Great day out.

Massive thanks to Jack for letting me take the keys to his GTR for the day... Certainly very different driving experience to how my GTR was setup before i sold it. I have new appreciation for the Racepace transfer case modifications :D

Didn't get any footage of the ducks/geese on Mega Mini Wang on my run where i had to go off road mid-run to avoid... By god that was a very close call to utter disaster.

Fun times, great day - thanks to all that make the days happen.

^lol @ the 86. Go Az, go!

Bring on teh pics!!

don;t know about you but I'm watching the pics on a number of face book feeds getting messier and messier.

This was an awesome day! Thanks guys for putting this on, it truly was an experience I won't forget!

Quick question, When will we be able to see all of the videos that were filmed with that tripod on the skidpan?

I thought they were for some weirdo's "personal" collection

thanks to the event organisers and volunteers. great weekend.

am keen for times and slow-motion videos :)

if someone wants a hand entering times into the spreadsheet, im happy to help out. got Monday off to recover

Ash... Thanks for not smashing my GTR... One of the best DECAs I have been to. Courses were much better then any previous Deca I have done. Well done to organizers.

I was being as kind as i could mate :thumbsup:

Certainly more challenging to drive yours, was farken good fun.

It was good fun to be back at a DECA day, but because I was not driving it really got me wanting to get back out there in my car.

Just checked my Drift Calendar and for once DECA and the drift day are 1 week apart, so I can do both :D

First time, had an absolute blast, as has been said thanks to the organisers for making it all happen and for making it an open event,

the atmosphere was great, i was driving the gold with black roof 180sx which is a good fun car.

Cheers,

Andy

Hey Martin, Nice video. Did you have a steer this time?

Good to see Aaron out having a go! He loops the 86 better than a WRX that's for sure...

nah trying to behave myself a little atm, so no decas.

Painfully didn't even got out in shepp as we had to be in melb early morning.

add to this I'm missing december one.

SO I have come to a conclusion.

we best have some flying fishes for first one next year as I'm putting in my entry now ;)

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
