CA airbox - cant help

Quick mods i guess... nothing IMO

Leave the car as if, you probably more used to driving it how it currently is, why change the balance?

As for the motorkhana... itself.

Have a look here:

There are a few video attachments in the thread from the FEB DECA Day that you can download to give you an idea of the day.

Im just the BBQ man and i have the time of my life... driving would be almost as fun i reckon :)

cheers

im with ash, dont change anything. the day is more focused on driver skill and how the car handles, as apposed to outright power. just keep the car how you are used to it on the street and you should do fine. there are a few girls entering so it should be a good competition. sarah is driving my car so no doubt she will beat me, as she can follow instructions.

you basically loose points for hitting cones and making mistakes. if you do the runs without making mistakes and missing cones then you;ll be fine, as a lot of guys (including me) try and go flat out and make too many mistakes. there are big penalties for mistakes

Quick mod? Don't. Just make sure you have enough oil, check brake fluid, coolant......is quick mod :D. I've seen your car at heathcote.

Hey, welcome.

Can't help you with the airbox sorry, I sold mine about 6 months ago

I still have heaps of other random parts lying around if you need though.

As for mods, what West said, just some general maintenence stuff to make sure the car doesnt die on the day.

S13's are great handling cars anyway, and thats more what the day is about, driver skill and handling.

There isn't enough room for power.

If you did want to do some quick things, front/rear strut braces I guess, and maybe a new set of tyres..?

It doesn't matter if you don't have any mods anyway, the aim of the day is to have fun, and there isn't any way you can't have fun at DECA.

Hi Sharni and welcome. First good step, having a go. The rest is just for the fun of it. In fact this time I'm just going to try to slide as much as possible.

Starting Rain Dance for more sliding goodness.

Sharni - as discussed, you will have an ace weekend at DECA.

The driving part is all about getting out there and having fun, but I guarentee you'll have more fun socialising on the Saturday night than you will driving during the day!!! :nyaanyaa:

See you up there,

:fakenopic:

Bec xx

but I guarentee you'll have more fun socialising on the Saturday night than you will driving during the day!!! :fakenopic:

Thats a big statement from someone who has never done the driving before Bec! :nyaanyaa:

For me whilst the nights are fun the driving is more fun. It's great to be able to legally have some fun in your car and in Vic there's no where better for it than DECA. Especially our event designs!

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
