Entered! Woot! I'm heading up Saturday morning from Glen Waverley if anyone wants to get a motorcade going.

Also anyone know who to contact about getting put in a group with a mate who's also coming up?

Shoot an email off to [email protected] with your names and we'll make sure you're in the same group :)

Also, bring more friends, the more the merrier! You just need to convince them that they can have an absolute ball even in a stock Yaris if they want, with nearly no chance of damaging it.

I had a blast today. Thank you to the SAU crew for organizing such a good event.

Cheers

Joe

Told you we would adopt you :)

Glad you had fun! Looked awesome out there & beat a few of the fast cars ;)

With the weekend now over after an awesome time up in Shepparton the people behind the DECA event deserve a big thank you. It takes a lot to put on an event like this and the DECA crew of Bec, Ryan, Leon and others once again showed us how much fun can be had while eating some tires :P So thanks guys for a great weekend up at DECA :)

Also a big thanks to the volunteers on the day, these events would not be possible without the awesomeness of you guys.

Thanks again guys. Was a fantastic event as always. I've got my car vids from the day up, in case anyone is interested. My Go Pro conveniently died before the knockout where the Mazda2 beat me ;)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
