Got to say one of THE best Decas in quite a while. Well mainly cos wet deca last time sucked!

Driving the Sil80 was sooo much fun having a different go at things, steering with the rear instead of the front ha ha and not going for times but angle and smoke instead. Car is a weapon :-) Thanks to The Wheel Deal for supplying tyres at awesome prices for us to skid on. Keep The Wheel Deal in mind when you next need tyres!

Thanks for everyone who sat and stood out in the sun so we could have fun :-) thanks to everyone that puts so much effort into making decas with our club awesome.

Saturday night was damn good! Pretty happy to make it past 9pm ha ha. Family pizzas on the way home were great thanks Pauly! Thanks MARRK and co for grabbing the box of kebabs!

Sil80 looked tough as out there. Glad was an easy fix in morning session after Russ broke it :P

If there's anything that brings a hangover back on with vengeance it's pushing a car with a locked diff off the skid pan... :sick::sick::sick:

People speeding in the car park or driving fast where people stand - I have a few cars that I will remember for next time and if I see you speeding I will be kicking you out.

Plain and simple.

The track and skid pan is where you do your fast stuff and if you feel the need to keep speeding then this is the wrong car club for you.

Burnouts in the line for the skid pan - next time I see this I will ban you from any future DECA's that I'm the Clerk of Course for.

This is simply stupid.

I think all of those bad points were one main car, that fuy was a complete d### and in my oppinion should have been kicked out beforw the battles, first deca I have been to that I have seen someone be such a clown off the tracks.

Leon you nailed it. Bottom line is we run this event because we want to. Everyone is welcome but if you do something that will jeopardise someone's safety or our insurance then you will be booted. Showing off is for on the track. If you cant impress there you sure aint going to in the carpark.

Name,and shame.

Perma-ban?

SAU DECA is awesome and muppets that spoil a great day out need to be taught a lesson! :rant:

Must agree with you guys, that was one of the best and enjoyable DECA! Perhaps because the last one was full of rain...


Couldn't complain about the weather either, can't recall the burnout and speeding in the carpark? I assumed it wasn't from my group?

My missus, Trinh did the finisher timing for the mini-mega wang when the evo went off track, sure did made her panic! She's not really interested in cars but she really appreciated the close community of SAU helping each other especially when someone's in danger, lets just say she really enjoys the company of SAU and not the cars itself. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the ride Mark on one of the battles, wish I did turn on the gopro to record my awesome co-driver navigation. hahaha

Some in car vids from NUTR33:First timed long wang runhttp://youtu.be/d99kyRfjlsASecond timed long wang run, including some grass skating lolhttp://youtu.be/fSsxXRW6wakFinal skid pan battle:http://youtu.be/VpZN_PYYAgAMore pics & vid coming but I'm buggered so for now that's it.

Lol at the end.

No probs mate! Navigation was awesome! :thumbsup:

Lucky you came for a ride. Completely forgot where i was going!

Agreed!

Not sure which of the 2 orange S13's it was I saw but dude you can drive! Some nice drifting in the battles!

That would be Campbell.

Thanks to all the usual suspects and volunteers who run the day massive effort. Absolute tops work.

Still had a ball even though had to park it half way through. Higher pressure radiator cap + impossibly positioned hose that's been sitting around without coolant for a good few years is I guess bound to do that eventually.

Leon, Jack, Campbell, Marky, Russ and Jake who all lent a hand / tools / coolant to try get me going or get the car on the trailer - big love.

Saturday night was a cracker, it stepped up a few gears and descended into madness out of nowhere! Was still a little rough yesterday morning.

----- turns out after checking with Kat, our head unit wasn't stolen haha - DECA is safe

Anyway, love you guys and bring on November!

I think we all were at some stage... :P They were going around

Edit: I'm surprised you noticed the cruiser instead of the thing hanging out of campbells pants...

yeah i was being silly. not cool

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
