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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
