So I had a dream (nightmare) last night that I got to DECA and I had forgotten something and wasn't allowed to compete.

Just to confirm, all I need is the following? :

Entry form, faxed, paid and accepted and on the list.

AASA Club Licence Application Printed and Filled out, to be paid with $50 on Saturday Morning.

1kg CAMS Approved Fire Extinguisher, bolted to a bracket that I've made from 30mm x 3mm Aluminum strap going between my front bolts on the passenger seat.

Motorbike helmet is alright?

Jeans, Long sleeve top and fully covered shoes?

Anything else I need to do before I head up on Friday arvo?

Getting really excited now, every time I think of it I get a little grin going and people at work ask me why I look funny :(

I want 22c, still and dry. Bring on the dry weather, I wanna see what some of you guys can do :)

The first thing on your list should have been a case of beer.

:domokun:

Otherwise the list looks good, just remember to have ALL loose items (incl spare tyre) removed for when you go through scrutineers.

I've lost count the amount of people I've sent back over the years for this like loosely bolted in Amps/Sub's & other various items in the boot. All it does is waste everyone's time holding up the morning ;)

Brews shall be purchased between the outskirts of Shep and the motel, don't you worry about that :thumbsup: My only concern is the capacity of the mini fridge not being a team player :cheers:

No subs, and my amp is bolted in pretty securely, they won't be going anywhere.

Are you saying the stock space saver, bolted in properly, needs to be removed? Will probably rip it out when I get to the motel for the weight anyway...

Pretty securely might not be enough mate.

When I've been doing it, people that have them drilled into the backing MDF where the battery is - get knocked back.

Simply because 99% of them I've been able to move the MDF by hand. Imagine a heavy amp doing the rounds should you end up in a spot of bother. Simply not worth a risk.

The Cooper S will be a great car for the skidpan. FWDs do awesome on the pan!

Is it secure?

The requirement as per the supp regs is that it is secure.

How you mount it is your choice. So it cannot obviously be moving in any direction and work loose.

Are there any restrictions on filling up from drums of fuel at Deca? This is my first outing since converting the car to E85 and not being able to duck out the to the BP for Ultimate out of the pump, so I just want to make sure I don't break some rule if I need to crack a drum open to fill up.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
