are there many DECA's run in a year when you add up all the various car clubs? or do we have to wait for the SAU days?

There's a few other clubs running deca days, I did one with FPV/XR owners club and NDSOC in August which was pretty good. We had a whole group from aus300zx that entered that event. But I like the SAU deca days because they are run so well and there are some really good cars and drivers out there. Only bad thing is whenever I go to a SAU event I end up wanting to buy a GTR to park next to the zed. :)

Who said anything about epileptic?

It was an out of the blue seizure, no apparent reason, he has never had anything of the sort before. Was a great shock to me and the boys. Anyways hes fine now and sorry for holding up the day slightly.

So...it was a great day, had lots and lots of fun. Took my mind off the mornings happenings. Got some footage that ill organise to post up soon.

Was great to participate and to watch everyone too. Couldnt have asked for a better day.

Cheers to all of the organisers, the day went great.

Cant wait until the next one!

Had a great time, with my limited runs, thanks to all the volunteers :(

My day was cut short as i had blow-by issues. Went to a mate's house on Sunday and completed two compression tests (dry and wet) and a leak down test, all results where tops with 150psi +/-2psi (dry) and 160psi flat (wet) across all 6 cylinders. No trace of oil on the plugs, as they where very clean and dry (honestly the plugs looked like new). We found that the oil was over filled, level was 5mm above the high mark, and that the PCV valve was also blocked, which could result in excessive pressure in the head.

My night was also cut short due to having some acid reflux after Tacco Bills :).

Hope i have better luck next time!

Any vids????? :banana:

Long Wang Highlights... Just the amusing bits.

HEy guys

Firstly a MASSIVE thanks from Mick and I to all the the organisers, Volunteers and everybody who helped make the weekend another awsome event. Big thanks to Ash and Adz for feeding everyone and dealing the MASS flies around the BBQ.

Without you people the event would be nothing. We ALL owe you for your efforts

I think it was great to see more new faces this time, and hopefully they all spread the word and come back next year.

Mick and I had great time, its always good to get the car out and have a good thrashing.

And even better when we dont break anything.

Hopefully brisby will be able to make it to at least one deca next year....... That would be a film worthy battle lol.

Favourite vid seen so far would have to be " miColour smoking it.wmv " found here: Big thanks to emts !

Big thanks to everyone who took vids and pics , your efforts make the event more enjoyable for both ppl that were there and the ones that couldnt make it .

Cheers guys

See you all there next year for a bigger Deca series

Tim

Martin top vids mate, thanks for taking the time to do that :D

I agree Mav :), the exhaust just sounds to quiet for the amount of activity that's happening under the bonnet.

I was really happy with how the car performed and handled. Did all the runs in second gear and never got bogged down :P. Just need to solve the breathing issues, then all is good; already spoke to my mechanic on possible solutions.

EDIT: Sorry James, missed your vids. They look ace too!

My car was handling pretty unpredictably for unknown reasons so I was taking it pretty easy - backend of the car seemed to be doing its own thing. Had a peer under the car last night and it seems the rear sway bar I had installed a few weeks ago is missing a bolt - the thing is just hanging there!

I think I'm going to cry that I did a DECA with it like that! :D

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
