What a great weekend! I haven't been to a Deca since November 2007 and I had an absolute blast. Still just as much fun but with a lot of new faces....

Thanks Adam for letting me drive Big Red (Again!), you're the best! Big Red is just amazing now and so solid compared to last time I drove it. At least we had traction at the start of the day this time! :)

Saturday night antics were fantastic!

Highlights of the weekend for me:

BIG RED!

Launches from the 32 GTR, that has to get my vote as one of the best cars of the day!!

Making balloon animals for Bec & Dee

Scottsman throwing salt at Ryan

Adam Hot Saucing Scottsman!

Certain People decorating The Stigs Car

Making a singing Sombraro Bush in the main street.

Dancing like an idiot to some cheesy band and one SAU guy who will remain nameless that knows the words to every verse of Time Warp.

Listening to Shepparton Girls Burp and talk about girl fights in the ladies toilets at the Ozzy, they should have gone to the mens.

Thanks to the officials and everyone for volunteering their time to make another great SAU event.

thanks again to all the organisers and volunteers, it went really smoothly... everyone got through with plenty of time to have a break for lunch and for some smokeshows at the end of the day... everyone knows 33GTSt's are teh donut kings!

Sorry we didn't eat with you guys at the Mexican joint but I had some major sucking up to do to the missus... when we did rock up I was impressed to see what would have to be the biggest turn out ever... and it was farkin mayhem in there!... you animals! :) lol I always feel kinda bad for any other customers who happen to try and have dinner at the same time as the SAU clan... they should be warned hehe

from now on I shall be known as Nick, Professional RB Killer... the diagnosis is as suspected so its at the doctors awaiting surgery... thanks to Tim and Mick for the tow back to the caravan park and for Jack for coming out to Shep on his day off to rescue me!

haha troublemaker... No it didn't Nath, but it did develop a bottom end knock... sounds like it picked up one of the bearings... I wasn't as nice to it as you were, I gave it some major rev limiter love... was trying to overcome the weight of the Bigbird sitting in the passenger seat!

Does that mean that there is a manual conversion for the Pulsar on the cards, some time soon(before next DECA)?:)

Yup, that's what I'm aiming towards - not before next DECA though. It's a little expensive.

what are you going to use a strengthened SSS box?

N15 SSS box + PAR 1st-5th billet straight cut gearset + crown wheel and pinion + heavy duty clutch + Nismo 1.5 way LSD is the plan. Need to get the driving down pat first, in the meantime I can save.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
