Hiya Guys and Girls,

My names Sharni, i've never actually had a chance to formaly introduce myself. I've been to a couple of events but never realy stayed to chat, but you cant miss me cause i dirve the yellow 180sx =)

Anyway, just wanted to know by any chance does anybody know someone that has a stock CA air box lying around cause i just got epa'd (DAMN IT!) and desperatly need to borrow it at some stage in June?

AND....I'll be at DECA next week, does anyone have any recommendations for some quick mods before i thrash the poor thing on the track next week. Oh and a REALY blonde question and because i cant be bothered googling it but, what will we be doing on the day, i've never done this motorkhana stuff before???? (guess i shouldv'e checked that before i signed up huh? =)

CA airbox - cant help

Quick mods i guess... nothing IMO

Leave the car as if, you probably more used to driving it how it currently is, why change the balance?

As for the motorkhana... itself.

Have a look here:

There are a few video attachments in the thread from the FEB DECA Day that you can download to give you an idea of the day.

Im just the BBQ man and i have the time of my life... driving would be almost as fun i reckon :)

cheers

im with ash, dont change anything. the day is more focused on driver skill and how the car handles, as apposed to outright power. just keep the car how you are used to it on the street and you should do fine. there are a few girls entering so it should be a good competition. sarah is driving my car so no doubt she will beat me, as she can follow instructions.

you basically loose points for hitting cones and making mistakes. if you do the runs without making mistakes and missing cones then you;ll be fine, as a lot of guys (including me) try and go flat out and make too many mistakes. there are big penalties for mistakes

Quick mod? Don't. Just make sure you have enough oil, check brake fluid, coolant......is quick mod :D. I've seen your car at heathcote.

Hey, welcome.

Can't help you with the airbox sorry, I sold mine about 6 months ago

I still have heaps of other random parts lying around if you need though.

As for mods, what West said, just some general maintenence stuff to make sure the car doesnt die on the day.

S13's are great handling cars anyway, and thats more what the day is about, driver skill and handling.

There isn't enough room for power.

If you did want to do some quick things, front/rear strut braces I guess, and maybe a new set of tyres..?

It doesn't matter if you don't have any mods anyway, the aim of the day is to have fun, and there isn't any way you can't have fun at DECA.

Hi Sharni and welcome. First good step, having a go. The rest is just for the fun of it. In fact this time I'm just going to try to slide as much as possible.

Starting Rain Dance for more sliding goodness.

Sharni - as discussed, you will have an ace weekend at DECA.

The driving part is all about getting out there and having fun, but I guarentee you'll have more fun socialising on the Saturday night than you will driving during the day!!! :nyaanyaa:

See you up there,

:fakenopic:

Thats a big statement from someone who has never done the driving before Bec! :nyaanyaa:

For me whilst the nights are fun the driving is more fun. It's great to be able to legally have some fun in your car and in Vic there's no where better for it than DECA. Especially our event designs!

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
