I was there but didn't see your name on the sheet so trying to match forum name with real name.

Here I am.

Femino's purple GTR had something go wrong with the engine so he drove my car for the rest of the day.

Hope the problem isn't serious.

lol...YEAH i was UBER excited for 2 reasons.... It was my first DECA in like 4 years....and my first driving the EMO Team Cheater Car.

Will be up in November for sure!

Well after a very bumpy ride home I thought perhaps the vibrations were a little bit more than a flat spot in the tyre. So I went the mechanics, he took one look at them and pointed out spots on every single tyre where I'd worn them out beyond the indicator. Apparently they're so severe that I have to pretty much bin them.

So... anyone know some decent cheaper tyres than KU36's which I can run until I learn how to (and more importantly, when to) brake correctly?

Wow, no abs?

You must be braking hard and for a long time when they lock up, I locked mine a couple times here and there and didn't flat spot them =\

This is why I got second hand stuffed semis for learning.Maybe get some track rims and some second hand semis from Donnellans (spelling?) until you get the hang of braking control etc.

I got my learner semis for $250 for the whole set delivered from Melb to Albury.

Sooo.... who's gonna put their hands up to corrupt me in November? Lukes just told me he's working at Sandown so will have to miss DECA, but I'll be there - and its my birthday :D Shall make up for the not drinking this time lol

I didn't think I locked up for too long either, but like you were saying at the hotel. Big, heavy car = more wear and tear.

You're not going to get a half decent tyre for cheaper than KU's.

The back track at DECA is very abrasive if you lock up. I've flatspotted RE55's there, and Dean in the S14 flat spotted his RE's on Saturday too. You just need to ease it on a bit more there, and give yourself more time to stop.

Yeah that's where it happened, came around the sweeper (on the long wang) and braked too late going into the chicane. Worst part is I still hit the cone! I should've kept the power and on and just blasted through them, would've been cheaper and gotten me a better time :bunny:

Maybe I'll take Dan's advice and get some half dead semis. Chuck them on the Advans and leave the stockies for daily driving.

Wrong...just learn a bit if finesse when it comes to braking...rough stabbing movements are always detrimental to good times...look at any good driver...its all about smooth movements...

And before this goes on...lets not turn this thread into another heel toe fiasco like the last deca thread...

Bring on more pics, vids and the results!!

+1 for these guys. We dealt with them through ebay and great pricing.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
