Entries Open: Import Monster Sauvic Deca Motorkhana - September 8 2012


Recommended Posts

I'm abit confused about the "Cars must be considered 'Roadworthy'" section.

My car has no leaks/drips, has all panels, seatbelts and fully working lights and the essentials but it's not legal in the performance parts aspect (Too low, too loud, wheels etc...)

May seem like a dumb question but roadworthy condition is a lot different to trackworthy condition..

ok so

no belts showing on tyres

no lose panels

nothing loose in engine bay, inside cabin in boot

seat belts/harnesses correctly mounted

fire ext mounted correctly and under 5 years validity

helmet has asa or equiv rating

all good

loud pipes not care

wheels not buckled all good

looking to have some fun......perfect

Guys as mentioned we are not staying at the motel this time round.

Bec has reserved 15 or so cabins at the caravan park but you need to book yourself ASAP :yes:

If people dont start booking there accomodation the park wont hold the cabins.

Use the above link to get details on the accomodation.

cheers..

Make sure all your wheel nuts are there unlike some other chaser drivers! :ninja:

My AASA expires day before the event...any renew forms need to be filled out or just bring down 50 bucks on the day to renew?

You've got plenty of time to update this with AASA prior to the event and you'll make my life 10 times easier if you do!!!!

I'll even give you the link to the form you have to fill out and send back to AASA with payment :)

oh forms sent and paid!

Can't wait!

Hi. im thingking of entering. it will be my first time to do a motorkhana.

Can you explain what it is exactly. How many courses are there? what are the courses ?

thanks frank

hey frank,

http://sau.ferni.net...eb2012Sched.pdf

thats the event we did in feb

basically there is skidpan/motorkharna event and also some sprints out the back, point A to point B.

skidpan consists of 2 layouts where you have to go around cones a certain way, you get 2 goes at each layout

sprints also consist of 2 layouts, basically you just have to start from point A and get to point B as quick as you can

end of the day we do battles on the skidpan, the skidpan is split in 2 and 2 cars race around a pre determined layout

its a really fun day, everyone is super friendly

thanks.

how exactly should the extingwisher be correctly mounted? i asume somewear within arms reach of the driver. my extingwisher has a plastic bracket not metal like in the regulations. is there a way around bolting it to the car/body? how do you guys do yours?

thanks.

not that fast, that skid pan is horrid when wet.

Just sent off my forms and paid.

AASA renewal in progress, since mine expires 2 days before the event! Jason, you and I must have gotten ours at the same time just before the August 2011 DECA.

Yeah the Wet DECA was balls... All over the place and it was more luck than anything else when I was out there :P

There's a section in here of the wet skid pan, I had good tyres and wasn't pushing hard at all, still spun out heaps... No fun.

Dry on the other hand... is a lot more fun :D

The main thing is, when it's dry there is consistent grip. When it's wet, the grip changes with every meter of the track.

See you guys up there :)

Do you mean sign up to the event or sign up as member? If you wish to enter you need to send in an entry form. You do not need to be a member to enter deca.

The more the merrier people, bring friends along. For those who know Deca, we will be ruining the mega mini Wang again. Not sure how many times we are going to be able to run it as the surface is getting tired...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
