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 :D

This was simply the best part of the day for me...constantly queuing up to take on anyone and everyone! It was only then that I started performing properly on the skidpan. Then when I saw the last guy (the trailer driven R32) not trying I said bugger it and joined him in skidpan stunts lol. Feels good to let loose in a safe and legal environment!

Fantastic work organisers, sponsors and volunteers...I'm certain the November spots will fill up very fast.

Big thanks to everyone for their help running the day. it ran very smoothly and Ryan good work mate..

It was tops to get out in the car again and have some fun... i Hadn't driven the car in almost 12 months so was a shock to the system...

Great to hear that everyone had a good time, thats what these days are all about...

It has been said alot but it is definatly deserved, Thanks to the volunteers that helped us out..

Special thanks to Tim and Campbell on the skid pan ALL DAY.. I don't know how you had a voice at the end of the day after yelling 3-2-1-GO

On a personal note, It was great to get back out and give the Corona a hard time...

I am really happy with how it is going, all my small changes to the front suspension as well as being back up to a lazy 212rwkw's has made it a really fun car....

I had a absolute ball in it... Love the limiter!!! :D

Unfortunately I was knocked out in the arvo after my tailshaft buggered up, which also meant i couldn't drive it home :(

So sunday afternoon was spent getting a lift home from Shep, getting my Patrol and heading back up to Shep with trailer in tow. Loaded the car up and got back to Melb around 9pm..

7.5 hours of driving in one day FTL... especially if it doens't really take you anywhere....

Look forward to seeing everyone up at the next one in November....

Oh yeah.. GET THOSE PICS AND VIDS UP!!!!!!

Bigbird is putting together photos for the meeting tonight. hopefully we can get the damn thing to play...

As for the day itself what did people prefer for the morning layout? obviously you need to have done more than 1 deca to comment :D It wont be too long until we are organising the next deca so we need to decide what to do... there seems to be good reports coming in about the new layout but would you prefer to do it the old way or new way next time??? Also, how did people find the maps? easy? hard?

I didn't drive the last one but I was a passenger all day and drove for this one and I think the layout was good plus we ended up with heaps of time at the end of the day for battles and that was after the incidents of the morning session.

My only suggestion would be more Long Wang time if possible but I might be alone on that one as everyone else seemed to love the skidpan battles.

As for the maps, I think the amount of people who got 'lost' would imply that the maps might have been a touch complicated, but I had no issues with them personally. However, I'm also training up Kate as my navigator so she did a great job keeping me headed in the right direction which helps a lot.

As I've said, I liked the new layout Ryan and with 3 runs it would be even better. It had a really good flow to it and you stayed in the car for a while before a rest on the back track. Thumbs up from me

As for the difficulty of the maps, I thought they were about right considering there was no practice run. You're always going to get a lot of wrong directions out there regardless and I thought they were probably a bit easier to learn than some past ones.

I'd love 3 runs on the back track for sure but I'm all for democracy so whatever the majority of people want is fine with me.

I would like more time out there as well! But whatever... with the new layout, we get more time somewhere and it don't really matter where as long as it's somewhere!

Now if I've done this right everyone should be able to see these pics regardless of if you are on Facebook.

If I haven't then I'm sure someone will tell me.

Yeah it worked mate, just went on a mass tagging spree. I honestly don't remember half those photos from the Taco joint.

To be fair you do look a little 'refreshed' in some of those pics...

Those bloody fishbowls were more potent than they tasted! Although my last mouthful was 90% soggy popcorn, which quickly sent me running for the toilet.

New format rocked!

3 runs at the morning stuff FTW! 3 times at Long wang would be awesome.

Knock out was fun. Maybe 2 lots of knock out coz it doesn't take that long. Maybe 1 of each of the battles.

Maps were on par with any other deca I've been to.

Hahaha - you introduced me to a Skittle Bomb at the Aussie - ive never had one of those before, but they were pretty darn good :banana:

Really? Oh man. I have absolutely no memory of that. I reckon I must have an NA liver too, should stop trying to keep up with you turbo guys.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
