deca_june_2010%20339.jpg

it does sound a lil different

said it before but i'll say it again... what an event!

the skidan layout was just awesome fun this time!

wasnt this one but it did sound ace though.

was good meeting ya Josh.

lol bet you were wishing that i was driving in front of you again to warm you up with the sparks from my car lol

Ryan - No such luck on the Gromet.That would be too easy. Got a heap of old towels out and did a sponge and squeeze job for an hour this morning!

Ash - Where were you when I needed you!? haha

Thanks all for making the day possible, was definitely one of the most fun DECA's I've done!

There was a really nice variety of cars there this time too which always makes things more interesting.

Great photo albums too guys! :blink:

Thankyou to everyone who helped out officiating through out the day. Anna, Tim, Campbell, Bec, Martin, Ben, Mat, Tony, Rusty G and Rusty C, Mick, halle and i think there were a couple of other vest wearers but brain is still a bit busted... Also, with the guys from the normal committee helping out the motorsport committee the day ran even smoother. Thanks guys. And to everyone who helped clear the skid pan at the end of the day, that was a great help!

Next deca we will double our scrutineers so we can pump people through and get out on track on time. It would help if people turn up on time also :blink: We also need more people to bring helpers with them. we didnt have enough people until the very last minute.

Results will be done tommorow night and posted wednesday. Should be interesting as there were a lot of hit cones and mistakes made by nearly everyone.

atleast you didnt hit a cone, drive over it and carry it around the whole freakin track with ya while going the wrong way :blink: lol

Hey all! Another awesome event!

Well done to the organisers and officials once again. Top stuff!

I didn't have the best day in the Rx7. Had the cooler pipe come off twice in the morning (never happened before in the two years I've been running the car) not that it would've mattered much on the skidpan courses! And later in the day the oil drain off the turbo began to weep oil onto the manifold causing smoke where its not meant to be haha! Had a few drips on the trailer when I unloaded this morning so nothing to bad but a nuiscance nontheless! To those saying I need an lsd...I've got one, it's just worn out haha! Rebuild time for the diff...one day!

Even with my setbacks it was still a blast! And I still managed to get spastic drunk! Good times indeed!

You weren't the only one! There was a table full of SAU members and then right beside it there was another table with you sitting alone, holding a beer and staring into nothing. We had some good talks, those that I can remember anyway.

Nup just you.....

Hahahaha! Yep when I get to that state I'm ready for bed!!! I am really struggling to remember the details of the night!!! Like I said, good times!

What an awesome DECA. Best so far I think and all the others have been great.

Been way under the pump since getting back but still feel the buzz.

Major kudos to the organisers and volunteers who did/always do an awesome job.

Great to see lots of excellent driving and the variety of different cars.

Bummer about the rain coming back and felt for the elfin owner but good on Shep for the "no rain ever" status.

Really looking forward to the next DECA which the EVO will be back up for. Hope I can do as well as in the Lancer but doubt it. Sob for downgrading from FWD to only AWD. :domokun:

Great to see everyone again as well and cheers to all.

wow lot's of wd's ? now i'm very happy i learnt the layouts.

i had to replace vince's drain pipe in the gunmetal grey M spec R32 the night before deca because it was more then a little leak on thursday night :domokun: it wasn't a nice surprise at 9pm.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
