Got to say one of THE best Decas in quite a while. Well mainly cos wet deca last time sucked!

Driving the Sil80 was sooo much fun having a different go at things, steering with the rear instead of the front ha ha and not going for times but angle and smoke instead. Car is a weapon :-) Thanks to The Wheel Deal for supplying tyres at awesome prices for us to skid on. Keep The Wheel Deal in mind when you next need tyres!

Thanks for everyone who sat and stood out in the sun so we could have fun :-) thanks to everyone that puts so much effort into making decas with our club awesome.

Saturday night was damn good! Pretty happy to make it past 9pm ha ha. Family pizzas on the way home were great thanks Pauly! Thanks MARRK and co for grabbing the box of kebabs!

If there's anything that brings a hangover back on with vengeance it's pushing a car with a locked diff off the skid pan... :sick::sick::sick:

People speeding in the car park or driving fast where people stand - I have a few cars that I will remember for next time and if I see you speeding I will be kicking you out.

Plain and simple.

The track and skid pan is where you do your fast stuff and if you feel the need to keep speeding then this is the wrong car club for you.

Burnouts in the line for the skid pan - next time I see this I will ban you from any future DECA's that I'm the Clerk of Course for.

This is simply stupid.

I think all of those bad points were one main car, that fuy was a complete d### and in my oppinion should have been kicked out beforw the battles, first deca I have been to that I have seen someone be such a clown off the tracks.

Leon you nailed it. Bottom line is we run this event because we want to. Everyone is welcome but if you do something that will jeopardise someone's safety or our insurance then you will be booted. Showing off is for on the track. If you cant impress there you sure aint going to in the carpark.

Name,and shame.

Perma-ban?

SAU DECA is awesome and muppets that spoil a great day out need to be taught a lesson! :rant:

Must agree with you guys, that was one of the best and enjoyable DECA! Perhaps because the last one was full of rain...


Couldn't complain about the weather either, can't recall the burnout and speeding in the carpark? I assumed it wasn't from my group?

My missus, Trinh did the finisher timing for the mini-mega wang when the evo went off track, sure did made her panic! She's not really interested in cars but she really appreciated the close community of SAU helping each other especially when someone's in danger, lets just say she really enjoys the company of SAU and not the cars itself. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the ride Mark on one of the battles, wish I did turn on the gopro to record my awesome co-driver navigation. hahaha

Some in car vids from NUTR33:First timed long wang runhttp://youtu.be/d99kyRfjlsASecond timed long wang run, including some grass skating lolhttp://youtu.be/fSsxXRW6wakFinal skid pan battle:http://youtu.be/VpZN_PYYAgAMore pics & vid coming but I'm buggered so for now that's it.

Lol at the end.

No probs mate! Navigation was awesome! :thumbsup:

Lucky you came for a ride. Completely forgot where i was going!

Agreed!

Not sure which of the 2 orange S13's it was I saw but dude you can drive! Some nice drifting in the battles!

That would be Campbell.

Thanks to all the usual suspects and volunteers who run the day massive effort. Absolute tops work.

Still had a ball even though had to park it half way through. Higher pressure radiator cap + impossibly positioned hose that's been sitting around without coolant for a good few years is I guess bound to do that eventually.

Leon, Jack, Campbell, Marky, Russ and Jake who all lent a hand / tools / coolant to try get me going or get the car on the trailer - big love.

Saturday night was a cracker, it stepped up a few gears and descended into madness out of nowhere! Was still a little rough yesterday morning.

----- turns out after checking with Kat, our head unit wasn't stolen haha - DECA is safe

Anyway, love you guys and bring on November!

I think we all were at some stage... :P They were going around

Edit: I'm surprised you noticed the cruiser instead of the thing hanging out of campbells pants...

yeah i was being silly. not cool

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • 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?
