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!

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
