Random Dude....ahh your the dude that tried to clean us up in battle 1.....did get some great footage of u sliding in towards us....

Haha... yeah I lost the plot on that one... no practice run and heatstroke = lots of sliding and missing the cones and the gate. Would love to see the footage :D

Another greatly successful and fun DECA!!

Thanks to all who gave up their time to make the event run smoothly.

I loved my newly gained response and torque; probably a little too much :D.

A little hairy moment on the back-track when the ass end got light over the crest and directed me off road. Kept a level head, eased off the power and steered into the dirt then after about 50m eased the car back on the black and got back into it.

Hopefully by next DECA i'll have my suspension sorted.

Thanks Martin for the clips, they look great!!

ok all video's are now uploaded..enjoy.

Thanks. You took some good vids of me and Baxter driving the Z. Thanks for that. The aus300zx members will be pleased. I also linked to vids of Ben, who is one of the aus300 forum moderators, driving the burgundy jspec imports R33.

Thanks to everyone that made the day run as smoothly as it did. It was my first time and definately won't be my last.

Also much thanks to the AA group, i managed to go through a whole year without getting pissed....one night with you guys and that went down the drain...lol

Thanks again to all those involved...

My car picked up a nasty vacuum leak sometime between the start of a run and the end.

Let's hope it's a hose or a aac or something simple. You get some "piss off hoon" looks from people at traffic lights when your car idles between 1850 and 1950rpm and pulses..... It very tiring driving to work and having the damn thing surge at 60kph.

Anywho, Had and awesome day, decided that I was going to go FTW this deca and not hack it up on the skid pan so I'm SUPER KEEN to get the results.

Bring them on!

Pete - I think both you and Adam (and maybe Ryan but I didn't get to see much of him during the day) showed that you can drive sideways AND fast at the same time. It was very impressive to watch and showed a lot of skill.

I think some of the 1st timers might have been a bit awed by some of the driving being done but really most of the skills have just come from being regular attendants at these days. We really need to get DavidM back as in the early days he was in a league of his own in RWD.

...Poite, i have no idea how you get the power down on street tyres. My thing is fun on streets but i couldnt control it.

...i had been doing so well with the booz since NYE...im kind of pissed off with myself that i fell off the wagon so hard. Mostly because i was enjoying having so much cash from the absence of big nights. I really need to strap a hidden camera to myself and see if i can sell my benders to VH1 or something :mellow:

Well what another fantastic weekend, I had a great day and must admit that those battle runs are my favorite of all the ones we have done.

They are a good pace and loads of fun!!

Thanks to everyone who helped out on the day. Great to meet some new members. Aaron & Tim, you guys did really well and I look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Feeling very exhausted after our trek from Shepparton to Portsea and back to Brighton yesterday for dinner, Finally got home at 9.30 last night.

But it was all worth it!! :mellow: FUN FUN FUN!

it was my first deca, and i can say that i absolutely loved it. For that i have to thank all the officials and volunteers.

even though i was quite slow and i reckon that i doubled the cones average single handedly :-) i still had a lot of fun. Thankx to Alan and James for letting me be a passenger in their cars and Sam for being a passenger in my car and directing me.

i will finish by saying, I will be back.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
