Hey Bec, Just wondering what's the latest I can cancel my booking? My car is off the road at the moment and I'm not sure if I'll have it going in time.

RB25 time hey, poor engine.

lol cable tie is still holding my throttle cable in place :) hahaha im lazy as.

quality !

and i know what you mean i still have to fix my seat belts, i haven't had seats in the car to attach them for a while :)

woop woop more s13's :)

i don't know about more :) i almost had to bring my S12 when i found engine damage, but ALOT of hard work has turned that frown around.

and i cant beleive how fidley/delicate sr20's are, omg :)

I think there's a lot more to it than SR's are or are not delicate.

Like any engine, they wear out and we all know that SR's also like to throw rocker arms (at high revs) but both of those situations can be avoided by the owner easily enough. To reduce the wear and tear a good owner is going to be paying attention to oil control, quality, etc. Every engine in the world will throw a rod, spin a bearing etc with no oil, bad oil, no oil control (baffling etc if you spend a lot of time sideways blah blah)

A well kept SR can be flogged day in day out and they will hold up very well so long as a safe rev limit is observed (unless rocker arm stoppers are fitted) and oil issus are kept at bay by regular changes, oil control (where applicable) and just general common sense (so many times I've seen guys spin out at the track/on the street and keep revving the crap out of the car with no sump baffling then they wonder why the engine starved of oil and spun a bearing) A mate of mine did this exact thing to his SR not long after getting it because he wanted to go for a slide (knew it had bad oil in it) and didn't let up, a few grand later he's a bit more cautious.

I'm not one for throwing money away so I'd like to keep my little CA intact for as long as possibly while still enjoying it so some of that comes down to me and some of that comes down to how the car was treated by its previous owners.

EVENT SCHEDULE

Everyone please take the time to read over the Event Sched. as it is different to all other Decas. If you have any questions please put them up in the thread so i dont have to answer the same question 20 times.

The biggest change is the morning sessions. Instead of being in 2 different groups, all 50 cars will be divided into 3 groups and will rotate from the pan to the mini wang to the long wang. each group will start at a different event to save time.

This may or may not be a success but im sure it will help if people understand where they are going. As we have said the reason we decided to run this deca was so that we could try a couple of new things. All this will be explained at the drivers briefing also.

lol I reckon I'll be right there with ya (sliding out and going backwards that is)

It's such a fun environment though that you have a blast no matter what direction you're going in.

as for the Evo... don't like ya chances but for all I know you could be gods gift to driving and just decimate all lol

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
