Hey all! In a bit of a pickle. Chasing two 225-45-17 ku36's. Was meant to pick some up from Advance in richmond but none in stock and only one in the warehouse.... if anyone knows where in Melb or ne vic I can get some please pm me. Otherwise I may have a very odd wheel tyre combo for Deca!

Cheers, Glen.

Thanks guys!

I'll get on it first thing Monday morning. Looks like another trip to melb maybe on the cards haha!

I think Option 1 will deliver for you. Might be able to get em in a few days to save yourself the trip.

to rain or not to rain, the weather forecast for next weekend says rain :yes:

so all you guy's with semi's have a back up plan ? i don't think slicks would be very good in the wet

yay i found the event schedule, why didn't i look there first

semi's... what semis?

RB20's don't have that do they? :)

Hey Leon.

I went moto riding with Andy on the weekend. He told me you bought his car. Are you bringing that to DECA? See if it can handle more than 1 run?

yeah man... bought his car... well see how it goes next time as it still has some issues with the clutch!

Taking the red 180 this time and might put some 'for sale' stickers on it to see if i can move it along to someone else!

semi's... what semis?

pipe down you with your ladida streets :)

Jesse and Chris are out, Antony and Tom G are in.

Less than a week to go! A wet deca could be interesting... if it does rain all 4WDs are banned ;)

im only using what crappy tyres i have, and unfortunetly i have 2 sets of old hard rubber which i feel the need to abuse and wear down.....slowly... :)

omg yeh i had a look at the skidpan layouts, and i like the inclusion of the roundabout in the mini wang !

looking forward to next weekend.

What would be worse? Random average street tyres, or KU36s in the wet, or would I be fine in either if careful?

If it's wet I'll just use this as a big learning experience!

No worries Tom, see you at the next one. Sam you are now in.

Kieran, you need to be careful no matter what tyres you run. and they need to have decent tread depth.

Keep in mind people cold brakes and tyres in the wet on track are very dicey and easy to lock up. its even more important to try and brake in a straight line to keep your weight evenly distributed. (on the back tracks). The skid pan is just rediculous when its wet. I say this as we would like to avoid cars going off as much as possible, obviously :)

The Kumhos have more tread, but both are roadworthy. I guess I'll stick with the kumhos as they're my daily tyres and this will be the best way to learn how my car will react on the street in the wet if I get into a slippery situation.

Like I said, I'm just going to go nice and easy and take this as a big learning experience rather than a race. :)

holly f**k forgot this was this saturday. soo much to do. well not that much. needs to do a full service and mount fire extinguisher.

also if it rains ill just stock to the skid pan and will just cruise around the wangs lol

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
