Hey all! A big thumbs up to the organisers and officials. I was super impressed with how well the day flowed. Brilliant!

I unfortunately wasn't driving, but ended up "navigating" in Ryans VL turbo. We had an absolute blast and I will definatly try and get to the next one.

As for the aftermath.... Lots to drink, a disagreement with a local, and we scored a free ride back to the hotel in a divvy van! Good times!

Cheers and thanks

Glen.

EDIT: Are there any results/times posted anywhere or going to be?

Hahaha you were the tiger mica R33 aka "smokin' joe"??? Enjoyed your antics throughout the day lol. A fellow V-towner too I see :(

Very entertaining.

Monstrous cloud of smoke on the basketball court, another cloud of dust appears in the distance, took out a cone, and that was only the 80% run!

Yer well, I left it out last DECA and the three hour drive each way sucked a big one!!! :(

Seriously I am so over having to refit everything into my boot after hardly any sleep on Saturday night and the mission home. I may just very well leave it all in next time. Bolted to the chassis will pass scrutineering won't it?

Yep, as far as I know anything bolted to the chassis is fine. My subwoofer on the other hand relies on its own weight :(

I fail to see how anything from the boot can reach the drivers seat in the cabin but rules are rules :)

what a weekend, ive only been home for a hour and unpacked.....and i must say it was a awesome long weekend even tho i was crippled. i don't think i'll be driving home ever again on a sunday after a big weekend.

Leigh i hope you do more drinking before you come out with us next time. LOL 2 of the guys threw up this morning ;)

And as a volunteer i'm glad to say iv'e done some time and enjoyed it, altho i was unable to participate in the afternoon and hearing a driver Failed to stop i'm glad i wasn't on the pan in a wheelchair then.

can't wait till next deca. catch

HAHA @ Angry Marks performance at DECA. Were very proud of your smoke shows ;) and the cloud of dust was funny too!

Just want to says a big THANKS to Ryan, Chris, Bec and the many other people that help make this happen so successfully each time, especially the timers and other volunteers.

I had a great time as per usual, was just a shame that I only saw Saturday night out to 10:30pm :\ I miss The Aussie antics.

Also thanks to Martin and Anna for getting some awesome shots, hope to see more soon.

My next-DECA resolution is less drinking for more consistent times!

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
