It was a top day yesterday...

I had a heap of fun for my first DECA as a driver... :D

POI's

-The corona is a BIG handfull on the skidpan... i was so out of breath after the first run i couldn't talk :D

-I need a handbrake that works when i want it to... not just when it feels like it.

-Second gear doughnuts can be hazardous to your health... the car fills with smoke :(:D

-the back tracks are really fun!

Any way thanks to all the organisers.. i know you had a tough day with not having many volunteers

One small piece of possible advice that could be maybe looked at is to start the day a little earlier maybe.

I reckon if everyone got to DECA when me and the Datto boys did... it might have gave us a few extra runs at the end of the day.

i know there was other problems through the day that slowed it down but i reckon it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Just my 2c

Other than that... top stuff... looking forward to the pics and vids...

I hope someone got a glimpse of my smoke show, but from what epople have said, no one had cameras out :down:

MaT

It would have started a little earlier, but a spectator had an epileptic siezure, so thats why there were delays in the morning.

I had an absolute blast, even though I didn't compete. Was great fun helping out as an official, and I have got some great photos of every car going through the first chicane on the long track. Just need to sift through the 1200 photos I took, for the best ones. Give me about a week :P

The night festivites were great aswell...it was a hoot.

I am aware of that, like i said... i know there was many issues involved in how delayed the day was...

but i still think the day could have started a little earlier...

Although that would mean frysie doesn't get his nice little sleep-in :P

what about RACV Khoa? they'll come out, whack in another battery, might cost $70-$100, but you could have got there pretty much at the start of proceedings?

I'm not a member,

Waiting time at such time is going to be a while, joining fees.....etc by the time it'll cost 4 times more and i'm still going to be late so it was not worth it anymore.

Had a great time, thanks to all the organisers and helpers.

My Highlights

- Tim's R32 sitting on the limiter all day

-That very smokey spin matt had in the corona

- getting very loose over the hill on the mini wang, momentarily hitting the limiter

-Perfect weather, couldn't have hoped for a better day

-Oh and sneaking ahead of a certain now high powered Sileightly on the first pass of the long wang

It was good to meet a few blokes and have a few rides in cars.

Thanks again

Was good to get back out there again, think I did better so have to put it to down to driving a vtec honda for 12mths before getting the new taxi hehe

Car is booked in for new rear tyres in the morning, they're looking rather secondhand.

Agreed.

The car was great out the back - even for street tyres

Yeah the X was farken awesome around the short wang, although I don't think you had to do much input to make it do what it did. Would take some serious effort to "run out of talent" with that thing on the road!

It is a fact that the drive home from deca is actually longer than the drive up there...

To begin with, a big thanks to all the volunteers that helped throughout the day. I dont think the back track could have pumped the cars around any faster if they tried. go double stop watches.

As for the driving side of things, i think i would have been better off parking the car after the back track. Its a fairly different car to the previous decas, its now got a bit more whore in it. its hard to say but its inability to stop locking wheels on the skid pan may have had something to do with this

it was massively obvious when i drove it off the trailer so i cant imagine not noticing it yesterday. i dont know how the hell you crack a rotor at deca anyway, they were warmed up before the back track and dont get hot anywhere else...

then there was last night.. what did we learn? well:

wearing pop button shirts is a silly idea unless you preempt every attack by ripping it open yourself. chasing kids while doing this is even better.

speeches should always be left up to the guy noone knows and wasnt at the event.

wang bangers in pints suck.

belt fights are better with sound affects.

chicken salt and dim sims dont go chris. never have 'the same' as him.

DO NOT dierespect the aboriginal cows (in the park). only disrespect the white ones or you'll have a drunk aboriginal gang to deal with.

just a couple from my phone

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
