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:

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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
