does it have a Silver & Red sticker on it with AS1698 on it (or a Snell or equivalent sticker) and is it in good condition (no cracks)?

Quick question, I'm looking at coming to the next DECA coming up but I only have a Fox V3 helmet, would it be track legal?

Helmet

Want to thank every one that took me for a spin during the afternoon battles. Special mention goes to Ash and his GTR, my first time experiencincg a GTR launch and wow... And also to NutR33, what a mental ride. Such a fitting number plate, both you and that car are definitely nuts.

Just wanted to say thanks to all that made the day possible.

Also a special thanks to Russ for the quicksteel and Luke for the assistance when I cracked my radiator.

A lil disapointed that I only got one run on the wang, but was great to be able to get out onto the skidpan in the arvo.

I'm aiming to get to all four DECA's for 2012... with a new radiator of course! haha

Marty... can you please message or post up any links if you come across any video of me on the skidpan? :rolleyes:

What an awesome day it was, pity about the heat but it didn't seem to affect too many cars.

Thanks to all that help make theses days happen, most importantly those like Wayne, Julies, Anna and all the other volunteers who stood out in the sun all day for our enjoyment.

My highlight for the day was drifting the hairpin on the mini Wang and then 150+km toasting the rear tyres on the long wang, stupid but fun at the same time as I think Femno who was in the car will agree.

If anyone has footage of my car feel free to post it on YouTube, just tag it as NUTR33, there is a bit of a collection starting there.

Cheers Luke

Woohoooo I AM ALIVE!

An awesome DECA, I must admit I was ready to call it quits by lunchtime and was feeling preety average (No- I didnt drink the night before!!) so the shade tent on the pan although it was trying to blow away was such a great idea. Thanks to all for their hard work in completing another round successfully :) Without the volunteers and organisers things like this wouldnt happen. Was a great change sitting around drinking/eating pizza and talking crap most of the night at the motel Saturday night too, quite enjoyable and allowed us to get to know a few of those who we didnt already know.

I wont be around for round 2 (booo!) but look forward to round 3!

P.S I am starting a "NUTR33 DECA tyre fund" any donations/sponsorships welcome :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Thanks to everyone - fun day even with the heat!

Props to those who stood out there in the sun. I've done it before, and it's pretty full on.

Rear diff is 100% farked now. Single spinning all over the place, made skidpan stuff a bit of mission impossible...

Will have that fixed before the next one :)

So seems work activated a nice new Internet connection...so I thought best to test it...

anyhow 14 gig in a morning makes me think it is now ok for the rest of work to use.

will do low res ones tomorrow as well basically I cannot be bothered today.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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!
    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
