staying away from the pole is a step forward...

the pulsar definatly has more potential if you wana push it harder

Oh definitely, it will with a manual behind it which will happen sometime next year. It didn't help that the auto was on the way out from when I started DECA that morning. The last battle finished it off. I was really slow and cautious on Long Wang for obvious reasons.

Manual + a bit more skill and hopefully I'll do better next year.

All you guys just take it too seriously.

People are wasting money buying semi slick for DECA, i just throw on the cheapest pair of tyres, on the rear, and do my best to hold a slide, when i spin (note i didn't say "if i spin" :down:) i do my best to make some smoke and put on a show :)

on the contrary, i dont think deca could be any less serious. the competition side of things are very relaxed. to compete doesnt mean you are going for number 1 spot, its also when you are taking on cars that are similar to yours. its when you get beaten by that similar car that you try that little bit harder and learn more about you and your car the next time.

Ripped it off with your helmet? I swear until my helmet was worn in that it was going to rip my ears off every time!

Are you pulling the helmet straps out to the side as you take it off? It helps if you don't already do this. I know when I first started wearing helmets I used to just pull it off quite painfully, but tugging on the straps clears the ears pretty well!

Each to their own, some people go to DECA to get the best times they can, which is fine, some go just to rip it up and/or put on a show...

Haha - I go to get the best times I can but try to put on a show at the same time!

But mostly I go to beat Chris. :)

I'm with you Andrew...not that I've been to many DECAs at all (read: one), but when I was there I tried for best times on the skidpan (too scared to push the wangs in my daily driver lol) and I was more impressed with seeing quick runs than skidpan antics...but a combination of both is a nice mix for a day of car action.

Yep I worked that out after the first couple of times of having burning ears hehe. The helmet was still quite a firm fit at first but now it is very snug and comfortable after only the first few times I put it on and took it off.

With the insane heat we had, having a camelbak in the car made it very easy to drink with a full face helmet on; the mouthpiece can be passed up from underneath the chin.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      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)
