Seeing if people are interested!

This event was run last year by another car club and it was great. So this year my club (Northern Street Cruizers, based in Tullarmarine) have decided to hire out the DECCA course in Shepparton, VIC. and run it again.

FACTS: (These are yet to be confirmed)

Date: Looking at 06/04/03

Time: Early Morning 9-10am till 3-6pm (last year we stayed at a

motel the night b4)

Price: Approx. $50 per car

We do have liabilty insurance for the day (Definate)

EVENTS: (No particular order)

1/ Time trial - A track is present at the site, we will also include a few shikanes to make it a bit more interesting. This is not all about speed but also handling. Get from start to finish in the quickest time possible.

2/ Figure 8 - This is fun but wears your tyres out chronically

3/ DEECA have a HUGE skid pan! This will be used to host various

events.

-Slalom. Witches hats placed, and parts of course watered.

- Head to Head Slalom. As prvious only much smaller and

against another opponant. Winner progresses, looser is

eliminated.

- Finally whatever goes!! All obsticales cleared off skid pan

and you have a few minutes by youself to let go.

This is just a fun day, were you can find the limits of your car and your driving ability :) in a safe and controlled environment.

I would be in for sure. I have previously organised one in the passed and im sure Meggala will tell you was a fun day had by all.

My only concern is with the drought and water on the skidpan. I know they have their own water storage area, but Last time I was there we were limited to the amount of water on the skidpan.

Please check with decca to ensure they have enough water.

GIDDY UP!

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
