yea but car is parked right up against where the back door opens into, plus nfi where that key is to unlock it. exciting stuff.

just entered DECA considering it's cheap enough without needing cams/sau paying membership! I'll be slow af but should be good fun.

I don't consider SAU and CAMS Memberships to be an expense, as having them both gets me a larger discount on my car insurance than if I didn't have them :P

Makes sense for you, but for me not really - this will be first event in the car other than drags in 5 years and RACV insurance don't care about club for insuring it 

I'm more into bike track days at the moment but figure I'll try something new, last car I did deca in was my white N/A 33 lol

With a car of your power, DECA is perfect to show it off. You staying? There's a single room left at our hotel if you're quick!

done - got the last room

do fire extinguishers have expiry dates / do DECA people care? also can it be mounted in the boot or have to be close to driver? 

ok found this, I guess the boot technically counts as inside the vehicle right?

All vehicles must be equipped with a minimum 900gram fire extinguisher securely mounted inside the vehicle with a metal bracket. Extinguishers must comply with the Australian Standard – AS 1841 and not be more than five years old.

Edited by UNR33L

Close to driver - specifically - you need to be able to reach it from the driver's seat

Even though a fire at DECA is unlikely, so too is the usefulness of a fire extinguisher sitting in the boot

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
