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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
