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!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • 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...
