Can't even get decent slides going on the skidpan when it's wet :P

Anyone got that video of the white 180 trying its heart out in the wet?

is that the one on youtube ?

i'm not sure if i'm happy or sad with this forecast, i did want to smoke some tyres tho

Awww yeah I'm in :P

good work dan, if you decide to do your pads Sat morning b4 deca scruitineering, i'll have tools and be able to help. i'll b there when the gates open, and i won't be loading and unloading my silvia so i'll have more time.

Hmmm I think it's the one phunky posted, in which case it's actually silver lol...and he did manage some decent slides in the wet. I'm 50/50 bout forecast...dry is good but I ain't had a wet deca before, first for everything :)

It's actually champagne, third time lucky!

If its wet I'm using the Touareg!

Now that would be a sight! Would sound pretty cool out there I imagine...

white, silver, champagne, it's all the same after a night out at shep.

nice photo oportunity i think :(

If its wet....Touareg = traction = win!!!

so you went from pissed off it's going to rain and dont want cars rolled, to happy happy joy joy snowman is going to kick some ass.

are you a diabetic ? or other ? :blink:

p.s people the speedo check on the freeway is buggered leaving melb, there'e one camera i think it was after wallan, and there are quite a few clouds up here in shep, black clouds, and it's already chily. and the forecast i saw was cloudy about 7 degress in the morning and a chance of rain.

dry so far. d.

Wet Decas suck...the last time i was there and it was wet the skidpan was pointless and a mate rolled his car on the back track...really hope it stays dry....

i heard about that from a 300 zx driver (gerrerd ?) when getting my car tuned at trents it was at the subaru deca day?

Thanks to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers again for a great day up there in Shepparton once again.

No rain and although cold for those standing outside all day (thanks guys) pretty nice for the middle of winter.

Thought the back to back runs in the afternoon because of the wet skidpan was a fantactic idea that maybe could be adopted for the future as well. It was better to get two runs at the same time rather than lining up again.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
