Also someone left their pillow at the hotel; we were the last one to leave and the owners asked us if we wanted to claim it. If it's yours I think they binned it as it looked quite crusty.

I took heaps of photos but many didn't turn out that well; still learning to use this new camera and I definitely need a longer lens for the skidpan:

Keen to see photos from others, perhaps if you got some of mine (blue Liberty) in action I'd love a new desktop background :)

Need. Sleep. But before then, thankyou to all involved who made this event happen.

Good weekend.... thanks to the organisers...and sorry to see the tangled GTR. Good to hear on Saturday night you were both ok..

I have decided I am going to put an even bigger brake setup on the rear and leave the fronts standard...makes the car so much fun to drive :)

LOL Brisby love your technique around the sweeper!

Anyway....awesome day! Great weather and a big thanks to those who helped out and made the day happen.

Thanks again to Russell for hooking me up with a drive, was heaps and heaps of fun yet again :) your car had an awesome hunger for cones this time round!

Speaking of rides, huge thanks to Russ, Mat, Snowman (white 34R?) and Adz (silver evo 4?) for taking me in a blast around the 'pan.

This silver EVO - whoah, that is some ride!

great event and had heaps of fun....thanks to all the organisers and volunteers who made the event happen....already cant wait for the next one....learnt so much about the car...its was fun... :P

had an awesome day as always!

organisation was top notch and is a sign that SAU deca days are going to live on!

huge thanks to Ryan and to Leon for taking over the reigns... leon any helo you need organising, setting up etc, i am more than happy to help with!

also a MASSIVE thanks to SAU's too often unsung hero BEC! without you these events would either simply not happen, or would be severely disorganised!

well I had a great day, started with a respectable time on the long wang, and a relaxed cruise around the miniwang.... (not gonna bin my car for that 30 seconds) before moving onto the skidpan where i had an awesome time. spent the day learning to get sideways before the cones and slide past them. was great fun and an invaluable experiance as always!!!!

was terrible to have to drive a mate o the hospital, but awesome to see that he was given the all clear!

unfortunately i missed the battles and had to leave early to get to work, but all in all a brilliant day!

+1, also gimme me a yell, I ought to help out.

Hamish, sorry for taking some of your time carting me to hospital and thanks again for that.

lol don't even worry about it man! i got in all 4 solo skidpan runs and all 4 wang's

not even a little bit concerned... getting a mate to hospital after a crash is far more important than a run on a fkn skidpan!

That's good.

A BIG thank you to SAU, the event director / managers, micolour for its sponsorship and the volunteers for putting together another adrenalin filled flawless day at DECA!

No doubt this is an exhausting task to both co-ordinate and operate whilst enduring the harsh heat for the pure enjoyment of those involved.

Also a big thumbs up to Leon in keeping the DECA heartbeat alive for future events.

Cheers,

Ben

was a good day but my own stupidity got myself badly sunburnt. that killed my energy.

might volunteer again but in such hot weather seats and umbrellas would be a good idea for everyone.

i keep saying it but i might actually enter next time.

Awesome DECA despite giving Friday night a bit of a nudge and beeing seedy as on Sat. The water fight sorted that out though. Night life was messy as usual, especially when Snowey poors a drink on your head lol.

A masive thanks to all the officials but in particular Rayn for his continual outstanding efforts and dedication to running these fantastic events. Wish you all the best in your new endevors and welcome Leon (stand in Brisby) taking charge moving forward.

Was great catching up with everyone and meeting some more great people.

Adam

    • 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!
