Looks like you all had a great weekend.

I hate missing out on DECA..oh well next time..

Also great pics guys... :cheers:

x2 :blush:

i'm moving to WA for a year in Jan, but i'm going to come back over and take the cobwebs off my car and have a play with you guys again!! (if i'm allowed :ph34r::w00t:)

Well I don't know where to start, maybe with the highlights!

- The Honeymoon suite, do i need to say anymore!

- Big Red is the most awesome car on the planet (Seriously!), soooo much fun to drive! :ph34r::cheers:

- Having Rob, Mark & Sean at their first Deca! Thanks for coming up guys, i'm sure you will be back.

- Taco Bills and the hot sauce, possibly the worst experience of my entire life! And the culprit is still feeling very average about the whole 'incident'.

- Mav learning how to pole dance at the strippers on the main stage, best $40 we've ever spent and i've never laughed soo much!

- Handbags laughing so hard at Mav on the main stage at the stippers that he fell off his chair :blush:

- Vadg you are a legend! Thanks for being a good sport! :rant:

- The 8 hour mission home, Shepparton to Brighton (to drop Big Red off) to Eltham (to drop the trailer off) to Brighton (to drop the X5 off) to Malvern (Finally home). Such an exhausting day!

- Thanks to the officials for making that event happen, the conditions were terrible, sooo hot with so many flies, you guys did really well!

That's about it for now.

Looking forward to the next one! :w00t:

Thanks for inviting me Juzzy and organising everything else for us, had a ball, even though i dont think i successfully completed one driving task.

As for the hot sauce incident.... the guilty puppydog look on his face as if he was getting told off for shitting on the carpet when you were having words with him out the back of Taco Bills..... priceless.

Sorry you had to go though that agony for our entertainment. As for the naughty puggydog you are an evil evil person to pull a gag like that knowing how much trouble you were getting yourself into. I love it.

Thanks for everybody who gave their time over the weekend for us so we could just drive in and tear up. Cheers.

Hey can someone / anyone with video footage and skills please put together a battles only vid for me?

Do you want like a mixed together sorta of clip... with music and editing and stuff or just the raw footage?

Also do you want deca just gone only or clips from any deca...

I can probably have a bit of a play tonight....

Matt anything you want to put together is fine. Infact if you have something from past DECA's as well that would be super as the battles this time weren't regularly as close as some previous ones we have done.

And not necessarily of me / my car but of any good ones is what I am after.

i took my other one to Beaurepairs on Monday and it was $29 for them to fix

so will just take this one there tomorrow

they said about the first one that it was fairly close to the edge so keep an eye on it

this one, i couldnt see a nail sticking out but when i was changing it, i could hear it hissing

Also, out of interest, did anyone else end up with screws in their tyre? I woke up sunday morning to find 1 almost deflated front right tyre, and about 4 screws in my left rear tyre, which I know for a fact I got from the DECA facility. Rather disappointed that I now have one tyre which is pretty much fubar, and another that I will need to get repaired, damaged from screws floating around at DECA lol.

All the screws came from bigred's boot locking machanism - j/k

Results are still being processed. Sorry!

I havn't been home any night this week so far, and tonight is no different. I'll see what I can do.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
