oh yeah price defs starts to add up. i see the licence as something you pay every year enabling you to attend an event whenever you can. though i understand people who wouldnt get enough use to justify it

In the scheme of things though, it's probably the cheapest part of motorsport.

If DECA is a regular thing now and we get 4 a year it's pretty well justified. Never know when you wanna go club racing and can just do it on a whim.

so the issue was that the new owners required CAMS insurance not ASAA that we had been running under

Cams took a look and said hell no, no way is that safe.

so a number of car clubs (SAUVic included) did some working bees to put up tyre bundles and such to get it across the line.

CAMS have now given the OK on a safety front

so we good to go.

Yeah I'm more inclined to do DECA rather than a tack day less wear on the car.. my brakes would be cooked and would want an intercooler before going on the track, at least with deca it's quick little stints

Even though my car would be woeful with the current tyres, it's Achilles heel (plus it's just big, and auto)

Getting new front AD08R's fitted up tomorrow, current ones are flat spotted after my sandown incident. :/

Entries will be available very soon, throwing together a quick and dirty online entry page at the moment.

I see

Well that is good news

What's with the big price increase? New owners charging more for rental? Though it's been a while since I've done deca so it may be more incremental than it seems to me

last lot were 80-85 off top of head so yes it is an increase.

more rent, insurance cost more,

short of it is we will prob loose a small amount on it with the increase!

hahaha thats priceless. gifs deliver. P's plates is icing.

also the skidpan is so clean in those older vids...

Michaels V8 falcon was a lot of fun last time he went.

Note: couldnt find any ford crash gifs :(

Dunno what Achilles I have.. Sport 2? or something dunno lol

Would be shocking on the skidpan given that when I did it in my N/a 33 it span easily.. another 3x the power with shitter tyres.. hrm.

Simon seems a waste to scrap those fronts? how bad are they?

If anyone wants to buy cheaply I have some 265/18 R1Rs with fk all tread left and some KU31 235/18 with fair bit of tread but nearly fked shoulders

I'd put them on my car for deca but cbf

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
