Now that was a good deca!!

Thanks to:

Import Monster - It's great to have you onboard and even better to see you out there driving!!

Bec - So many years you keep doing the things that no one wants to do and more to the point, what no one knows you do! THANKS! :worship:

Wayne - Every time you come up, you're the first there and the first person rounding up volunteers to run the day and then volunteer yourself from the first car to the last. GREAT

EFFORT!

The Volunteers - My favourite people of all.

From the drivers who come up and do this job when their car is broken, about to be sold or have sold, and to the people that come up for the weekend and do this job without being asked or simply just doing it because there is not enough people to do the job, a huge THANK YOU.

Every driver should go out of their way to do something special for these people!! :D :D :D

Ryan - more time out of your spare time to help make this event happen... good job.

Mike - your number 26 next deca. Little F*%$#@^! (good job mate :ninja: )

To everyone else .... Bring on next DECA!

:laugh:

hahaha awesome!

And see - Grant has evidence of said geese/ducks/whateverthefarktheywereinmyway

Looks shopped to me.

It is time to return to DECA! Bring on Deca-mber.

Thanks to the organisers, volunteers & sponsors for putting on an awesome Deca! Also thanks to those who took some awesome video footage and photos!

I didn't really get a chance to socialise much on the day, I was feeling a bit out of it - probably due to the fact I was running on less then 2hours sleep haha but I look forward to seeing you all up there for the next one :)

The car held up fairly well except for the fact I killed another fuel pump, still made it back to Melbourne before it really started playing up, luckily..

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • 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. 🤣
