Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers who once again ran a tight ship.

Had a ball as usual and doing in the 135i was a whole new experience. Finally got to turn traction control off without the risk of smashing into anything. RWD slidage is farking awesome!

Most comfy drive to and from Shep I've ever had!

No one else has any photos to post? :blink:

Sorry I didnt get any this time due to being out on the skid pan busy with timing etc, hopefully some others have some :)

So the 2010 Championship is over! 4 sold out Decas in one year means its clearly not time to give these things up!... Which we were if it was not for the likes of Leon and Bec!

I will say however, one of the most frustrating things about running a DECA is relying on factors you have no control over. A big one is VOLUNTEERS!! Over the past 25 decas we have gone from an abundance of volunteers where we had 3 people alone cooking the bbq to practically begging for people to help (on the day!). In the past a large number of volunteers were also competitors who for some reason or another did not enter but were still happy to lend a hand, for the sake of giving something back to the event.

Sau Decas are much more like a weekend away with mates than an event out to make money. If thats all we wanted to do it sure wouldnt cost $85 and noone involved would bother with it.

That being said, if we cannot manage to get Volunteers EASILY next year 1 of 2 things will happen. 1st is everyone gets over busting their asses with no help and cant be bothered running events or 2, we hire someone like Race Soloutions who charge for their services and we simply jack the price up another $50 to cover the costs... pretty silly considering we only need 12 people for the first half of the day and 6 for the afternoon...

Enough beating the volunteers horse, its nearly dead. Hopefully 2011 is the year of the DECA helper!

Again, everyone involved with the incident, thankyou for your help. Especially to the guys who ran them to the hospital.

Thanks to the Volunteers, Bec, Anna, Joey, Bus stop flaggy :blink:, Sandeep and Co, our mini wang Starter Don?, Wayne and Mick. and our scruteneers Russ, Tim and possibly Ash?? plus everyone who helped in the afternoon battles.

Also, all the guys who helped pack up, Cheers!

Leon will be doing results shortly. Thanks to Sandeep we now have a much quicker way of doing Results which should be all sorted for next deca. just ironing out a few things this time round.

See everyone at the final meeting for the year.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
