first deca, really had fun! a huge thanks to the organisers for putting in the time and effort in making it all nice and smooth.
my break down
skid pan confused the f**k out of me. there is only so much an arab brain can handle, though i was alright on the second runs.
had a huge blow by issue which we kind of bandaid fixed.
also as i started the wangs the car started missing under boost so i went offroading and made my own shortcut back to martin (who had this priceless confused look on his face)
fixed that and gave it a once over and ripped this!

Had a blast today! Thanks to Ryan for the lend of some wheels while i sorted out some new ones :thanks:

Had a bit of a hard time of the skid pan, got lost heaps haha :rolleyes:

Really impressed with the general attitude of the group, it felt very welcoming and friendly. I learned a shit ton just from taking rides with some of the more experienced guys!

Once i got used to everything i was improving heaps which is what i wanted to get out of the day! Ill be back for the next one!!! ;)

i just assumed you were completely lost

Did anyone happen to find a black Hyundai Flip Key? I'm not sure if I've misplaced it in the car or at home, or if it's somehow been left at DECA.

Edit: Turns out I was smart enough to take it out of my car before I left for DECA. Found it :P.

Don't know him as a friend, but I guess he's an acquaintance. Pretty sweet looking Supra.

Additional Special thanks to:
Jett for smashing a bottle next to the spa

Mark for pouring some of his beer on the hot sauna rocks

Bec for abusing a bouncer

Femno for showing us the correct way to reverse a trailer ;)

Leon and Hayley for bringing Flynn and teaching us the Big Mac Truck song

and Josh for attending his first DECA, and not killing me in my sleep :)

FANTASTIIIC weekend!

Cheers to all who organised, helped, assisted, made it a great day! Had so much fun driving the Sil80 for the first time, glad it was relatively hassle-free.

Also happy to set the record for first triple-entered car and still having it running at the end of the day! Do we get a prize? :-D

No worries, pity the battery went flat after 2nd group runs. Didn't realise it doesn't last long after taping all runs on 1st group.

Thanks to the organisers, volunteers and sponsors once again!

And as always to Martin, Grant and Paul for the videos. (P.S. odium + jett.... isn't me)

No worries.

It's Peter by the way.

    • Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.
    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 馃槅
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
