My results are crap but I still had a tops time!! Next time I may give it a real go at placing rather than just hammering around...

The runs I saw you do looked pretty good. I thought your car would have handled worse and had more lag than it did.

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

On the backtrack they were ok, a bit better than streets, just couldnt get temp into them. on the skid pad they stuck to the shinny surface so much i couldnt use my handbrake, hence i took the rears off... Verdict: never again! its also a pain in the ass changing tyres in the morning and after!.

I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

i had an average day, rushed to get all my skid pan runs in after we fixed the pedal and stuffed some of them up. i was stoked to get back out there, thought id be organising a trailer home.. but well done to all the rwd guys, right up there amoungst all the cheater cars and GTR's!

Bring on the next DECA!!

For what it is worth the federals on James EVO were great. I think for people wanting a good tyre without getting full semi-comp either those Federal 595RS or the Azien RT615's are perfect as at DECA I don't think there is any real advantage of a full semi over them (except maybe 1s on the back track) and they will last a lot longer.

well i headed to shep at midnite on sat nite.. got there n brisby had spent $400 on strippers... chris left rawhide n we stumbled upon him waiting in the kfc drivethrough where we had a lil tool wanting to take everyone on.

i left shep at 4.30 n i think bris was still at the strippers (would have stopped but cbf paying another $12 just to c him sitting there)

n i hear shan had an accident with a gate. as paul would say "got gate?"

lol, those lil fags were good value but. "we'll fight anyone we see ay bro" .... dezz gets out... yip. that sure changed. lol....

Was one of the best ones I've competed in yet...I missed out last feb, so was my first time doing those particular events, and they were a lot of fun :)

hehe, a few runs in particular were pretty good fun lol

lol u looked maggoted chris

possibly coz he was... lol

Pretty happy with my effort...only 2 penalties all day and they were both on the battle course that I got completely wrong :O

the burnouts at the top of the course made up for my complete lack of navigation though. haha.

lol..I sucked as always :laugh:

I give up on these weekends, they just leave me broke with a car with no tyres :laugh:

If anyone is interested in getting some very cheap second hand street tyres (235/45/17) after ripping theirs up on the weekend let me know via PM, not here. I can get get some very good (80-90%) dunlop SP3000's for $60 each for SAU Vic people.

LOL my crapbox was using nearly 2yo SP3000's, hate them even more than the SP9000's I had on the other taxi. I reckon the worst semi-comps would be quieter than these things dunlop calls tyres!

Got not issues with tearing them up tho :laugh:

So they're noisy, but do they grip? I thought they must be ok if ford is putting them on new cars.

Im sure you can do better, on the other car it was cheaper for the dealer to replace the 9000's with bridgestone S03's which were 10x better. Then again, Ford does try to pass of the cars it fits them to as "sporty" hehe

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
