Had a great weekend,

Thanx to Paul and Scott for letting me take their cars for a lil run at the end of the day was great...

And thanx to all that took me for a spin on the skidpan as well had a blast.....

Ash that photo is going to haunt you for the rest of your life. :)

Another awesome deca! So much more fun with front tyres that grip! Yet another thanks everyone that helped out. Best deca yet, as I finally have a (tiny phone) vid of my car :)

Big thanks to James for the special commentary on the vid :)

Vid plays in quicktime

Just home. Tired.

Thanks all for a great weekend. A few little hicups - but I think overall it was an excellent event.

I have 412 photos to sort through. So... ah, don't expect them up in a hurry.

Need a zzzz...

Thanks SAU for another top weekend. Massive thanks to the officials as well who gave up there time to help us loonies have a superb time.

Good to meet a few more people inc several rex guys, AGE etc. Also Nigel and Karl from Racingline. Dezz didnt realise who you were until later this morning but definately not what I expected so good meeting you and your girlfriend. :D

Ash and Bris donig the team proud with the drinking. :)

James apologies for giving away the two sombraros to the two chicks :)

My car seems to be running OK but I kept getting flat spots on acceleration after turning so I think the fuel was moving so much in the tank it was starving it. I was running with about 5 litres at the end to try and off set my bad driving and slow car :)

Biggest improvement of the weekend as I said to Snowy was letting us drivers drive the skid pan courses in the morning untimed. Massive help and so much easier than watching Chris or Snowy do it like November. Please keep that feature if possible.

Overall a top weekend and an excellent bunch of guys and girls. Thanks SAU and Racingline.

. Dezz didnt realise who you were until later this morning but definately not what I expected so good meeting you and your girlfriend. :D

not what you expected? is that a good thing? lol

you and I raced at the lights this morning before maccas!

note: there was clearly no racing going on, as i was in an EF...i dont think we even reached the speed limit

BIG apologies to those who organised this DECA, I was unable to make it due to getting hit with one hell of a nasty flu late last week... This is the first day I have been able to get out of bed and hoof it back to my folks place to let the peoples know I won't be there... a bit too late hey! (I really need to hurry up and get the internet hooked up at my place)

anyway hope everyone had a good time and didn't break anything expensive... I am going home to bed now

What a weekend, comes and goes so damn quick!!! had a blast all day, the short tracks were awesome and the skid pan was nuts as usual!!! Thanks to everyone who made the weekend yet another success. Thanks mat for driving down for the day just to film, i will try to edit it all a bit and get it up sometime in the week. lots of good footage from what ive seen.

Cant wait to see the results & some more pics

Yes thanks all for a awesome weekend

Had a blast

Well the fun photos are up to start with

Sometimes I reckon we should confiscate your camera.......

....but then where would we get such great photochop ammunition?

There is an odd photo of Sarah inspecting some mystery persons butt! :D

I also think that Joels pictures are very good compared to the ones that James would have...

That little boy that Dane gave the hat to was the cutest kid I've ever seen. He was sooo happy to have a hat, then we went a little bit overboard by giving hats to the whole family including Grandma!!!

Priceless moment #348 - Bec saying to the grandma when she walked up to us "Granny you need a hat too" and plonking the hat onto the older ladies head. Bec's next comment after looking at how silly the family looked with the hats on was to open the Taco Bills door with one hand and yell at the top of her lungs into the restaurant "SOMEBODY GET A CAMERA OUT HERE!" hence how we got the photos of a completely random family.

Sooo funny!

Absolute top event as per usual. Was great to have some nice weather too after the last "little storm" we experienced!

The team have pretty much perfected the organisation of these things now! I was worried about the placement of the chicane on the miniwang, but it turned out to be great. Hanging the rear out of the chicane in that gravel was good fun. My driving probably haven't got any better, but that doesn't matter one bit! :D

As stupid as this may sound (to me anyway), sorry to a few people who wanted to risk their lives overturning in the boat and asked for passenger laps but um missed out (were spared???). Every time I got ready to queue up for a pan event, someone would just jump in the car and strap themselves down hehe.

Was good to meet a few more people too, now just have to work out their forum names.

Bring on the next one :)

My thanks also to the team for another fabulous event, which I am sure will be my last as I complete preparations to move to Brisbane. I only dream of emulating the success and fun of DECA in the Sunshine state for the club there if the opportunity presents.

I was fortunate enough to have Spence and our ladies along to make a full weekend of it, finishing with 600 odd bucks blown at my favourite winery on the way home.

Some memorable moment for me were the smoke following poor Sharnis car into the park, Snowies beast making another massive leap in perfomance, Ryan and Jarrod showing even more improvement in the driving department and my clutch starting to show signs of mortality.

Photos later, what a great weekend.

PS James. Golgo now has the go to go along with the sensational looks :D

Team Purple rules!!

    • 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 😡
