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! :blush:

Just make sure you have a good navigator!

One of my WD was because Brad yelled at me "2 CONES RIGHT!" By the time I worked out wtf it meant I'd already gone the wrong way.

navigators are next to useless on the pan.... unless you know the route off by heart your pretty much stuffed

Russ, Matt and Ryan going down to the wire in the last Deca... better make sure those cars are reliable boys! eg. don't bring a GTR in November;)

I don't think that's true, in much the same way that you have a co-pilot in jet sprints, they're only there if you NEED the direction assistance and the directions they give you need to make sense at first call :wub:

Only issue is when the Navvy 2nd guesses themselves and is being relied on :blush:

LOL yer, gotta get ya communication signals downpat before entrusting them to direct you. I reckon pointing at a cone and saying "go to the right/left of it" or "U turn around this" works pretty well, combined with you having a general idea of the map. Next DECA might try it without a navigator for the weight advantage. How'd ya new LSD go this DECA?

as a navigator, i did save a few ppl from wd but it helps when only a minor part of the layout is forgotten.

good day, interesting times. surprised to see john take the rwd mini wang record considering the huge lack of power but i guess that shows, power isn't that important.

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.

Oi!!! I liked the old one! :D

just coz I don't have a GTR to borrow...

LSD was awesome, but I don't think it really helped my times. Spent more time spinning out than going the right direction. However it was by far the most fun I've ever had at DECA.

Thanks Ryan.

Its much better to have competitors on each others asses in the championship, makes for a more exciting November event...

Just need to arrange a car to drive now...

Nah it has to be AWD.

That way I have a chance at grabbing the AWD title as well as the overall one :D

Might rip the 25 out of DFAULT, chuck it into the empty space under the bonnet in the GTR...

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
