Thanks for putting the results up Ryan, Well done to the winners and place getters.

Cheater Evo FTW!

Two WD's, I need to learn the maps more, that cost me an almost top three finish! :rofl:

My motorsport bug is returning... YIPPEEE!

See you at the next one!

Exactly! I WD'd hard and epic fail, but I was having too much fun to care!

Hopefully I will take it more serious in nov....but i doubt it.....who ever thought EMO's could lose the back end and flat spin :(

Thats exactly why i like stop gates...it forces people to time their braking correctly or risk hitting the cone...anyone can floor it through a flying finish...but it takes practice to stop quickly and accurately in a gate...

LOL.... Just call me 'anyone'. :rofl:

i was doing the timing on the long wang and you'd be surprised how many drivers didn't floor it through the flying finish.

looked like a lot of people were backing off over the crest and not getting back on the gas down the hill again. easy worth a second or two there.

Tim in the Micolour R32 is a prime example of someone who stays on it all the way to the finish >_<

If you haven't been to DECA a couple of times before its very intimidating flooring it over a blind hill you're not familiar with. Once you're at the top though there's no excuse not to stomp it.

Im thinking i need to read the cones a LITTLE bit better WD WD WD WD WD WD think i need a navigator... im still having fun though and thats what matters the most.

Employ a navigator for next DECA.

Navigators?? its not a 50km tarmac stage.. all the maps are rather basic.. Next deca we are doing uber mega hard maps :(

Championship has been rejigged and will be up again soon. Overall now not only combines 2WD and AWD competitors but all the point accured by each driver in any car. This sees for a much closer final round.

That may be true, but that doesn't stop people from getting WDs as many have! Actually this DECA was pretty good in terms of map ease, Charles didn't have to help much but it was nice to confirm I was doing the directions right. Look forward to some complex ones next time, will make the navigator more useful! :wub:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
