My results are crap but I still had a tops time!! Next time I may give it a real go at placing rather than just hammering around...

The runs I saw you do looked pretty good. I thought your car would have handled worse and had more lag than it did.

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

On the backtrack they were ok, a bit better than streets, just couldnt get temp into them. on the skid pad they stuck to the shinny surface so much i couldnt use my handbrake, hence i took the rears off... Verdict: never again! its also a pain in the ass changing tyres in the morning and after!.

I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

i had an average day, rushed to get all my skid pan runs in after we fixed the pedal and stuffed some of them up. i was stoked to get back out there, thought id be organising a trailer home.. but well done to all the rwd guys, right up there amoungst all the cheater cars and GTR's!

Bring on the next DECA!!

For what it is worth the federals on James EVO were great. I think for people wanting a good tyre without getting full semi-comp either those Federal 595RS or the Azien RT615's are perfect as at DECA I don't think there is any real advantage of a full semi over them (except maybe 1s on the back track) and they will last a lot longer.

well i headed to shep at midnite on sat nite.. got there n brisby had spent $400 on strippers... chris left rawhide n we stumbled upon him waiting in the kfc drivethrough where we had a lil tool wanting to take everyone on.

i left shep at 4.30 n i think bris was still at the strippers (would have stopped but cbf paying another $12 just to c him sitting there)

n i hear shan had an accident with a gate. as paul would say "got gate?"

lol, those lil fags were good value but. "we'll fight anyone we see ay bro" .... dezz gets out... yip. that sure changed. lol....

Was one of the best ones I've competed in yet...I missed out last feb, so was my first time doing those particular events, and they were a lot of fun :)

hehe, a few runs in particular were pretty good fun lol

lol u looked maggoted chris

possibly coz he was... lol

Pretty happy with my effort...only 2 penalties all day and they were both on the battle course that I got completely wrong :O

the burnouts at the top of the course made up for my complete lack of navigation though. haha.

lol..I sucked as always :laugh:

I give up on these weekends, they just leave me broke with a car with no tyres :laugh:

If anyone is interested in getting some very cheap second hand street tyres (235/45/17) after ripping theirs up on the weekend let me know via PM, not here. I can get get some very good (80-90%) dunlop SP3000's for $60 each for SAU Vic people.

LOL my crapbox was using nearly 2yo SP3000's, hate them even more than the SP9000's I had on the other taxi. I reckon the worst semi-comps would be quieter than these things dunlop calls tyres!

Got not issues with tearing them up tho :laugh:

So they're noisy, but do they grip? I thought they must be ok if ford is putting them on new cars.

Im sure you can do better, on the other car it was cheaper for the dealer to replace the 9000's with bridgestone S03's which were 10x better. Then again, Ford does try to pass of the cars it fits them to as "sporty" hehe

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
