Thanks scotsman

I for the first time talking about DECA without saying crap I would like to say to those that are from VIC and unable to enter that I am sorry. you lot put on such a great event. Last time we traveled down to watch but this time we are entering so I know how you feel.

But even though you lot may not be able to enter, come for the fun Saturday night is a blast and Im sure some of the Vics can show you to sleep under your car when you have lost the room key!

anyway

thanks to all the guys and gals putting together such a fun event .

Oh NSWFTW !!!!!!!!!

Hmmm indeed

Scotsman, out of interest, was there any spots actually held for new VIC members or VIC members who have not competed at DECA before?

I noticed that you said in another thread there was going to be 5 spots held for newbies, and 50 spots all up.

The list appears to be growing with more people slotted in attending but no one else in the reserves list moving up....

I understand your dilemma with trying to keep everyone happy but was just wondering if you could explain a little further on that?

thanks

There are more than five people on the list that have not competed in a DECA before. So yes this has been done but for clarification this rule was not meant to apply only to SAU members. DECA is, and will remain an open event - The AASA public liability insurance we get is for a Multi-club motorkhana. I already increased the usualy 50 spots we take on the first day to 56, because there were a lot of entries coming in.

It is true that I have added one additional spot to the main list since the first day the list was posted. But only one! This was due to an error on my behalf as I missed an email that came through from a member. So that person should have been on the list anyway, as the timing was before the entry list was full. It's just that I was a little tied up with the barrage of faxed that poured in constantly for 2 hours straight.

Look, basically i'm becoming tired of these constant querries relating to the fairness of DECA entries. Please all be aware that I attempt to be as fair as possible to all, and I have changed the way we accept entries to try to make if fairer.

I'm sorry that we can't please everyone, but it's simply a limited spots event.

At the end of the day it's more than likely that only 5+ people who have sent me an entry form will miss out anyway.

I've only noticed 1 person being slotted in - Matt, 57. I'm pretty sure he is one of these people who haven't competed at DECA before, so he's been slotted in. But i'm only making an educated guess here.

haha , couldnt disagree more Big nuts

This is going to be a Slaughter and Vic’s need to be prepared to lose in such a way as we might as well sell our cars at the end of the event as to not shame the Skyline and SAU name.

Mexicans are wrong to think that we can beat any other state let alone pretend that we can actually drive. It will be miracles if any Vic’s even make the journey to Shepparton for the event without getting lost.

I and the rest of VIC SAU would like to say we are sorry for trying to prove to all NSW members that we are better as this is just a lie and to prove this at DECA and if I can find my way there, is to by all NSW people a round of drinks, And if any NSW people try to return the favour I will throw the biggest tanty and be very upset.

I hope you can forgive me and the rest of VIC SAU and what ever you say to us about our driving ability we will greatly appreciate all NSW wise words.

is it about time that people start selling their places to the highest bidder :-)

seeing its so popular maybe we do more or make it a 2 day event.... except i understand the issue of finding volunteers for two days could be a problem.... maybe we could do like WRX club, where you have to volunteer atleast 1 event per year.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that you will always be under pressure from people who don't make it onto the list. I honestly feel lucky enough that I am on the reserves which quite possibly will give me an opportunity to attend as there always seems to be drop outs. I don't envy your position at all and can safely say that I wouldn't want to be in your position. It's hard enough doing a week's paid work, let alone organising events like this :thumbsup:

I really only asked because it was in my mind and thought maybe a few people who aren't on the list might be thinking the same thing. I never suggested that the entry system was unfair. It was a simple question and you gave me the answer. End of story.

PS. Who wants to invest in "the great wall of victoria" built to keep out the south walshman :)

Thanks Syphon - I know you were only asking.

At this stage we wont be doing a two day event. A volunteer system has crossed my mind.

I think it's not realy a big issue, as we never have more than like three - five people that miss out. Basicaly to do a two day event we would need around 90 - 100 entries, and were not getting near that. Sure, probably a few people don't bother sending an entry in after the event hits 55, but I doubt if we would get to 100.

Plus a two day event would mean that the Sat night festivities would be a little lame.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
