Well new motor is in and looking like my car may be done for this DECA! Better get off my arse and enter :)

Oh damn, I was hoping that you'd bring it up in the state it was in last DECA... and we'd all be able to share the joy of a blown motor limping off the skidpan

All your mods were external bolt ons right? Unopened head?

Yeah pretty much. Unopened motor. Took/ taking the opportunity to fix some niggling issues at the same time. So still not 100% my car will make it.

Sorry mate... on the list now!

Not sure why it didn't come through

Hi guys,

Have paid on 30/7 and sent forms via email but haven't been registered on the list.

Have just re-faxed forms also.

Can you please confirm if you have received my forms?

Cheers,

Thang

On the weekend gave my calipers a good cleanup and fixed my guard liner which kept popping out due to lack of plugs... has scrubbed under full lock since the last deca :P

I've got a week off next week, so I'm considering dropping into Shockworks and seeing what they can do for me in regards to coilovers, plus all bushes all round. Stop this horrible suspension clunk and bouncy 10+ yo Bilstein Shocks.

Are you talking about Meeting at Wallan or similar at 5:15 in the morning for the drive up to shepp?

Most of us stay up there on Friday night at the motel (see the accommodation thread)

Do the bushes at least. Rear alloy collars are amazing.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
