What a great weekend! I haven't been to a Deca since November 2007 and I had an absolute blast. Still just as much fun but with a lot of new faces....

Thanks Adam for letting me drive Big Red (Again!), you're the best! Big Red is just amazing now and so solid compared to last time I drove it. At least we had traction at the start of the day this time! :)

Saturday night antics were fantastic!

Highlights of the weekend for me:

BIG RED!

Launches from the 32 GTR, that has to get my vote as one of the best cars of the day!!

Making balloon animals for Bec & Dee

Scottsman throwing salt at Ryan

Adam Hot Saucing Scottsman!

Certain People decorating The Stigs Car

Making a singing Sombraro Bush in the main street.

Dancing like an idiot to some cheesy band and one SAU guy who will remain nameless that knows the words to every verse of Time Warp.

Listening to Shepparton Girls Burp and talk about girl fights in the ladies toilets at the Ozzy, they should have gone to the mens.

Thanks to the officials and everyone for volunteering their time to make another great SAU event.

thanks again to all the organisers and volunteers, it went really smoothly... everyone got through with plenty of time to have a break for lunch and for some smokeshows at the end of the day... everyone knows 33GTSt's are teh donut kings!

Sorry we didn't eat with you guys at the Mexican joint but I had some major sucking up to do to the missus... when we did rock up I was impressed to see what would have to be the biggest turn out ever... and it was farkin mayhem in there!... you animals! :) lol I always feel kinda bad for any other customers who happen to try and have dinner at the same time as the SAU clan... they should be warned hehe

from now on I shall be known as Nick, Professional RB Killer... the diagnosis is as suspected so its at the doctors awaiting surgery... thanks to Tim and Mick for the tow back to the caravan park and for Jack for coming out to Shep on his day off to rescue me!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WTF?!?!

haha troublemaker... No it didn't Nath, but it did develop a bottom end knock... sounds like it picked up one of the bearings... I wasn't as nice to it as you were, I gave it some major rev limiter love... was trying to overcome the weight of the Bigbird sitting in the passenger seat!

lol at Jarrod.. you had me there for a sec.

I would have thought it was capable of a bit of limiter love?... just unlucky I guess.. very sad news :)

WOW what an insane weekend! Thats all I can say!

Firstly thanks to Ryan and Bec for arranging a spot for me, I know the tuesday entry was a big ask! Cheers!

Thanks to everyone else who had a part in organising and running the weekend! A great job was done!

Russell that pic is awesome! Thanks Martin, some great photography in there! Launching all weekend was great fun!!! There was some great driving out there this weekend! Was great to meet new people too!

I have quite a few phone pics from Saturday nights events...ill post them up as soon as I can. I thought the food was pretty good, although the 2 hour wait wasnt, oh well, gave us more time to drink all those fishbowls!

:)

And a big :D to Leon for letting me use the 180 it was mad

Bring on the pics and vids..

And Al.. No drama with the key they were fine. I said they would get it in the mail..

Also it was great to see 70 odd people turn up at Baz,s it was like ol times.

In thanking everyone i forgot to mention Micolour.. :down: Thanks Mick

what are you going to use a strengthened SSS box?

N15 SSS box + PAR 1st-5th billet straight cut gearset + crown wheel and pinion + heavy duty clutch + Nismo 1.5 way LSD is the plan. Need to get the driving down pat first, in the meantime I can save.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
