Yeah consistance wins DECA. This will always be the case. If your fast, but hit hats then you almost can't win against a slower, but consistant compedator.

If we would have had another say two events I might have been able to claw back the other 6 points to catch ryan. But with a single day event you need to drive clean to win.

Not that i'm complaining, i'm happy to see ryan win DECA. It would be boring if the one person always won.

I'd Also like to acknowledge Che Boocock, Tom Giordano and Russell Cunningham. You all drove well to beat some faster cars and a fair few 4WD cars.

Also Tim did very well considering Mick broke his car and he had a one DNS. To still get 9th outright is great.

cheers for the results guys,

Happy with 9th overall condiering mick broke my car, and last run i drove an understeer king for the 1st time ( r32gtr)

that was an experiance.....

Grats to ryan , RWD represent. Really happy for you mate

cheers

Congrats Ryan!!!!

It's good to see the 4wd's kicked off the pedestal.

Top effort Che!!

I'm proof that power does not achieve better results. In fact the more power i have the worse i get; In the first year of DECA i came 4th overall, since then it has been spin-outs and burnouts :bunny:

Good work ryan!

Al, I think the first DECA I did was probably the best one because I just drove properly..instead of trying to get the arse end out whenever I can! Although It might be time to try and find a good balance between the two and get some good times down. Next time.

And fun :)

Exactly!

I treat DECA as a fun/drift/thrash day.

It was my intention to do this DECA properly, i even left my new, $660, 400km old, tyres on the rear; but as soon as i went "WD" on the first run (because someone made me go first), i said fark it. Then just wanted to do what i do best!

Thanks guys.

Its cool to see out of the top 5, 4 were RWD. Two of them being Dean and Jamie's Porkas... those things were damn fast. Congrats to Jamie on the fasted back track time. would like to see what they could get around HH.

Standouts to Che and Tom for sure! Russ, considering you spun like 10 times im keen to see what you would have got if you kept it clean!

dang! 5th is a surprise :)

thanks for organising the results guys and well done to everyone that competed

Don't you mean 4th. Well done.

Dean Taylor Porsche 484

Che Boocock R33GTST 484

Thanks to the organisers and volunteers for running a great event. Its great to see so many rwds near the top of the results sheet, and I'm really surprised by my result.

Hopefully Dean and Jamie can bring the Porsches again in the future, it was good to see something a bit different out there, and they were very quick.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
