can i enter in my n/a or will i look stupid?

Do it! You'll have so much fun.

The skidpan is concrete and you're not allowed to sit there doing a static burnout, so I think your tyres should live :)

haha ok im in then :) quick question how much abuse do the tyres take? will i need to bring 2 spare?

well if you plan on doing this:

yes

that said I looped it a few times at last deca and had some fun and you could not tell there was any extra wear on the tyres.

the skid pan is quite low grip so very difficult to damage your rubber.

A quick run down of the DECA weekend.

FRIDAY

Most people head up on Friday/Friday night at there own pace and time depending on when they can leave.

And there is a small group that wait till saturday morning and leave real early.

The people that go up on Friday have more time to play around with there cars if needed and can enjoy a couple

of beers and a chat with others and is a great way to meet people you may only know as users of the forum.

This time around Bec has arranged for us to stay at the Victoria Lakes Caravan Park. We have stayed there in the

past and i can remember when the lake had water in it. Now its a dry.. But you do need to ring and arrange your own cabin.

DECA..Accommodation...CLICK HERE..

SATURDAY

We get up and head to the Mc Donalds for some food then head out to DECA 5 min out of Shep. Gettig there around 8

WE do DECA bla bla bla and finish up around 4 ish i think.. Then we all HELP pack up... :O We really like people that help out.

Then we head back to the caravan park and knock back 2 or 3 beers before we head out to tea and have a look at the

Shep night life... :):):D:D:D Heading back to the park at what ever time.

SUNDAY

Head home....

sweet thanks, better take some stockys incase i get carried away :)

Yeah smart idea. I had to replace some tyres at the beaurepairs in shepo, lets just say it wasnt cost effective and i regret not bringing spares ;)

Less than 20 spots left.

Please make sure you have signed and sent your disclaimer also.

Faxed this arvo,

Maybe this will be my Deca debut with a handbrake? :D

Could be Sileighty devastating or could just be embarrassing when I loop it a thousand times.

hahaha sweet that should be funny....

hopefully i should be able to get mine sorted also....

looking forward to it... it should be a good day...

Good stuff rob, i was just going to facebook you and ask if you were competing again

What are you doing to your handbrake? tightening?

Ive got a pretty big list too, least its over a month away.

#1 - Get rid of this single spinning junker

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
