Hey Rob,

Deca (held at Deca Shepparton) is a event SAU do 4 times a year.

Its a whole day event, 50 entrants max

Field is split into 2 groups of 25

Morning consists of Skidpan and Sprints

Skidpan...

2 cone layouts on the skidpan, you have 2 attempts at going the fastest around each layout

Sprints...

2 sprint sections, basic point A to point B, you get 1x 80%/sighting run and 2x timed runs at each sprint

Break for lunch

Afternoon is all on the skidpan

The skidpan is is split in 2 and we have tandem battles, 2 cone layouts

Theres a identical cone layout per side, race a mate to see whos quicker haha

If theres time at the end of the day then we do same battle theme but if you loose then your knockout

hopes this helps out

Thanks heaps jake/mike.. Can anyone come eg, some one who's never done anything like this before?

Sounds like an awesome day.

Thanks Martin link is very helpful....

To enter you need a sau membership, how do I get one?

Thanks heaps guys

I went to the September one as my first time and lets just say, it opened up a whole new chapter for me in regards to cars.

Despite only been once, it's already an addiction for me and really keen for this round of deca.

Try it out and you won't regret it! Also the people are really nice and awesome!

You'll need AASA licence or Cams licence.

AASA licence can be purchased on the day for $50

SAU membership info:

EDIT: Beaten :P

all the above is correct.

AASA does not require you to have a club member ship and allows you to decas winton and a couple other things in vic.

If you looking to do more track days then you will need a CAMS license this you need to be a member of a car club eg SAU

and lets you out at sandown PI as well as the above ones.

that said nothing is as cool as being a SAU member ;)

Deca is good for first timers wanting to get into racing

It teaches good car control in an environment where you've got plenty of room for error

And its the cheapest event out there

so yeah come along have a crack, everyone is super friendly

Hey guys...

i paid n sent my forms through but I have two more questions.....hope you can help......

1. Says I need non flammable clothing? Are trackies ok or jeans?

2. I have a sunroof so do I need a full face helmet with a visor? Or one you get when go karting?

Thanks

There'll be plenty of friendly people to point you in the right direction.

Trackies and jeans are fine, make sure you top is long sleeve as well. Helmet can be open face, no problem.

People generally head up separately on Friday / Friday Night then we meet at the Motel

You might find some people at Wallan BP if you're leaving Melbourne at about 6pm or so...

Maybe ask in the Facebook event if anyone is leaving at about the same time as you.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
    • Thanks buddy.. the standard one needs to be about another inch or inch and a half longer. Thanks anyway
