Red32? dont remember one of those?? was there anything that made it stand out? oh, you had the one with the nice doors!

I have some footage of mats, ill put it on youtube unless you have some webspace...

although he is watching atm, so he may be doing it already :cheers:

Looks like you all had a great weekend.

I hate missing out on DECA..oh well next time..

Also great pics guys... :cheers:

x2 :blush:

i'm moving to WA for a year in Jan, but i'm going to come back over and take the cobwebs off my car and have a play with you guys again!! (if i'm allowed :ph34r::w00t:)

Well I don't know where to start, maybe with the highlights!

- The Honeymoon suite, do i need to say anymore!

- Big Red is the most awesome car on the planet (Seriously!), soooo much fun to drive! :ph34r::cheers:

- Having Rob, Mark & Sean at their first Deca! Thanks for coming up guys, i'm sure you will be back.

- Taco Bills and the hot sauce, possibly the worst experience of my entire life! And the culprit is still feeling very average about the whole 'incident'.

- Mav learning how to pole dance at the strippers on the main stage, best $40 we've ever spent and i've never laughed soo much!

- Handbags laughing so hard at Mav on the main stage at the stippers that he fell off his chair :blush:

- Vadg you are a legend! Thanks for being a good sport! :rant:

- The 8 hour mission home, Shepparton to Brighton (to drop Big Red off) to Eltham (to drop the trailer off) to Brighton (to drop the X5 off) to Malvern (Finally home). Such an exhausting day!

- Thanks to the officials for making that event happen, the conditions were terrible, sooo hot with so many flies, you guys did really well!

That's about it for now.

Looking forward to the next one! :w00t:

Thanks for inviting me Juzzy and organising everything else for us, had a ball, even though i dont think i successfully completed one driving task.

As for the hot sauce incident.... the guilty puppydog look on his face as if he was getting told off for shitting on the carpet when you were having words with him out the back of Taco Bills..... priceless.

Sorry you had to go though that agony for our entertainment. As for the naughty puggydog you are an evil evil person to pull a gag like that knowing how much trouble you were getting yourself into. I love it.

Thanks for everybody who gave their time over the weekend for us so we could just drive in and tear up. Cheers.

Rob

Hey can someone / anyone with video footage and skills please put together a battles only vid for me?

Do you want like a mixed together sorta of clip... with music and editing and stuff or just the raw footage?

Also do you want deca just gone only or clips from any deca...

I can probably have a bit of a play tonight....

Matt anything you want to put together is fine. Infact if you have something from past DECA's as well that would be super as the battles this time weren't regularly as close as some previous ones we have done.

And not necessarily of me / my car but of any good ones is what I am after.

i took my other one to Beaurepairs on Monday and it was $29 for them to fix

so will just take this one there tomorrow

they said about the first one that it was fairly close to the edge so keep an eye on it

this one, i couldnt see a nail sticking out but when i was changing it, i could hear it hissing

Also, out of interest, did anyone else end up with screws in their tyre? I woke up sunday morning to find 1 almost deflated front right tyre, and about 4 screws in my left rear tyre, which I know for a fact I got from the DECA facility. Rather disappointed that I now have one tyre which is pretty much fubar, and another that I will need to get repaired, damaged from screws floating around at DECA lol.

All the screws came from bigred's boot locking machanism - j/k

Results are still being processed. Sorry!

I havn't been home any night this week so far, and tonight is no different. I'll see what I can do.

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
