Also someone left their pillow at the hotel; we were the last one to leave and the owners asked us if we wanted to claim it. If it's yours I think they binned it as it looked quite crusty.

I took heaps of photos but many didn't turn out that well; still learning to use this new camera and I definitely need a longer lens for the skidpan:

Keen to see photos from others, perhaps if you got some of mine (blue Liberty) in action I'd love a new desktop background :)

Need. Sleep. But before then, thankyou to all involved who made this event happen.

Good weekend.... thanks to the organisers...and sorry to see the tangled GTR. Good to hear on Saturday night you were both ok..

I have decided I am going to put an even bigger brake setup on the rear and leave the fronts standard...makes the car so much fun to drive :)

Speaking of rides, huge thanks to Russ, Mat, Snowman (white 34R?) and Adz (silver evo 4?) for taking me in a blast around the 'pan.

This silver EVO - whoah, that is some ride!

had an awesome day as always!

organisation was top notch and is a sign that SAU deca days are going to live on!

huge thanks to Ryan and to Leon for taking over the reigns... leon any helo you need organising, setting up etc, i am more than happy to help with!

also a MASSIVE thanks to SAU's too often unsung hero BEC! without you these events would either simply not happen, or would be severely disorganised!

well I had a great day, started with a respectable time on the long wang, and a relaxed cruise around the miniwang.... (not gonna bin my car for that 30 seconds) before moving onto the skidpan where i had an awesome time. spent the day learning to get sideways before the cones and slide past them. was great fun and an invaluable experiance as always!!!!

was terrible to have to drive a mate o the hospital, but awesome to see that he was given the all clear!

unfortunately i missed the battles and had to leave early to get to work, but all in all a brilliant day!

lol don't even worry about it man! i got in all 4 solo skidpan runs and all 4 wang's

not even a little bit concerned... getting a mate to hospital after a crash is far more important than a run on a fkn skidpan!

A BIG thank you to SAU, the event director / managers, micolour for its sponsorship and the volunteers for putting together another adrenalin filled flawless day at DECA!

No doubt this is an exhausting task to both co-ordinate and operate whilst enduring the harsh heat for the pure enjoyment of those involved.

Also a big thumbs up to Leon in keeping the DECA heartbeat alive for future events.

Cheers,

Ben

was a good day but my own stupidity got myself badly sunburnt. that killed my energy.

might volunteer again but in such hot weather seats and umbrellas would be a good idea for everyone.

i keep saying it but i might actually enter next time.

Awesome DECA despite giving Friday night a bit of a nudge and beeing seedy as on Sat. The water fight sorted that out though. Night life was messy as usual, especially when Snowey poors a drink on your head lol.

A masive thanks to all the officials but in particular Rayn for his continual outstanding efforts and dedication to running these fantastic events. Wish you all the best in your new endevors and welcome Leon (stand in Brisby) taking charge moving forward.

Was great catching up with everyone and meeting some more great people.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
