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!

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
