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.

    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
    • Nice ride, hard to find these days!
    • Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
