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.

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.

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...

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      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!

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
