Import Monster Sauvic Deca Wrap Up Thread- Round 2, 2013


Recommended Posts

Thank you to the event organisers and volunteers who despite to awful whether kept smiling and kept the day running. So glad to be driving at DECA again, missed it so much. You could not wipe the smile off my face, it gave me a new level of respect and appreciation for my car. I weirdly enjoyed DECA in the rain. Was also great to catch up with everyone. Bring on next DECA!

PS. looking forward to pics/vids :)

Thank-you so much to all the organisers and volunteers withstanding the rain!
Had a blast with the stagea in the rain despite my constant failure at trying to finish reversing at the battles, sorry to the cone people fixing my mistake. :blush: hahaha
The stagea and I sure did love the wet skid pan, many fun were had making the hearse go sideways. :bunny:

Thanks for yet another great day.

My wife and sister helped out sitting up on the hill at the long wang just so there was enough officials.

Big shout out to organisers and volunteers.

Even though it was really wet it was still very fun.

That cressida leroy peterson was one of my favorite cars on the day.

Good driving and sounded good.

Whats in it?

I meant to come over and have a chat but never got a chance.

Thanks to your wife & sister for helping! Hope it wasn't too boring for them up there!

Add my bit over here then;

Thumbs up to the organisers. Day went well even with the less than ideal weather. Got a better idea of what the Prius will do if it rains at PI but really hoping it doesn't.

Wasn't mine, just chucked my camera on it before the battle. Was a pretty cool car

Cressida belonged to Chris Taylor I think? Not sure on his username here though!

Great DECA despite the weather. Thanks to all the volunteers that stood out in the rain! Thanks to Mustafas Kabab's who fed me all weekend. Thanks to Anna and Luke who very generously offered to tow my car in the case my engine finished itself off. Just shows you the SAU community is second to none!

Highlights:

Green Fairy and tobasco sauce shot. Really cleared the sinuses.

Backwards entry into the basketball court.

Photo bombing at the GV

Daz' argument with a vegitarian at the Kebab shop

Tony touching up the male waiter.

Tony biting my ear.

Matt destroying the toilets at the Aussie

360s in Keiren's car

Denim jacket.

Despite the bad weather and a slightly bent car I also had a great time. Always great to have a weekend with this crew. Abbi and friends enjoyed the day so thanks to those of you that took them for a spin. Kinda glad Abbi wasn't in with Campbell when he exited the track lol. Vid will be up soon for those that haven't seen it. Bring on the next one.

Thanks to Ryan, Bec, Wayne-o, Anna and all volunteers for doing their bit to make the day possible standing out in the wet conditions.

Thanks to everyone who helped. It was good to get back out after a couple of years even if it was cheating in my wrx...

Sorry to see Russman's car do a mischief althought I'm sure you guys will sort it out quick smart!

I had SO MUCH fun this DECA!!! (despite being sick as a dog).

Thanks to all the volunteers (the day wouldn't have run without you all), thanks Leon & Ryan for helping with all the organising, thanks to Kev for letting me and Sam race the work cars, thanks Penrite Oils for donating prizes for the top 3 placers this event and a HUGE thanks to our 2013 event sponsor Import Monster.

So many funny stories from this weekend. The crew certainly stepped up to provide some "haha" moments.

Started digging out the mud this arvo.

Um wow... Lucky they got out ok. Can hear the devastation in Campbell's voice as he loses it - luckily he can fix it though so all is good in the world.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
