staying away from the pole is a step forward...

the pulsar definatly has more potential if you wana push it harder

Oh definitely, it will with a manual behind it which will happen sometime next year. It didn't help that the auto was on the way out from when I started DECA that morning. The last battle finished it off. I was really slow and cautious on Long Wang for obvious reasons.

Manual + a bit more skill and hopefully I'll do better next year.

All you guys just take it too seriously.

The more mods i done to my car, the slower i got and the MORE FUN I HAD!! :D

People are wasting money buying semi slick for DECA, i just throw on the cheapest pair of tyres, on the rear, and do my best to hold a slide, when i spin (note i didn't say "if i spin" :down:) i do my best to make some smoke and put on a show :)

hehe... if my car had made it i had stockies with me for smoke+limiter fun

i can have a sook about a few things but as Al said its all fun n games.....no1 gonna win prize money, so go out there and have some fun....

on the contrary, i dont think deca could be any less serious. the competition side of things are very relaxed. to compete doesnt mean you are going for number 1 spot, its also when you are taking on cars that are similar to yours. its when you get beaten by that similar car that you try that little bit harder and learn more about you and your car the next time.

Ripped it off with your helmet? I swear until my helmet was worn in that it was going to rip my ears off every time!

Are you pulling the helmet straps out to the side as you take it off? It helps if you don't already do this. I know when I first started wearing helmets I used to just pull it off quite painfully, but tugging on the straps clears the ears pretty well!

Each to their own, some people go to DECA to get the best times they can, which is fine, some go just to rip it up and/or put on a show...

Haha - I go to get the best times I can but try to put on a show at the same time!

But mostly I go to beat Chris. :)

I'm with you Andrew...not that I've been to many DECAs at all (read: one), but when I was there I tried for best times on the skidpan (too scared to push the wangs in my daily driver lol) and I was more impressed with seeing quick runs than skidpan antics...but a combination of both is a nice mix for a day of car action.

Yep I worked that out after the first couple of times of having burning ears hehe. The helmet was still quite a firm fit at first but now it is very snug and comfortable after only the first few times I put it on and took it off.

With the insane heat we had, having a camelbak in the car made it very easy to drink with a full face helmet on; the mouthpiece can be passed up from underneath the chin.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By sonicii · Posted

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
