Had a great weekend,

Thanx to Paul and Scott for letting me take their cars for a lil run at the end of the day was great...

And thanx to all that took me for a spin on the skidpan as well had a blast.....

Ash that photo is going to haunt you for the rest of your life. :)

Another awesome deca! So much more fun with front tyres that grip! Yet another thanks everyone that helped out. Best deca yet, as I finally have a (tiny phone) vid of my car :)

Big thanks to James for the special commentary on the vid :)

Vid plays in quicktime

Just home. Tired.

Thanks all for a great weekend. A few little hicups - but I think overall it was an excellent event.

I have 412 photos to sort through. So... ah, don't expect them up in a hurry.

Need a zzzz...

Thanks SAU for another top weekend. Massive thanks to the officials as well who gave up there time to help us loonies have a superb time.

Good to meet a few more people inc several rex guys, AGE etc. Also Nigel and Karl from Racingline. Dezz didnt realise who you were until later this morning but definately not what I expected so good meeting you and your girlfriend. :D

Ash and Bris donig the team proud with the drinking. :)

James apologies for giving away the two sombraros to the two chicks :)

My car seems to be running OK but I kept getting flat spots on acceleration after turning so I think the fuel was moving so much in the tank it was starving it. I was running with about 5 litres at the end to try and off set my bad driving and slow car :)

Biggest improvement of the weekend as I said to Snowy was letting us drivers drive the skid pan courses in the morning untimed. Massive help and so much easier than watching Chris or Snowy do it like November. Please keep that feature if possible.

Overall a top weekend and an excellent bunch of guys and girls. Thanks SAU and Racingline.

. Dezz didnt realise who you were until later this morning but definately not what I expected so good meeting you and your girlfriend. :D

not what you expected? is that a good thing? lol

you and I raced at the lights this morning before maccas!

note: there was clearly no racing going on, as i was in an EF...i dont think we even reached the speed limit

BIG apologies to those who organised this DECA, I was unable to make it due to getting hit with one hell of a nasty flu late last week... This is the first day I have been able to get out of bed and hoof it back to my folks place to let the peoples know I won't be there... a bit too late hey! (I really need to hurry up and get the internet hooked up at my place)

anyway hope everyone had a good time and didn't break anything expensive... I am going home to bed now

What a weekend, comes and goes so damn quick!!! had a blast all day, the short tracks were awesome and the skid pan was nuts as usual!!! Thanks to everyone who made the weekend yet another success. Thanks mat for driving down for the day just to film, i will try to edit it all a bit and get it up sometime in the week. lots of good footage from what ive seen.

Cant wait to see the results & some more pics

Yes thanks all for a awesome weekend

Sometimes I reckon we should confiscate your camera.......

....but then where would we get such great photochop ammunition?

There is an odd photo of Sarah inspecting some mystery persons butt! :D

I also think that Joels pictures are very good compared to the ones that James would have...

That little boy that Dane gave the hat to was the cutest kid I've ever seen. He was sooo happy to have a hat, then we went a little bit overboard by giving hats to the whole family including Grandma!!!

Priceless moment #348 - Bec saying to the grandma when she walked up to us "Granny you need a hat too" and plonking the hat onto the older ladies head. Bec's next comment after looking at how silly the family looked with the hats on was to open the Taco Bills door with one hand and yell at the top of her lungs into the restaurant "SOMEBODY GET A CAMERA OUT HERE!" hence how we got the photos of a completely random family.

Sooo funny!

Absolute top event as per usual. Was great to have some nice weather too after the last "little storm" we experienced!

The team have pretty much perfected the organisation of these things now! I was worried about the placement of the chicane on the miniwang, but it turned out to be great. Hanging the rear out of the chicane in that gravel was good fun. My driving probably haven't got any better, but that doesn't matter one bit! :D

As stupid as this may sound (to me anyway), sorry to a few people who wanted to risk their lives overturning in the boat and asked for passenger laps but um missed out (were spared???). Every time I got ready to queue up for a pan event, someone would just jump in the car and strap themselves down hehe.

Was good to meet a few more people too, now just have to work out their forum names.

Bring on the next one :)

My thanks also to the team for another fabulous event, which I am sure will be my last as I complete preparations to move to Brisbane. I only dream of emulating the success and fun of DECA in the Sunshine state for the club there if the opportunity presents.

I was fortunate enough to have Spence and our ladies along to make a full weekend of it, finishing with 600 odd bucks blown at my favourite winery on the way home.

Some memorable moment for me were the smoke following poor Sharnis car into the park, Snowies beast making another massive leap in perfomance, Ryan and Jarrod showing even more improvement in the driving department and my clutch starting to show signs of mortality.

Photos later, what a great weekend.

PS James. Golgo now has the go to go along with the sensational looks :D

Team Purple rules!!

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
