Thread for everything here :D

Great day yesterday from my point of view. Was great to get back into the seat and drive a GTR again, so heaps of thanks to Mick & Rick for lending the use of the R34 GTR for the day. Really do love the flying finishes and Mega Mini Wang :D

Epic thanks to all Volunteers/Officials standing there in 35+ degrees. Having done it before, i know it's pretty harsh, so big sombrero's of to you all once again!

thanks to all the officials and volunteers on making this possible. it was my first event and it was awesome. the long wang was soo much fun, i really enjoyed the basketball court. looking forward to see the photos that were taken on the day.

thanks guys

Had fun doing the finisher at the skid pan, the views are better there than out of the pan. Had slight scare from cars overshooting into the 'garage' especially that C63...

Got burnt in various parts of the body, I guess it's fair compromise :P

First time volunteer, would do again if I don't enter next one.

Lol... thanks for volunteering.. guys like you are always needed to make events like this successful..

I came in a bit hot into the garage... but I didnt hit the cone at the end! :D

Thanks for the best organised/run DECA i've been to in the 15 years i've competed in them. Previous thoughts about a Skyline club day were wrong. You guys/girls killed it . Thanks to all that helped out. Some great cars on the day. Great to see the C 63 and RS 5 out there, those little Dattos and the VK (PROVEN)

Thanks again. Look forward to doing more events with SAU. Maybe HH next time.

Cheers

Rik (Black Commondore) :yes:

Well done to the organisers for another great Deca....

Was good to get Kimba the STI out for the first time and great to see a full field at Deca.

Highlights -

- Passenger runs in Craigs RS5, Erics C63, Leons 180 and bringing back memories of my S15 days with Jovan also now known as Mr.Clutch Kick, Jovan you should have been a drifter.

- Flying finsh on the Mini and Long Wang is awesome.

- Amazing Oysters poolside at the 'other' Hotel with Eric, Roblet, Jess and Jovan, You guys rock!

- Snowy and his shinnanigans.... It's been a while between drinks. Thanks for the fun times :)

- One Direction Boy Band in the middle of Shepparton, what are the chances of that happening!

- Dancing with Bec to cheesy music.

Lowlights -

- Final Battle should have been named 'Understeer'

To the volunteers and everyone else that helped out, It was so hot out there and the event could not run without you so thanks soooo much!

I'm glad I woke up with no hangover and was home in Melbourne by 10.30am, so I could hit the books for Uni....

See you at the next one....

Justine :)

Good work Grant and other volunteers.

Missed this one for some waterskiing but looking forward to the next one in a 'different' car :)

Had a great time as always, I love warm DECA's... Sure its annoying during the actual event, but the pool and cold beers definitely make up for it :D

Somehow I didn't have any problems during the main event, but then lost a few exhaust bolts on the way home.

Sorry for everyone driving anywhere near me between Shep and Nagambie, Front Pipe -> Atmo tends to make a bit of noise, haha.

Thanks again to all the organisers, officials, volunteers and wayne for wrangling them and Import Monster. And to Bec and Ryan for all the work behind the scenes that we never see.

Bring on Feb(??) 2013 :D

A massive thanks to the organisers and volunteers for making the day happen! As usual it was an awesome day with MUCH fun had by all involved. With out you guys none of the fun would happen so you guys and girls ROCK!!

Car update:

Car ran awesome with only a couple of little issues

- Split an oil line on my catch can which squirted oil across the carbys making it run like a chaff cutter at one point

- Shit a wheel bearing on the second last run of the day (still did the last run anyway ;))

I am gonna try and have my rear brake upgrade and hydraulic hand brake in for the next one!!!

Look forward to seeing all you maniacs there next time BRING IT ON!!!!!! :woot:

thanks to all the organisers and volunteers! i had heaps of fun, heat got to me a little bit but still learnt a fair bit, especially as the car being a little different to the previous deca. :)

looking forward to the next one!

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
