Awesome day, me and cas have pics of every car going through the checane on the long wang :D Im sure she will post it up soon.

Thanks for letting me drive you car in the knockout chad... makes me regret not bringing my car... bloody loved it!

Bring on november!!! :down::D

First things first. I cannot believe that someone entered would do something so stupid as to let somenone who is not entered get out on that skid pan; and probably unlicenced for that matter too. The fact no-one even asked if it would be alright shows a lack of manners and flat out logic. If anything had happened it would be the end of Deca Days.

This event may just be a bit of fun but there is a serious side to it and we rely on peoples better judgement to make the day safe and succesful. We spent hours on the phone to AASA before this deca fighting to continue with the battles. We will also now be considering wrist bands for entered drivers that will come at yet another cost.

The fact you helped out in the morning Kris has helped you out, we cannot tolerate this and will flat out ban anyone who thinks they can help themselves to a drive.

Take this as a first and last warning.

Moving on...

The day itself went better than we expected once we got through the first round of timed runs. Unfortunately there were a few minor details I missed in the breifing but thankfully there were only a small amount of hiccups in the morning. Well done to everyone, especially the first timers for catching on quickly.

Also thank you to Bec, Mat & officials/helpers, everyone appreciates the work you guys do to enable the days to go ahead.

Results will be up later this week.

Ahh almost forgot to thank you Dane. Appreciate the ride and for letting Kate have a spin as well, she loved it. I think Ryan is going to try and sway her back to the Nissan side though :D

No worries Dan, good to meet you both.

Nissan or Subaru... you can't go wrong! :down:

Also want to shout out a special thanks to the person who did the 3-2-1 count down during the untimed battles (3:30pm-4:30pm)

As everyone else was packing up you were still out there till the very end for the select few who didnt want to get off the skidpan haha :)

HUGE thanks to everyone who helped out on the day - we simply couldnt run these days without volunteers, so it is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks to Micolour for being a fantastic event sponsor and for being so dedicated!!! Breaking the diff in Shepparton late Friday arvo, driving back to Melbourne to fix it and then coming back to Shep to compete on the Saturday was a massive effort. Well done guys.

Was great to see so many new faces enjoying themselves and is awesome to hear such good feedback on the event.

Juliette - am glad your OK and hope you get everything fixed ASAP.

Crossy - am hoping you got home safe last night.

Hope to see you all around soon.

A huge thanks to the organisers and Micolour for putting on yet another awesome day!!

Highlight of the day for me was having a go in Al's car on the skid pan in the afternoon, can't remember the last time I had a bigger smile on my face :P - thanks again buddy!!

Looking forward to seeing more pics and vids!

I still want that rematch!

You were heaps quicker off the line but im sure id catch up to you back to the finish (if i didnt spin out that is :blink:)

Next time, you-me deca, its on! :)

Juliette - am glad your OK and hope you get everything fixed ASAP.

Thanks Bec :thumbsup: Will assess what needs replacing this weekend, fix the bodywork in maybe a few weeks then get onto the mechanicals. Shaken, but not stirred :D

Another fantastic DECA! Me and Campbell had a great time on the skidpan all day watching the action from up close! The new setup worked really well and things ran pretty smoothly. Once again thanks Luke for another crazy burnout! Dinner was as always wild and was good to meet a lot of new faces. Can't wait for November.

**Except Tim and Campbell..... Eat D$!

Thanks Russell for your wise words, and for waking us up on Sunday at 5:30am!

Special mention to Campbell and Tim for their photographic efforts, I think I laughed hardest at pics you guys are in - bloody posers :(

What can i say, the camera loves us :D

    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
