I had a ball being my first time at DECA.

Many thanks goes to the orgnisers and volunteers to make the day goes smoothly.

And special thanks goes to Bec for getting SAU hoodies for me, they makes me really warm!

No pictures from me as I was busy understeering a 302rwkw GTR - was fun, and I learned heaps about taming the 'beast'

Will defintely enter another DECA (next one is in November?).

Cheers

Grant

Thanks to all for organising, was a great day. Froze and lost feeling in my legs at one stage while out on the back track, but it was a great spot to be, only had to move a few cones back a couple of times, and I think I managed to get pics of most of the cars on either indian file or 80% of the back track, they are just uploading now. It was great that the rain held off too!

Pity about the turn out for tea, would have been nice to have let Bec know if you were only coming for drinks & were going to be late, but we had fun anyway. Gotta love those fish bowls!

See you all next time :) Can count me in for volunteering again.

Cheers,

Anna

P.S Ill post the link to my images when they are finished uploading. I have around 150 shots and they are taking forever and it keeps crashing.

Heres what I have taken, nothing real special as I wasnt in the mood for photography so I only took them on indian file & 80% runs and only got a few in the arvo.

Well once again had a great day giving the stagea a run around the wangs and the skid pan.No off on the 80% this time.My driving is getting better but my sense of direction is getting worse with 3 WD on the pan so there is no chance of seeing any stats where the hearse sits on the scores.

Hamish bad luck about the seat it did not like 6.4 100kgs bad way to go out..Grant waiting for the next one all ready (November)ha ha

Thanks to all the people that help out on the day micolour for the sponsorship bec ryan timers,starters,flaggies and cone removalists and the food van man.

Pretty good weekend!

Just got home with a MASSIVE THANKS TO SHANE for bringing me home on his way through, awesome.

Also HUGE THANKS TO LEON for lending me his car and trailer to take my broken GTR to a mates place in shep, fantastic.

THANKYOU RUSSELL for letting me drive your BEAST for the day, was awesome fun and a great car to drive...a nice change!

Thanks to all organisers for standing out in the freezing wind, making the day happen.

Was good to catch up and have some fun with everyone.

Awesome day, as always. I think I probably broke some PB on the wangs, but will probably get my worst overall score due to multiple WDs, and cones, but I had a blast doing it and learning the new LSD. Thanks again to all the organisers, volunteers and micolour. Sorry to the poor hat removalist girl who I sent running twice as I came spinning wildly into the gate.

Now I think I'll take a nap, Brad and I got up at 4am, stayed out till 4am and then drove back on a few hours sleep.

I had a great time at DECA as always

The skidpan turned out to be an interesting event with the wet patches

at least you gave her a warning beep we all had a good laugh at that..that puddle of water upset a few cars coming into the gate

Thanks for an awesome weekend guys... was great to come down and meet a few of you

Was a cold morning at whatever wang I was at :D but happy to help.... and the arvo was good watching the skid pan and going for a few runs

I have some pics on my FB if anyone wants a look: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1959...mp;id=652446637

Great time as per usual, big thanks to Ryan, Bec and all the SAU Vic team and volunteers for making it possible :D

+1 on the Taco Baz comment, it seems quite a few people weren't stoked with the service. Must be time to try a new venue I'd say.

Here's a couple of the pics Kate snapped, we didn't get a heap as it was hard to get her out of the car and into the cold :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
