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!!

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
