I had a great day as always.

As always, I said I might just try to win this time, but as soon as I lost traction the first time, I gave up and just went for the biggest angle and the most smoke.

Speaking of smoke, I burnt through at least 65% of my brand new tyres.

And I need a new clutch :D

But that doesn't matter, I had a freaking ball as always!

Where are the pics?

BASS OUT

...flashbacks...its slowly coming back to me :D

Great weekend, big thanks to Russel and friend (sincere apologies but im drawing a blank on your name), Nat, Mav, Leewah for helping run the back track.

Big thanks to Tom, Chris, Jarrod and Al for the drives...Al's car is GREAT fun...old school turbo hit!!!! Maybe RB20s do suck?

Good session on the drink as well...apologies to the ladies for the bad language on the loud speaker at 4am...was trying to round up the drinking troop!

I have the flu now and feel average but I've done the results none the less.

Thanks to Nige and Karl and the Racingline crew for helping to bring us the recent event. Also I'd like to thank everyone that helped run the day. It ran extreemly smoothly and this ensured everyone got their full compliment of runs.

I'd also like to thank everyone that competed on the day for once again bringing the right attidude along and making the day enjoyable for everyone. It was especially great to see so many passengers all through out the day.

Sorry to all that I couldn't make the post event shinanigans but I was thinking of you all as I was sitting in the swamp.

Until the next next one ....

Cheers

Snowy.

PS - Blaise is banned from using my car in future events

PPS - Next time around we need to ensure we have David in the 350z and Nige in the Supra for a quality RWD head to head.

DECA_Final_Results_May_06.zip

For some stupid reason my computer is unable to find/open attachment can someone please email to me, thanks.

**EDIT: Maybe my computer is not so stupid :)

I know my times and result are worse than the last DECA, but i was having to much fun :). My 19's (rear) now require replacing, again :D

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
