Got to say one of THE best Decas in quite a while. Well mainly cos wet deca last time sucked!

Driving the Sil80 was sooo much fun having a different go at things, steering with the rear instead of the front ha ha and not going for times but angle and smoke instead. Car is a weapon :-) Thanks to The Wheel Deal for supplying tyres at awesome prices for us to skid on. Keep The Wheel Deal in mind when you next need tyres!

Thanks for everyone who sat and stood out in the sun so we could have fun :-) thanks to everyone that puts so much effort into making decas with our club awesome.

Saturday night was damn good! Pretty happy to make it past 9pm ha ha. Family pizzas on the way home were great thanks Pauly! Thanks MARRK and co for grabbing the box of kebabs!

If there's anything that brings a hangover back on with vengeance it's pushing a car with a locked diff off the skid pan... :sick::sick::sick:

People speeding in the car park or driving fast where people stand - I have a few cars that I will remember for next time and if I see you speeding I will be kicking you out.

Plain and simple.

The track and skid pan is where you do your fast stuff and if you feel the need to keep speeding then this is the wrong car club for you.

Burnouts in the line for the skid pan - next time I see this I will ban you from any future DECA's that I'm the Clerk of Course for.

This is simply stupid.

I think all of those bad points were one main car, that fuy was a complete d### and in my oppinion should have been kicked out beforw the battles, first deca I have been to that I have seen someone be such a clown off the tracks.

Leon you nailed it. Bottom line is we run this event because we want to. Everyone is welcome but if you do something that will jeopardise someone's safety or our insurance then you will be booted. Showing off is for on the track. If you cant impress there you sure aint going to in the carpark.

Name,and shame.

Perma-ban?

SAU DECA is awesome and muppets that spoil a great day out need to be taught a lesson! :rant:

Must agree with you guys, that was one of the best and enjoyable DECA! Perhaps because the last one was full of rain...


Couldn't complain about the weather either, can't recall the burnout and speeding in the carpark? I assumed it wasn't from my group?

My missus, Trinh did the finisher timing for the mini-mega wang when the evo went off track, sure did made her panic! She's not really interested in cars but she really appreciated the close community of SAU helping each other especially when someone's in danger, lets just say she really enjoys the company of SAU and not the cars itself. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the ride Mark on one of the battles, wish I did turn on the gopro to record my awesome co-driver navigation. hahaha

Not sure which of the 2 orange S13's it was I saw but dude you can drive! Some nice drifting in the battles!

That would be Campbell.

Thanks to all the usual suspects and volunteers who run the day massive effort. Absolute tops work.

Still had a ball even though had to park it half way through. Higher pressure radiator cap + impossibly positioned hose that's been sitting around without coolant for a good few years is I guess bound to do that eventually.

Leon, Jack, Campbell, Marky, Russ and Jake who all lent a hand / tools / coolant to try get me going or get the car on the trailer - big love.

Saturday night was a cracker, it stepped up a few gears and descended into madness out of nowhere! Was still a little rough yesterday morning.

----- turns out after checking with Kat, our head unit wasn't stolen haha - DECA is safe

Anyway, love you guys and bring on November!

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
