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 :)

Looks like the wagons not going to be ready for the event.

" It'll be ready mate... definitely (Mechanic) "

Luckily Iv got plan B: The miss's Mini cooper S.

Dont worry Im paying for this one: cooking, cleaning, massages....Omg what have I got myself into..

better be a bloody good Deca.

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!

Finally Cams gets with the times...

except when i got to the end, it couldn't process the payment :mad: - will have to ring tmw.

the online app was very very clunky, definitely v1.0

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.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
