are there many DECA's run in a year when you add up all the various car clubs? or do we have to wait for the SAU days?

There's a few other clubs running deca days, I did one with FPV/XR owners club and NDSOC in August which was pretty good. We had a whole group from aus300zx that entered that event. But I like the SAU deca days because they are run so well and there are some really good cars and drivers out there. Only bad thing is whenever I go to a SAU event I end up wanting to buy a GTR to park next to the zed. :)

Who said anything about epileptic?

It was an out of the blue seizure, no apparent reason, he has never had anything of the sort before. Was a great shock to me and the boys. Anyways hes fine now and sorry for holding up the day slightly.

So...it was a great day, had lots and lots of fun. Took my mind off the mornings happenings. Got some footage that ill organise to post up soon.

Was great to participate and to watch everyone too. Couldnt have asked for a better day.

Cheers to all of the organisers, the day went great.

Cant wait until the next one!

Had a great time, with my limited runs, thanks to all the volunteers :(

My day was cut short as i had blow-by issues. Went to a mate's house on Sunday and completed two compression tests (dry and wet) and a leak down test, all results where tops with 150psi +/-2psi (dry) and 160psi flat (wet) across all 6 cylinders. No trace of oil on the plugs, as they where very clean and dry (honestly the plugs looked like new). We found that the oil was over filled, level was 5mm above the high mark, and that the PCV valve was also blocked, which could result in excessive pressure in the head.

My night was also cut short due to having some acid reflux after Tacco Bills :).

Hope i have better luck next time!

Any vids????? :banana:

HEy guys

Firstly a MASSIVE thanks from Mick and I to all the the organisers, Volunteers and everybody who helped make the weekend another awsome event. Big thanks to Ash and Adz for feeding everyone and dealing the MASS flies around the BBQ.

Without you people the event would be nothing. We ALL owe you for your efforts

I think it was great to see more new faces this time, and hopefully they all spread the word and come back next year.

Mick and I had great time, its always good to get the car out and have a good thrashing.

And even better when we dont break anything.

Hopefully brisby will be able to make it to at least one deca next year....... That would be a film worthy battle lol.

Favourite vid seen so far would have to be " miColour smoking it.wmv " found here: Big thanks to emts !

Big thanks to everyone who took vids and pics , your efforts make the event more enjoyable for both ppl that were there and the ones that couldnt make it .

Cheers guys

See you all there next year for a bigger Deca series

Tim

Martin top vids mate, thanks for taking the time to do that :D

I agree Mav :), the exhaust just sounds to quiet for the amount of activity that's happening under the bonnet.

I was really happy with how the car performed and handled. Did all the runs in second gear and never got bogged down :P. Just need to solve the breathing issues, then all is good; already spoke to my mechanic on possible solutions.

EDIT: Sorry James, missed your vids. They look ace too!

My car was handling pretty unpredictably for unknown reasons so I was taking it pretty easy - backend of the car seemed to be doing its own thing. Had a peer under the car last night and it seems the rear sway bar I had installed a few weeks ago is missing a bolt - the thing is just hanging there!

I think I'm going to cry that I did a DECA with it like that! :D

    • 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.
