Got to say one of THE best Decas in quite a while. Well mainly cos wet deca last time sucked!

Driving the Sil80 was sooo much fun having a different go at things, steering with the rear instead of the front ha ha and not going for times but angle and smoke instead. Car is a weapon :-) Thanks to The Wheel Deal for supplying tyres at awesome prices for us to skid on. Keep The Wheel Deal in mind when you next need tyres!

Thanks for everyone who sat and stood out in the sun so we could have fun :-) thanks to everyone that puts so much effort into making decas with our club awesome.

Saturday night was damn good! Pretty happy to make it past 9pm ha ha. Family pizzas on the way home were great thanks Pauly! Thanks MARRK and co for grabbing the box of kebabs!

FYI - all AASA licenses from the day have now been submitted to AASA. If you do not receive your license within 4 weeks, then I suggest you call them and chase it up

If there's anything that brings a hangover back on with vengeance it's pushing a car with a locked diff off the skid pan... :sick::sick::sick:

People speeding in the car park or driving fast where people stand - I have a few cars that I will remember for next time and if I see you speeding I will be kicking you out.

Plain and simple.

The track and skid pan is where you do your fast stuff and if you feel the need to keep speeding then this is the wrong car club for you.

Burnouts in the line for the skid pan - next time I see this I will ban you from any future DECA's that I'm the Clerk of Course for.

This is simply stupid.

I think all of those bad points were one main car, that fuy was a complete d### and in my oppinion should have been kicked out beforw the battles, first deca I have been to that I have seen someone be such a clown off the tracks.

Leon you nailed it. Bottom line is we run this event because we want to. Everyone is welcome but if you do something that will jeopardise someone's safety or our insurance then you will be booted. Showing off is for on the track. If you cant impress there you sure aint going to in the carpark.

Name,and shame.

Perma-ban?

SAU DECA is awesome and muppets that spoil a great day out need to be taught a lesson! :rant:

Must agree with you guys, that was one of the best and enjoyable DECA! Perhaps because the last one was full of rain...


Couldn't complain about the weather either, can't recall the burnout and speeding in the carpark? I assumed it wasn't from my group?

My missus, Trinh did the finisher timing for the mini-mega wang when the evo went off track, sure did made her panic! She's not really interested in cars but she really appreciated the close community of SAU helping each other especially when someone's in danger, lets just say she really enjoys the company of SAU and not the cars itself. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the ride Mark on one of the battles, wish I did turn on the gopro to record my awesome co-driver navigation. hahaha

Agreed!

Not sure which of the 2 orange S13's it was I saw but dude you can drive! Some nice drifting in the battles!

That would be Campbell.

Thanks to all the usual suspects and volunteers who run the day massive effort. Absolute tops work.

Still had a ball even though had to park it half way through. Higher pressure radiator cap + impossibly positioned hose that's been sitting around without coolant for a good few years is I guess bound to do that eventually.

Leon, Jack, Campbell, Marky, Russ and Jake who all lent a hand / tools / coolant to try get me going or get the car on the trailer - big love.

Saturday night was a cracker, it stepped up a few gears and descended into madness out of nowhere! Was still a little rough yesterday morning.

----- turns out after checking with Kat, our head unit wasn't stolen haha - DECA is safe

Anyway, love you guys and bring on November!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
