Had an awesome time at Deca, that Mega Mini Wang was amazing.

Wet skid pan was... interesting. So slippery! Jess and I will be back next year with my car for some more fun!

And as everyone else has said, thanks to all the volunteers for making the day possible.

ok well if no-one else will post pics...

Katie took a few on the day, in between helping out.

I think there space for another sticker somewhere

Great day...props once again to the organizers for making it run so smoothly...even with the new mega mini wang layout...as someone who's run a few deca days as well...i can only imagine how much planning and setup time was involved in making that happen...well done!!!!

Had an awesome weekend at Deca, the really wet skidpan made things very interesting but was heaps of fun. Really enjoyed the mega mini wang too, hopefully it stays in for next deca.

Thanks to the organisers and volunteers for all your great work!

Thanks to the Organisers and the Volunteers that made the day run as well as it could have. Especially for all those that slaved away in the heat on friday setting everything up for it to be wet on Saturday.

Mega Wang was good fun as the Navigator, but the time penalty for running it and the Long Wang would be massive if you had a typical SAU DECA field running on it; loose 1 minute/1 long wang run each driver run. It would work well as a replacement for Long + Mini and as a Long Wang replacement when it gets stupidly wet (far less chance of anyone having an expensive accident).

To those DECA organisers who are hanging up their competitor hats for the next year, thank-you for your dedication and for setting a very high bar for driver/organisers, lets hope some others can step up the competition to keep the Championship battles tight.

What's this about losing the results, did a Red Toyboata win an SAU event again ...

The results could go quite a few different ways. The weather plays havoc when its intermittent. They should be up by the end of the week along with the championship results.

So it worked out well that we didnt have a full field. With the wet and the mega mini wang it gave us the breathing room to organize the morning so it didnt run too much over time. We will look at running more of these longer style events in the future. (there are others to come ;)). We do need feedback though, we want to know what people think. We will always stay with the afternoon battles for those skid pan lovers out there. Always a winner.

Big thanks to our volunteers again and for Wayne who does an awesome job recruiting and organizing them! Its not often we get rain so a big thanks to all that stood out there for so many hours! And thanks to the usuals who help out on fridays setting up.

Heres some incar from the back tracks anyway. Last time the 180 will see the track for a while. Someone upped the anti ;)

Will be great to see how your car goes once you up the ante too ryan...you're blisteringly quick already...and again...great job running the day with the rest of the gang...the mega wang was a nice change but i'm not sure if you'll be able to run on time with a full field...time will tell...

Had an absolute BALL finally getting to drive instead of watching :) thanks heaps Russell!

Also thanks to the Friends/Girlfriends/Boyfriends/Wives/Gay lovers/Mr President and whoever else helped to run the day by volunteering; as well as those who organised such a sweet event.

110,000% from me, the mega mini wang was AWESOME...id definitely go down on it any day.

Great to see most out and about saturday night for some solid drinking and good times, and I dont care who does what next time but im seriously never giving tacos another chance ever again! RSL/McDonald win!

Cant wait to see some footage up from Russell's GoPro from the wangs. Was also really impressed with driving from Shane, Dave and a few others! The results will be interesting with a fairly wide spread of people laying down some 50-point times throughout the day.

I would also like to complain that the AWDs are cheaters and those who drive them have absolutely no skillz.

Thanks heaps to the volunteers and organisers!

Loved the massive mini wang!! Lol, skid pan was 'interesting' in the rain ermm.gif

Whipped out the camera pretty late in the day, but because of the rain didn't get many shots. They are mixed in with other pics in this album, feel free to tag away!

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
