p.s i'm glad i didn't have to beg to hard

hey man how'd your car go at winton ? i'm spent saturday doing some much needed things, i'll take it in to work shortly for a proper going over and much needed wheelie.

p.s told you i was getting the ball rollin

DECA is fun no matter what your tyres are like... or even what car you have!!

Its a great event to muck around in your car in a safe, LEGAL, environment..

and to top it off it is a great social weekend as well,

good to catch up with old mates or meet new ones!

you forgot to mention it can be bad on you head gaskets.

:)

oh and bearings, i heard that gtr off idle and saw countless people look at it, but couldn't bare myself to give the driver my 2 cents.

Heh the head gasket was my own fault for using a cheap gasket!

The Corona will be there, better than ever :)

Also to add for new comers thinking about competing

DECA is VERY easy on cars, the speeds are relatively low, and grip levels are far less than a track day.

Which over all means less stress on your car, and importantly more FUN!!!!

Thanks for the early offers of volunteering... will have a thread up soon, chasing people...

SO, make sure you all drum up some people to come along and have a look/help!!

Good to see there is so much interest, this should be good!!

Hah, well done mate, will be good to see the S13 kicking hard at the next DECA day, will you be making the SAU track day on the 18th?

Yeh Winton was good, my first time driving the car decently since I bought it 2mths ago. Only done 500 odd k's in it as I've been doing mods etc since I got it, about 100 with the new shocks and had never drifted before so it was a massive learning experience and I had a blast despite spinning out countless times.

Was a nice bonus to drive it there and home without any issues after a day of third gear clutch kicking action lol

Might skip the fun day on the 4th so I have enough time to get my GT-R seats in, brakes finished, oil cooler in and maybe a turbo - see how we go lol

sounds like lots of fun :) yeh unfortunetly my car and everthing around me was preventing me from coming to winton and i'm not happy about it. I'll be making as many appearances as i can and counting down the days to Round 3 in sheparton!

gtr seats, nice, i sold my seats last week and i'm forcing myself to buy something but i don't know what yet. how'd your clutch go the whole day ? smell much.

by august i should have my car pc installed and im hoping to do some kms, but track only car so it's a bit hard to test my equipment and car out in the meantime. c how it all go's

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
