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

Kyle

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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
