Another Awesome DECA gone by

Thanks to the sponsors, organizers and volunteers for making this day happen.

I had lots of fun, even though I bent a tie rod on the skidpan towards the end of the day

Post all the photos and videos here :ermm:

Great Deca, Looking forward to seeing the results!

Thanks to Bec, Ryan, Leon, Wayne, Anna, Sandeep, Mick, Joey and all the others that put up with the sun so we could all drive. Champions!

Without you we won't be having deca's!

Another awesome DECA done and dusted, Glad Grant walked away from his accident and is ok.

Currently I am supposed to be studying and writing a Statement of Advice for my course but the hangover is killing me...

Thanks to Bec, Ryan and everyone else for their behind the scenes work to get this up and running. Its definately appreciated!

Leon- I'll see if I take you up on that offer for a ride in the orange mobile next DECA, gotta work up to these things!

See you all again in Feb :ermm:

Many thanks for volunteers and organisers for a great day out despite my mishap.

And whoever didn't get to do their 2nd run @ long wang, sorry about it.

Cheers

Grant

Top weekend as always...

I was having some boost issues and hence a good 5-7 seconds off the other GTR's :ermm:

And on the way home I've sprung a dirty oil leak so it was a smokey drive home, but overall it was a top weekend.

Thanks to all the volunteers who sat out in the Sun. I've done a Nov DECA in 30-35 degree heat too and i know it's certainly not an easy task, so many thanks!

$60.00 in fuel and a 400k round trip for 2 free hot dogs and a couple of bottles of water and a sunburnt red neck and R.S.I from picking up that witches hat 200 times.Thats my deca review and i still had fun helping on the skid pan all day..

another great deca and i had a front row seat and got to watch everything from up close. hopefully we can get some more volunteers next time. you can learn a lot by watching all the cars from up close, seeing how the faster drivers do it. plus free food and drinks.

Thanks again guys, was good to see some people who have driven a few times in the past and either missed out or couldnt enter come anyway and volunteer :)

I know it is said so much but the day doesnt run without volunteers

Ya I had oil issues too, still running winter weight oil. Not a good idea..

And I managed to overheat/overfill powersteering and damn near set my car on fire :).

Still as grant points out.. could be worse.

Can't wait to see my times either, really stoked with all my runs!

cheers, to all the sau crew and all the guys & girls who stood out in the burning hot sun to make it all possible

had a awesome weekend and had heaps of fun on all maps got to ride in some sickkkk cars and meet some kool dudes

buy my last few runs i had to retire cos i could not concentrate any longer in that heat :)

cant wait for the next one!!

Most awesome after-DECA Saturday night I remember, well worth the trip. And somehow I'm not sunburnt! Hangover was killing me on the drive home though, lunch in Yea a good 3 hour sleep when I got back fixed that.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • 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. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. 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!
