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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
