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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
