Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for sacrificing their spare time to run an awesome event. Without these people, such events would not exist. THANK-YOU! :(

I had a ball as usual. There should be a "Best Entertainer" category. Where you lack in driving talent you make up with smoke! :P

Hope there are plenty of pics!

this the sort of thing u looking for Al?

Keen on footage as well, fingers crossed someone caught the green Datsun's short defiance of gravity!

haha, hopefully. I thought he was going to topple. That was some massive two wheel action :(

Thanks the Leon, Wayne, Shane & Crew for letting me stay with them, and Leon and Wayne and Rob for taking me out on the skidpan in the afternoon. Glad I could help, I should have brought a chair though. Legs and back are a bit sore today from so much standing :P Lots of a great driving, and of course some entertaining skids courtesy of Al as per usual hehe

My hat has made it back to Melbourne, but someone popped my cock and balls balloon last night :(

To anyone who cares, I started learning to drive manual today when I got back. I'm wrecked :)

good event guys, organising the food van was a great idea, saves a lot of time for the committee and offers some different food

some of the battles looked fantastic, and very challenging. the driving skills of some of the guys has improved ten fold all round

one that came to mind was the p plater in the 33 GTS he was amazing for a p plater and handled very well

Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers.

Also a big thanks to all photographers, I think all will agree that getting photos/video's after the event of your car is one of the most exciting parts of the experience since we never get to see ourselves from the outside.

I lost my nerve in a big way after nearly tipping the car over in a place that you shouldn't be able to roll a car and will contribute that to being a couple of seconds off the pace on the wangs but I know frysie and Russ won't take any excuses!

I really enjoyed watching nick thrash his new GTR until it carked it (I hope it's not that bad mate) as well as Tim in the silver machine. It's also a pleasure to watch Chris/Ryan going out time and again throwing down clean runs. Did you guys end up deciding who's car you're going to both drive to finally settle who's the better peddler?

Martin THANKS!!

I will send my request on Wednesday :)

Also forgot to say a BIG THANKS to Dave (Gazelle D), for helping me out with my fire extinguisher, my day could have been over before it started. THANKS MATE :(

No probz AL, i will always do what i can to help ! ironicly i needed help after my first 80% run on long/mini wang as i had discovered my seat belt buckle had issues :P

I was able to rectify the problem and was let back in out of sequence by bec, THANK You !

unfortunetly i was unable to take passengers from there on but my mates michael and mark helped me rip my seats out in minutes to try rectify the problem. I'll probly invest in some bucket's and harness before next meet.

Here is a video that I quickly edited this arvo (whilst nursing a hangover!) I only had video footage of Lukes runs due to being busy helping out

Awesome event and a big thanks to the organisers and volunteers :)

Can't wait to see the vids from the pan :rofl: I haven't done DECA for at least 3 years and that was in the gtst...while I didn't miss the elec problems I had with the gtst at the time I realized that I missed those handbrake turns after my first run on the pan :cool:

Was some great driving by all and good to see that there were no 'incidents' - Nick I hope all isn't bad news and that you'll be back out there in no time.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
