BIRDS have a look at this

Tell me what this man should have done from about the 24-30 second mark. If you think it would be quicker to change to second and then back to first then you're dreaming. If you put the clutch in you start to slow down, if you back off early you lose time. Please explain.

The other thing is that in a sub 30 second run of a motorkhana, the extra bit of heat you get in your tyres from a bit of wheel spin early may well be worth more time in grip than you lose initially. I don't know that it is but I bet you don't know that it isn't.

I think you've made some good points but perhaps you are basing too much of your theory on circuit racing. But even in circuit racing you have those moments where you just nudge your rev limiter a moment before your braking point where it is not worth going to the next gear. How do you handle these situations?

Well it looks like a seat is needed for the Silvia sooner than I thought. The back has torn away from the base bracket which explains why I could only sit in hectic VL turbo mode or literally hang off the steering wheel for the second half of the day lol

Made for some interesting driving :down:

Who's got a seat to suit an S13 they wanna sell me!

I'm happy with that. Not any awesome results, but nothing terrible either.

Definately bring on next Nov. I was let down by my Mini and Long Wang times. I was a bit nervous about pushing the car on such high speed tracks, but the next time I think I'll give it a bit more stick.

Still can't believe a stock 110awkw auto Evo driven by someone who has never done anything like this before managed to pull such awesome scores. Now I see why people call Evo's cheats.

Great work guys..

Congrats to the winners... Chris & Russman..

Good to see Russell Gilder right up there, he was driving the pants of that thing...

Also I reckon the quite achiever of the day would have to be Dane Stokes...

He was putting around all day in that little STI just putting down some consistantly quick times...

Just missed out on the Outright Podium... good work...

Cheaters aside... :blush::(

the RWD boys/girls did a great job aswell.

I'm happy with my results too... as long as there is a Corona in the top 20 it is all good..

Sticking it to all you Modern Chassis / Modern suspension setup, plastic fantastics...

One day... One day Corona's will rule to world.........of Deca..

*waits for Ryan to pipe up* :laugh:

Your long wang time would have been better if you didn't try and stop at the finishe line :blush:

Well done to all... except you Russ... 2 points! :blush: Haha nah, well done mate, nice driving! I can't believe I went right instead of left at the last cone on the first skidpan event... ahhhh woulda, coulda, shoulda :laugh:

But I'm even more in love with my car now after DECA. I'm so impressed with it for a stock car *hugs*

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
