As said massive weekend.

Thanks to all that put this weekend together

And a big thanks you to all that helped out yesterday.

I can still taste them fuel shots.. what was that ??

I picked up the green helmet and blue jumper and took them back to the motel . But they were taken from my ute so i thought they were claimed.

I will chase up who took them and get back to ya.

Cheers.

"This extraordinarily strong spirit (95% alc/vol) needs to be treated with respect. It is questionable whether the human body is meant to digest such strong substances. Being effectively pure ethyl-alcohol, it is more commonly used in cooking, for medicinal purposes or by home perfume makers. One customer recommends it above all else as therapy for arthritic pain, and has been massaging his joints with it for years!

At any rate, the premium price of this Pure Spirit goes some way to ensure it is used sparingly and thoughtfully. Drunk diluted & chilled it traditionally makes a fine accompaniment to fish dishes. 95% alc/vol "

I was VERY VERY sick....Thanks Keiren (I think?)

WOW is all i can say about this weekend.

Friday was awesome having a few drinks and talking garbage, was damn good as usual.

Doing timing on the long wang was pretty good; having the quick guys absolutely roaring towards you mid 3rd then having the car step out slightly coming into the gate under brakes pointing towards me was pretty breathtaking :)

It was also good to see the little differences between the quicker guys...i may have noticed a few things that will help so WATCH OUT next time!

Also having a ride in Pauls GTR, freaking crazy; Leons 180, awesome; and Timmy and Campbells, pisser; was seriously awesome fun. Some really good slides happening there. Loved Shanes 4 wheel slides :D

Saturday night....pwoahhhhh....2 spiritus shots (thanks alot Kieran!), great RSL food, 33 $4 dollar vodkas in one go, boobs at Rawhide, what more do I need to say...

Definately a standout deca weekend...and I didnt even drive :)

another great deca :thumbsup: i really liked the MK layouts. can't really slide around like some of the turbo cars but the handbrake was getting a good workout. thanks to the organisers and the officials who helped out :cheers:

Great time as per usual.

Food much better and far quicker than taco as well..tho might go back there next weekend for a fishbowl or 2..

A massive thanks to all of those that helped out.

HOWEVER, we really need mroe helpers next time.

we ended up with many people standing around doing nothing and having to tag drivers in and out of the timing.

the short of it, if that keeps going we won;t be able to run these events. and with the many stoppages for helpers means less track time as well.

enough doom and gloom bring on pics and results!!!!

Another exceptionally well run event by SAU!

Was great to meet some of the SAU new-schoolers & run a muck with the usual faces!

33 vodkas was just an epic concept & I still can't beleive we managed to get served them all! Go Shepparton! Lol!

I'll upload some videos of teh green wheeled STI shortly...

Daz & Lisa.

I saw the pic on facebook when I got back to the motel and thought "WTF - How the hell is that responsible service of alcohol" LOL, cant complain though - at $4 each it was a good price!

Great event, very well run

Had an amazing time

Thanks to the organisers for putting up such an awesome day

Can't wait for the next one

Here's a short video of some of my runs (not the best driving)

Edited by Undefined

I swear DECA just keeps getting better and better. Massive thanks to all the organisers, helpers, those that gave me rides and advice. Big thanks to... was it Wayne? (I'm terrible with names) the guy who stood out in the sun all day on the skidpan. Layouts were awesome this time too. I swear that last battle layout was designed for my car as my gears would rev out just as I reached each cone.

My appologies for the E95 shots, I'm unsure if all these thanks are genuine or sarcastic.

What amazed me more than the 33 (+15 ordered 5min later) vodka drinks was how fast they vanished! One moment we have a table full, 10minutes later they're all gone.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
