LOL yes doing 7500rpm launches on Hoosier drag radials a few months ago might have made a mess of the rear diff too.

Usually i'd only launch @ 4000-4500rpm and it would turn tyres easy on the skidpan.

However there was addition of Racepace-spec Tiens... So was launching @ 6500rpm or 6700rpm, and it was still bogging on occassions as it just has heaps of grip now.

Felt heaps more settled on the back track too. Certainly worth the money.

hrmm... :glare:

Rear not locking would be the reason it wouldn't spin around on itself.

Perhaps it is stuffed as well :angry:

Open your wallet once again...

so whats the estimated cost of fixing?

I've got a Nismo front diff, so it doesn't break again.

Stock rear diff though, they are usually fine so i'll just get another. I'll drop the shaft first and make 100% sure it's not working :merli:

Thanks heaps to the organisers, volunteers and sponsers for doing such a great job. I had heaps of fun, not just at DECA but on Saturday night too :) You guys sure know how to party haha

The pics and video footage look great! Can't wait to properly go through all the pics after work

Driving on Saturday hungover hurts. A lot. Yet it hurts a lot less than the pain of not making it :D

When you drop a wheel on the grass, you sure slide for a long.. long.. long time huh?!

Thanks go to the organisers once again for a perfectly run day, love your work guys!

Single Spinners FTW! - Well least thats what it looked like from the vantage point I had.... Hey, on the positive side- at least there was some smoke :nyaanyaa:

Thanks again to the organisers, I had a great time and we couldnt have asked for better weather!

Big thanks to Wayne-o for the pre-dinner jagerbombs.... Has anyone else ever been kicked out of Baz's or am I the first one? I was apparently very happy, sociable and extremely loud- and told everyone "I LOVE LOVE Luke but LOVE youl" :rofl2:

Ahhh, good times! Sad that I will miss November DECA, but have the Skyline Nats to make up for it - bring it on!! :cheers:

Where was the grass slide? Long Wang? I have a series of photos of somebody taking the scenic route past the garage.

Unfortunately for Jett, I not only have a picture of his impromptu hill climb event, I have a series of 9 pictures. I feel an animation may be produced later.

I had a great day, fantastically run as always!

Perfect DECA.

Awesome weather, tons of fun, no major incidents, fun Sat night and a pleasant drive home. As always massive thanks to import monster, volunteers, and organisers.

I've also heard rumours about introducing a new hill climb event next DECA considering the last was so successful. Can anyone confirm this?

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
