Fantastic weather and fantastic day bar a few negative moments...volunteers should really be clearer on the rules...hope everyone had fun and hope those with mechanical issues can get them sorted soon...

I guess I should be happy with a 3rd in rwd.... :/

If your not having fun at DECA don't go.

If having a sook about volunteers and having a cry about coming third is what your into, no one will miss you anyway...

I know its tough being a volunteer and even tougher being an organizer...i know because i've run a deca day before and will be running another one very soon...being at the pointy end of the field this year makes it a little more important to me...you don't know the details of my day so i won't expect you to understand and won't take your comments to heart too...

Ultimately I appreciate the fact that these days are still happening and will continue to support SAU VIC in their events...this is the only level of motorsport i take part in at the moment so don't fault me for being passionate about it....

We're not talking high level motorsport here man...

We are only using manual timing so there's nearly 1/4 - 1/2 a second just in a button press. You don't see people 'at the pointy end' complaining about 0.5 sec inaccuracies.

sometimes 0.5 is all that seperates the top 5 or 10 times and a few of them could add up to 31 points :P

Anyway. I love the competitive side of it so don't think I'm playing down the 'competition' of it all, it makes it more fun. Ryan and I have been dualing at decas for a long time in similar (well used to be similar) cars and to be honest that is where the real fun is. I've had incorrect times in the past but it's only club level motorsport with volunteers standing out in the sun for us! Get over it. Don't even mention it.

Agreed Russ...its entry level motorsport and meant to be fun...but those 31 points could end up really handy right? lol...i know i could use about 20 or so points... :P

For the record I was contesting a questionable penalty in the region of 5 secs but the event is long over and theres nothing that can be done about it now...the organizers have tried to address it and thats all I can ask for...

The last round should be interesting....

You should probably consider yourself lucky then I didn't penalize you for not stopping in the gate properly in one of the battles...

Thanks guys!

I thought his was slightly darker than that one-must just be the pic

haha, Steve, that's my car :)

Those pics do make it a bit lighter than it is i think, this is probably more accurate

And John, didn't even realise i was talking to you the whole time!! haahah, nice to finally meet you. Been watching all your track vids and what not.

Thanks for those that took pics and videos. Ryan and Russell, driving skills are just fantastic to watch, especially your battles on the pan. The sil80 was just smooooth and the 32 was just banshee style... loved it!

Supra, impressive driving. Mark, in the 944, very impressive. Lots of great drivers and the RS5 was silly quick and nimble for such a big car!

Tip for those re: tyre pressures on the skid-pan... don't run 40+ psi like i did... :blush: - i dropped to about 37'ish i think for the arvo events, and it was much better. Probably the only one silly enough to go that high :D -

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
