Thought I'd make one of these, save having our comments extend the length of the organisation thread.

Great day as always. Weather turned out for the best (if not a tiny bit hot at times) and everyone was pretty well behaved. Good turnout and mix of cars. Shame we ran out of time in the arvo for the knockout and random battles, but we still got all the timed events done. Massive thanks to Bec & Ryan, all the volunteers who stood in the sun all day for timing, and MiColour for sponsoring the event.

P.S. Thanks to the people who lent me screwdrivers during subwoofer removal and reinstallation process ;)

Over to you...

was good to see a lot of new faces and some interesting cars.

Thankyou once again to the organisers and everyone who made the trip. Also Taco Baz + drinks afterwards was great as per usual ;)

So very very very tired now, ZzzzzzZzz's are calling. Look forward to seeing your pics/videos when everyone is back to reality.

thanx to everyone that made it up there, and a massive thanx to ryan, schmicko, thomo and bec for all the hard work!

i really had no idea just how slippery that skidpan was gonna be lol!

i started on the bloody mary's when i got home, now i'm onto beers/vodka.... i really didn't think i could drink any more... ;)

Thanks to all the organisers and other volunteers for a great day. Looking forward to helping out at the next one!

Im currently uploading all my pics to flickr then I'll post the link, trouble is silly me decided I would upload them in full quality for everyone to just save rather than email asking but I had over 150 photographs and its been running for 6 hours so far and only 63% complete lol, Im sure it will get there eventually.

Awesome day! Had an absolute blast.

Met some cool people, learnt a lot about my car, discovered the handbrake and I actually remember most of what happened after taco bells this time!

Big thanks to all the organizers, Micolour and all the volunteers.

Would like to thank all the volunteers and event organisers who stood out in the sun all day for us! Especially Bec, i always felt guilty when lining up for the long wang ;) The day wouldnt work if it wasnt for all your help

I hope all the deca attendees shouted you all drinks cause you lot deserve them!

Thanks also to all the photographers standing out in the sun! Especially the one at the long-wang basketball court and the one on the skidpan (sorry dont know your name, you were sticking on a go-pro camera on cars)

Thanks again all!

brilliant weekend, had a blast and got to meet a whole lot of poeple.

must say thanks to all the organisers and volunteers as it just wouldn't have been possible without you.

i'll definately be back for the next one.

And without further ado - my pics, Further proof that being a volunteer is an awesome job as you are right in the midst of the action.

They need some major cropping and some photo adjustments but havent had the time yet!

    • 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?
