dont know how i managed getting more pissed on friday night than saturday night, but it made the driving that much more interesting saturday morning!!!

thank you to chris and snowy for organising, thank you to james for all his hard work on the day, leading up to it and after!!! and of course to the officials for without them the day would be nothing.

yeah got in nice and early and got 2 wang burgers... filled me up for the day.

I didn't realise you wer there dezz.

GTS4 was good. Love teh GT2530 (I think) on the RB20 styles. Needs a tune, and needs to have a decent boost controller fitted. AWD in the GTS4 was so much fun... much more than RWD in the GTS4... dosen't steer as well in RWD mode.

Tyre coming off the rim was a scare in the morning, and prevented me from enjoying the long wang n short wang... but skidpanning was good.

Almost beat snowy in a run too if I hadn't knocked over the cone :) (granted he did spin out twice).

This is gonna be my last DECA (seeing as I'm moving to Sydney next month) and it was great fun. Almost tempts me to drive down to Shepp for the weekend next time its on.

Some sad news, towards the end of the day my gearbox was really struggling to go into gear (causing a lot of runs to be done in 2nd gear only)... looks like the problem is still there, the clutch dosen't seem to be disengaging even when the pedal is 100% in, making it hard to put it inot and pull it out of gears. Driving around by matchin revs isn't fun, esp in traffic. Looks like it might be a siezed thrust bearing (worst case) or just not enough pressure from the clutch master (best case).

I had an awesome weekend as always.

Its a bit of a pity I couldn't compete in the afternoon because of my clutch, but the drive back to Melbourne re-assured me I made the right decision to pull out, it was slipping all the way home and I definately wouldn't have made it back if I was out on the skidpan yesterday arvo.

Thanks to all of the organisers, officials and BBQ crew for a fantastic job as per usual.

Really looking foward to the next one, not looking foward to the photos from this one though. Definately was the most rowdy Deca yet.

What an AWESOME weekend, seems to get better every time :) My times were down from last time, but i was having toooooo much fun. Glad the old guy didn't pass out in my car, during a run, he loved every moment of it :banana:.

I was happy to let others drive my car (correction: try to drive my car :)), shows me that the "light switch" power catches everyone off gaurd. Troy did an outstanding drift round the entire pan, felt awesome as i was in the passenger seat :).

As usual a big thanks to the organisers, officals, volunteers and RACINGLINE for sponsoring the event. Nige's Supra looked and performed outrageously well all day, he should probably consider entering the DUTTON, just to see how it goes.

The "after party" was as expected, messy and memorable ;), GREAT freakin night!

People don't be affraid to post up photo's and footage :banana:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
