Import Monster Sau-Vic Deca - Round 2 2011 Wrap Up Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok everyone... ...I've hope you've got plenty of crackers because I've brought the CHEESE!!!...

And thanks to everyone who's PMed me about footage of you on the track and the skid pan. I'm getting to them as quick as I can. I hope this wets your appetite to what you're getting. :thumbsup:

I'd just like to ask that if you do post any of my footage up on YouTube in your own channels, (and you're a welcome to do so), please link to SAU Vic TV in the description and Tags and anywhere and everywhere else as much as you can. The more traffic to SAU Vic TV and the forums here gives the club more exposure in the wider community.

DECA - 1 day and 2 nights of coolness

Volunteers - Thank you so much for your time once again, Without doing what you guys do the day will not happen.

People that normaly drive at DECA and for whatever reason could not drive on the day and to still came up and help is a sign that you really do put back into the club.

Campbell - you are one crazy dude. :worship: I know when the results come out they are going to tell me what I already know... that you beat me in my own car... :rant:

Bec - The more I get involved in the organisation of these days, the more that I see you do for the club! you are a freak and the club is REALLY lucky to have you.

Ryan - Once again you kicked my ass, thanks for that.

For those who did know him that well don't know how much time and thought that he puts into these days and once again thanks for teaching me how to run these days well

Import Monster - Thanks for getting on board to sponser a great event and even better to see you out and amongst it all! Nice car by the way.

I cant wait for the next one... everyone needs do an anti-rain dance before we go

Messy Saturday night was messy. I'm still suffering from pretty much no sleep Friday and Saturday night. Thanks all for a great weekend and thanks to everyone who gave me passenger rides in the arvo :)

Was very interesting watching how early/long people carried the throttle/speed over the main rise into the 2nd chicane, with the dual entered cars highlighting how much familiarity/ballz with the car is important. 2 examples that stood out for me were; Ryan/Russ with both getting on the power quite early & carrying heaps of speed although Russ was generally more sideways/slightly slower at the same-time. The other being the 964-RS which was bouncing on limiter for almost a second going into the back sweeper with the first driver after barely cleaning the 2nd chicane cones where as the second driver who was still carrying more speed than most over the top, but with more tentative throttle application nor as aggressive braking/driving line, couldn't quite match the limiter bash into the same corner. Having driven the back track in this orientation quite a few times, it clearly shows where a bigger set of goolies are required to be quick!

Anyone who likes taking photos/videos I can highly recommend volunteering as a spotter on the back track, as you'll get some great footage/shots which had me kicking myself for being lazy :(

Glad everyone had a great day, big thanks to the organisers for putting in the time to make the day happen, no rain for the next one and more complexity in the skid pan courses :)

LAITH THAT IS FREAKIN AWESOME!! Shared and linked :)

Thanks... ...It's just a template "trailer"...

I think I got the best spot for the Long Wang right away... ...I could zoom in on the start... ...Get people coming over and down the hill... ...then coming out of the back and into the chicane... ...And at a distance the basketball court and the finish...

As for the skid pan... ...My first choice wasn't so good because as the sun came down the cars all turned black... >_< ...But once around the other side it looks so much better...

Thanks for putting this on guys. It was a good day and was fun seeing what some of the other cars can do. I wasnt really focused on times, more just having some fun so took the oppertunity to step it out as much as possible :P

A small clip i put together last night for shits'n'giggles :

Cheers, Joe

I quite enjoyed the wet skidpan in the morning.

Added a totally different challenge to it all, I was very impressed with the AD08s and how they were totally predictable in the wet when sliding a GTR. Quite surprising indeed.

well sounds like it was a good DECA. im hoping i can enter the next one in my new evo. was going to say and give you guys a run for your money but im a shit driver, so i wouldnt worry about that lol.

Wow that was fast.

And from that you can see the impact the wet had on the guys on the skid pan in the morning.

good for me tho ;)

Ryan awesome job, even with the bad conditions u guys had to come out on top is a great drive.

Massive thanks to all involved! Will expand on this tomorrow when I can get on a PC and off my iPhone.

As for the results, whoever said Supras were at home in the water weren't wrong! I think i just need more balls when it comes to the wangs, they let my score down terriably.

wow that was quick with the results

didn't place too badly with the way i was sliding around lol

car definitely did not like the long wang in the wet, the only spot it liked on the long wang was the basketball court lol

Ryan/Russ with both getting on the power quite early & carrying heaps of speed although Russ was generally more sideways/slightly slower at the same-time.

I hope someone got video of the last time I did the long wang. I had 2 big corrections going over the hill. Would be good to watch.

Ryan have you got it on the go-pro?

Summary of my day was wet = sucked balls... dry = had heaps of fun in Ryans car. Long wang runs were the highlight. :)

Thanks Aaron from import monster for making the day possible and for being a good bloke and to Reon, Bec, Ryan, Anna and all volunteers.

Looking at the results, currently the more people wrong direction, the penalty points incured by any driver are significantly reduced as compared to cone strike or missed start elsewhere.

Net result seems that the more complex or slippery it is, the less impact that that course will have on the events outcome.

Not sure how one can score higher with a WD than someone with a single cone strike ...

    • 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.
