definitely a top weekend, i had a ball.

dont know how i managed getting more pissed on friday night than saturday night, but it made the driving that much more interesting saturday morning!!!

thank you to chris and snowy for organising, thank you to james for all his hard work on the day, leading up to it and after!!! and of course to the officials for without them the day would be nothing.

also to all who took photos and video, namely joel!!!

yeah got in nice and early and got 2 wang burgers... filled me up for the day.

I didn't realise you wer there dezz.

GTS4 was good. Love teh GT2530 (I think) on the RB20 styles. Needs a tune, and needs to have a decent boost controller fitted. AWD in the GTS4 was so much fun... much more than RWD in the GTS4... dosen't steer as well in RWD mode.

Tyre coming off the rim was a scare in the morning, and prevented me from enjoying the long wang n short wang... but skidpanning was good.

Almost beat snowy in a run too if I hadn't knocked over the cone :) (granted he did spin out twice).

This is gonna be my last DECA (seeing as I'm moving to Sydney next month) and it was great fun. Almost tempts me to drive down to Shepp for the weekend next time its on.

Some sad news, towards the end of the day my gearbox was really struggling to go into gear (causing a lot of runs to be done in 2nd gear only)... looks like the problem is still there, the clutch dosen't seem to be disengaging even when the pedal is 100% in, making it hard to put it inot and pull it out of gears. Driving around by matchin revs isn't fun, esp in traffic. Looks like it might be a siezed thrust bearing (worst case) or just not enough pressure from the clutch master (best case).

I had an awesome weekend as always.

Its a bit of a pity I couldn't compete in the afternoon because of my clutch, but the drive back to Melbourne re-assured me I made the right decision to pull out, it was slipping all the way home and I definately wouldn't have made it back if I was out on the skidpan yesterday arvo.

Thanks to all of the organisers, officials and BBQ crew for a fantastic job as per usual.

Really looking foward to the next one, not looking foward to the photos from this one though. Definately was the most rowdy Deca yet.

What an AWESOME weekend, seems to get better every time :) My times were down from last time, but i was having toooooo much fun. Glad the old guy didn't pass out in my car, during a run, he loved every moment of it :banana:.

I was happy to let others drive my car (correction: try to drive my car :)), shows me that the "light switch" power catches everyone off gaurd. Troy did an outstanding drift round the entire pan, felt awesome as i was in the passenger seat :).

As usual a big thanks to the organisers, officals, volunteers and RACINGLINE for sponsoring the event. Nige's Supra looked and performed outrageously well all day, he should probably consider entering the DUTTON, just to see how it goes.

The "after party" was as expected, messy and memorable ;), GREAT freakin night!

People don't be affraid to post up photo's and footage :banana:

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
