Hey all,

Not to sound like a complete noob when i ask this but there are some things that i have been reading in the forums that i don't quite understand. please correct me if i have posted in the wrong forum for this, and the reason im posting in Vic thread, is because il hopefully be joining the club when i get my skyline in melbourne.

the things i dont understand are "DECA", i read this word when i was reading the list of events.

thanks all,

Ozziefly

Kyle

DECA = Driver Education Centre of Australia

http://www.deca.com.au/FacilitiesShepparton.aspx

"DECA Day" etc refers to the DECA facility in Shepparton that we use quite regularly to have motorkhana and drift training events at.

Nah, im basically city.

I just spent a lot of time down there years ago as my best mate is in the Navy

Its bad enough by my standards put it that way... well, its ok for a while :P

You Navy/Army or AF?

If your coming from somewhere remotely warm, make sure you bring jackets, its filthy down there 3/4 the year being where it is.

But when you go to western port its even worse :)

what il do is, come to a meet and get my membership sorted, get some peeps to look at my car and just intro myself to the crew, if thats ok?

mate you are more than welcome to a meet. the thing is tho most of the smaller ones are not organised by SAUVic but just some of the guys off the forum. fun stuff but im afraid we cant help you with membership. however come to one of the monthly meetings (second tuesday of each month i think) committee members should be there and you'll be able to sign up. or else just do it online like ash sed.

    • I had a 1981 ALFA with an electronic speedo sender that would work for months at a time, and also noth work for months at a time.
    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • 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.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • 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.
