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.

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 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.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
