Hot, but a great day IMO.

Top stuff from all the volunteers out there in the weather, Very well done and many thanks.

Good to try out a variation on the Lancer theme today.

You should see lots more of the dark green incarnation over the year. FWD +1

looking forward to round two now.

Warm...but awesome day!

Thanks for all those who made it possible, nice work.

Who/where/how to get a copy of the footege(self) from the skid pan?

Short of it be patient pics and vid will get posted as ppl get a chance.

was a GREAT deca!

really enjoyed the maps, and the megaminiwang was 100 times better than the stock miniwang.

flying finishes are FTW! get the cars through faster

HUGE thanx to Leon, Ryan, Bec and all the guys that make this event happen.

also huge thanx to the volunteers!!!!!! you guys did an awesome job in the heat!

well i made it through the day unharmed even in the 40 deg heat! had a few great runs on the pan!

definitely the best driving i've done at a DECA event!

cant wait for round 2!!!!

So that's me done for a bit, been abusing Katie's Mum's internets for the afternoon.

there are a LOT more videos but will take a bit of time to upload (approx 16Gig of them)

so will start uploading when I get home tomorrow.

Legend thanks Martin.

First off, thanks to the SAU organisers and Import Monster for supporting/sponsoring! Was a really well structured day and plenty of action to be had, was abit hot but we got through it. I must say, having done some track work but never a Deca Day - the driving skills of you Nissan people was an eye opener! I was the guy getting around in the red telly-tubby suit :P Most of my skid pan runs were near horrendous but I did get 1 or 2 half decent runs. The Long Mini Wang track was sweet however!

(Yeh I mis-shifted from 1st to 4th half way through haha)

Also big thanks to Leon? for answering my questions via PM prior to the event, Elvis for letting me ride shotgun and stuffing up your run as well from being nav and all the guys who said hi/commented on the boat - was an awesome day, I'd definitely come back!

I had heaps of fun. I've also learn a bit more about my car. :thumbsup: Lots of new smells and sounds coming from it. But because it was my first time competing I got no where near the amount of video I wanted to get. >_<

so for the morning sessions I got all bar 2 when I had to change a battery.

for the battles I got footage of every-one in the left lane and a little bit of the right lane as well.

and a bit of the expressions sessions at the end of the day

all up about 240 videos

well i made it through the day unharmed even in the 40 deg heat! had a few great runs on the pan!

Dude, I'm pretty sure we were all fairly "harmed" from the night before, and lack of sleep.

But huge thanks to everyone that organized it and the volunteers really enjoyed my first DECCA and hope to be back soon.

thanks to all of the volunteers, SAU organisers and import monster, that was a great DECA. :worship: I can't wait for round 2 now, the car is so different to drive now but I am loving the turbo power. On low boost it's actually a lot better on the skidpad than I thought it would be and it was pretty fun on the back track, especially getting loose over those hills. see you all next time :thumbsup:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
