C'mon, surely not everyone who is coming up for Deca will be driving??

At this stage with the lack of volunteers I am starting to wonder why the commitee bother putting the effort into organising DECA when they cant even get enough volunteers in advance and are left chasing people on the day. Maybe it will take a cancellation of DECA on the Saturday morning for people to realise we arent saying that the event will not run if we dont have the volunteers just for fun? Why should we be left chasing people on the day?? I've only been helping out a few years but each time we run DECA it peeves me off to no end the fact that Bec, Ryan, Wayne, Martin etc are all chasing around asking people if they can help on the day. It's not that hard to volunteer a few hours in the morning and get plenty of runs in the arvo with mates. /end rant

I think possibly youre forgetting the fact that alot of helpers are friends of those entered or going up for a look.

In this case these people are not actually active on the forum. I know for a fact one of my mates came up for a look last time and ended up helping, he isnt part of this forum. He will probably help again.

Of course it would be wonderful if all of the spots could be filled prior to the event but you cant really expect not to have the chase people on the day.

Hey guys Jett has just informed me that he's signed up to drive. Sorry to stuff you around, I did try to get some helpers this time around and had 3 lined up originally!

As always we can help between runs where needed.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
