Also should have some cool drone footage from Tony on the way :)

Thanks Martin for the camera work.

And a massive thanks to Bec, Ryan, Leonica and all the volunteers for organising and running the day! Had a blast as always.

Note to self: avoid midgets at the pub, it doesn't end well

Bahahahahahahaha [emoji48]

Thanks all involved. Brilliant day for what I was there for.

MANY thanks to the organisers and volunteers - such awesome work setting up something like this so far away from Melbourne. It was great to get back to something I hadn't done in years. Will definitely be at the next one with some friends.

Wet skidpan in the morning was a lot of fun, something different and not like it was pouring with rain. Good that it dried up and gave us a lot of dry runs too.

Mini motorkhana was an awesome idea. Really could have used a handbrake for that :(

Ok, here we go. Apologies for the lack of links. My spastic browser wont let me even copy and paste these links, let alone add as a proper link so I'm going to have to painfully type them in below. Simply cut and paste back into your browser to load.

Was a good day out and I had a great vantage point to take pics from all morning. Next time I might even get the R33 out there myself; a well organized event and it looked like fun

Not only do thanks go to the volunteers for making the day fantastic, but the thanks also go to you guys who provide the footage of all our cars.

Helps re live a great day over and over again!

Did your mum enjoy it?

Had an absolute blast, also said to pass on her thanks to the organisers

She's never voluntarily lost control in a car before, so a great learning experience getting to know her car and just doing something out of the ordinary - don't think she did too badly time wise on some runs either!

Thanks to ALL organisers and volunteers.

I had a blast. Running out of tyres @ 11am was set to be a problem, lucky there was a shop in Shepp that had 20s :D

I'd prefer if any videos of my car stay off the internet for 3-4 weeks. I'll dump the ones I have in HD on YouTube when time is right and post back up here!

Oh and also...

Given the higher price ($120) and only around 30 cars... IMO, best value DECA yet.

4 runs out the back of both courses alone is double the norm (for less than double the price!). If it gets capped at 40 cars, I'd be more than happy paying a bit more for future events if that amount of track time is going to happen.

I was at 78% uploaded then thought - 'Hey why not check the forum while this clip is uploading'. Now its back to chop your car out of said clip!!! BAAHHHH!!!!!! :rant:

As an aside to the introduction of member pricing at the next one, the point of difference between member and non, rather than cost, could simply be more runs for members?

More runs for members becomes pretty problematic to manage who is who, then how do you deal with car sharing (members vs non) etc.

Just a member price and non-member is a good move IMO. Join up and after 3 DECA's you've saved your membership moneh and the 4th is a bonus reduction.

WINRAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Were you the guy who asked me about my sunroof being open? Look familiar in your other videos...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
