LOL yes doing 7500rpm launches on Hoosier drag radials a few months ago might have made a mess of the rear diff too.

Usually i'd only launch @ 4000-4500rpm and it would turn tyres easy on the skidpan.

However there was addition of Racepace-spec Tiens... So was launching @ 6500rpm or 6700rpm, and it was still bogging on occassions as it just has heaps of grip now.

Felt heaps more settled on the back track too. Certainly worth the money.

hrmm... :glare:

Rear not locking would be the reason it wouldn't spin around on itself.

Perhaps it is stuffed as well :angry:

Open your wallet once again...

so whats the estimated cost of fixing?

I've got a Nismo front diff, so it doesn't break again.

Stock rear diff though, they are usually fine so i'll just get another. I'll drop the shaft first and make 100% sure it's not working :merli:

Thanks heaps to the organisers, volunteers and sponsers for doing such a great job. I had heaps of fun, not just at DECA but on Saturday night too :) You guys sure know how to party haha

The pics and video footage look great! Can't wait to properly go through all the pics after work

Driving on Saturday hungover hurts. A lot. Yet it hurts a lot less than the pain of not making it :D

When you drop a wheel on the grass, you sure slide for a long.. long.. long time huh?!

Thanks go to the organisers once again for a perfectly run day, love your work guys!

Single Spinners FTW! - Well least thats what it looked like from the vantage point I had.... Hey, on the positive side- at least there was some smoke :nyaanyaa:

Thanks again to the organisers, I had a great time and we couldnt have asked for better weather!

Big thanks to Wayne-o for the pre-dinner jagerbombs.... Has anyone else ever been kicked out of Baz's or am I the first one? I was apparently very happy, sociable and extremely loud- and told everyone "I LOVE LOVE Luke but LOVE youl" :rofl2:

Ahhh, good times! Sad that I will miss November DECA, but have the Skyline Nats to make up for it - bring it on!! :cheers:

Where was the grass slide? Long Wang? I have a series of photos of somebody taking the scenic route past the garage.

Unfortunately for Jett, I not only have a picture of his impromptu hill climb event, I have a series of 9 pictures. I feel an animation may be produced later.

I had a great day, fantastically run as always!

Perfect DECA.

Awesome weather, tons of fun, no major incidents, fun Sat night and a pleasant drive home. As always massive thanks to import monster, volunteers, and organisers.

I've also heard rumours about introducing a new hill climb event next DECA considering the last was so successful. Can anyone confirm this?

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
