Hey all,

Not to sound like a complete noob when i ask this but there are some things that i have been reading in the forums that i don't quite understand. please correct me if i have posted in the wrong forum for this, and the reason im posting in Vic thread, is because il hopefully be joining the club when i get my skyline in melbourne.

the things i dont understand are "DECA", i read this word when i was reading the list of events.

thanks all,

Ozziefly

DECA = Driver Education Centre of Australia

http://www.deca.com.au/FacilitiesShepparton.aspx

"DECA Day" etc refers to the DECA facility in Shepparton that we use quite regularly to have motorkhana and drift training events at.

Nah, im basically city.

I just spent a lot of time down there years ago as my best mate is in the Navy

Its bad enough by my standards put it that way... well, its ok for a while :P

You Navy/Army or AF?

If your coming from somewhere remotely warm, make sure you bring jackets, its filthy down there 3/4 the year being where it is.

But when you go to western port its even worse :)

what il do is, come to a meet and get my membership sorted, get some peeps to look at my car and just intro myself to the crew, if thats ok?

mate you are more than welcome to a meet. the thing is tho most of the smaller ones are not organised by SAUVic but just some of the guys off the forum. fun stuff but im afraid we cant help you with membership. however come to one of the monthly meetings (second tuesday of each month i think) committee members should be there and you'll be able to sign up. or else just do it online like ash sed.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
