Ever wanted to go as hard as you like in your car on private roads and 100x100m skid pan?

Thinking of getting into a bit of motorsport?

Want to learn how your car behaves on the limit?

Then this is the event for you! And if its your first time SAUVic is offering a huge discount for our September event:

$50 entry - Conditions: This is your first SAU Deca Event & you are a SAUVic member. Normally $85.

EVENT THREAD

We are trying to attract new members to our awesome event. It is the best entry level event which im sure many people will attest to below. One of the biggest things we have found with new entrants is that they are unsure of what to expect and therfore do not enter so we will try to dispel some of the myths:

FAQ's:

Q: Is this event good for someone with no experience?

A: This is the BEST first event. You will learn SO much about car control! If you are thinking about entering track days it is highly recomended that you enter a DECA to get the basics of car control.

Q: What do i need to do to my car to enter?

A: Basically you need to bolt in a fire extinguisher and have the car in a track worthy condition. More details can be found on the entry form.

Q: Does it matter what kind of car i drive?

A: Previously, the field has consisted of everything under the sun from stock family cars through to high end euro race cars. You DO NOT need 'power' to have fun or be competitive.

Q: What licence do i need?

A: The most basic licence requirement is a AASA 'club racing licence'. This costs $50 per year.

Q: Is it hard on my car?

A: Hardly. Most runs go for less than a minute. Surprisingly there is little wear on tyres. However, you are able to give your car a harder time if you choose ;).

Q: Is it competitive?

A: The event is all about fun. Events are timed and there is some fun rivalries however a lot of people just enter for the social side and the fun of driving.

Q: What if i dont know anyone?

A: Everyone was once in this position. We are all friendly, like minded people so it will take no time to make some great friends and contacts.

Q: Can you take passengers?

A: Simple answer is yes. There are some requirements and a disclaimer.

Q: Is it expensive?

A: No. This is the cheapest value for money motorsport event you can enter. It is low impact on your car, does not use much fuel and entry is cheap. SAUVic do not run this event to make a profit.

Q: What else goes on?

A: Most people come up to Shepparton on the Friday night. Saturday night it is somewhat of a tradition to go out for dinner then head out drinking. Its not a requirement and plenty of people simply make it a day trip but its a great social weekend if you do choose to stay.

Thats a bargain!

Everyone thats 'thinking' of doing DECA ends like this - "that looks like fun, i should have just entered"

Myself included ... I had nothing to worry about as all the people at DECA are really nice and I learnt a heap on car control and got me hooked on track days (and coming back to deca)

DECA is only half the fun....! The other half of the fun is to be had socialising back at the caravan park! Talk cars, get tips, have a drink, make new freinds and have another drink!!

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
