Huge thanks to the organizers and volunteers as always.

I'd also like to thank everyone who came and looked at my car when it started making strange noises. I made it home, and oddly enough that squeaky noise vanished on the way. Engine still isn't happy though so here's hoping it's nothing major.

Thanks for the video Martin

Another really well run day by the organizers so thank you and the volunteers for letting the day flow.

I have like 600+ photos of assorted cars but whats an easy/quick way to share them?

easily one of the most enjoyable weekends I've had in a long time!
Will definitely be back throughout next year, hopefully problem free too :)

& f*ck me you guys are hilarious!

Cheers to all who helped & organised :)

Good to hear people had a fun day. Big thanks to femno, russ, Benny kieren and Leon for the drives. It was only the day before I said I didn't care if my car broke, I just hoped it was at the end of the day. . 7 years that gearbox lasted so can't complain. Love driving the drift car, well set up and awesome balance. bens car is nuts, shame it broke in the end. kierens car is surprisingly quick. quickest rwd out the back ;). Leons backyard dry sump is rubbish but the car is awesome on and off road.

Thanks to our volunteers, especially jake and trent. You guys rock.

As for next year nothing has been planned as of yet. There is going to be a few changes which we will update everyone on asap.

Yet another awesome DECA!

I had a great time with all the SAU peeps.

Another Sat night epic lol. Sorry to whoever copped a pizza slice in their room. Seemed like a good idea at the time -_-

CHEESECAKE

I had to leave at 8:45am on Sunday to get back to Melbourne on time for other stuff, so got nicely toasted beforehand and during dinner then headed back to the motel.

In the morning there was pizza everywhere... Keiran was rolling his spare tyre towards his car as I was packing up mine and it was picking up random bits of salami along the way.

Can someone explain what happened in the carpark that night? Was there a drunken food fight again?

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
