not-so-sure about where they were going :D

Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves.

Apologies for the BBQ supply running out at one stage... ill have that sorted for next time.

And surprisingly after drinking the sheer amount i did last night, right now i feel 100% tip top ;)

Dunno if Snowy is gonna be in as good of a condition as me though... he cant handle the booze these days :lol:

:)

Just got home from Shep and I'm feeling very seedy and tired.

Thanks for a great weekend everyone.

Well done to the organisers and all the volunteers for helping out.

The weather was sooo unpredictable but at least that storm came in at the end of the day and not earlier.

Taco Bills was great, usual shinnanigans. Its all about the hats.

The award for the strongest drinking team during dinner would have to go to Snowy and James for having two 1.4 litre mageritas EACH. Thats a total of 2.8 litres of alcoholic drinks each before we even hit the nightclubs!

Outstanding Performance...

On that note I'm off to bed for an afternoon nap. My head hurts.

Post pics someone!!

You know the only reason they got another one dont ya? ;)

Cause i was 1/2 way through my 2nd and they couldnt be out done by a bloke thats a good 15kg's lighter than each of em :)

Geez - it's always about you isn't it ash? ;)

We both know you drink like a little girl ;)

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
