Import Monster Sauvic Deca Wrap Up Thread- Round 2, 2013


Recommended Posts

Thanks again to the regulars who make these events happen - rain, hail or shine.

SAU would have to have one of the best car club cultures in the country.

Was awesome to meet some new people & see some familiar faces!

Mark - You forgot the highlight of Abbie, Maddie and (?) running out of the room when Matt got 'cuddles' from Tony & Campbell! LOL!

Leon - Thanks for throwing me the keys to your orange beast. So different to driving Ryan's car!

Can't wait until the next event!

p.s. Sorry Paul/ Kate for not meeting you at Maccas. You went to the wrong one! :-p

Daz.

A sincere thank you to all the volunteers and organisers for a great day even though the weather was very poor. :worship: Should have bought some new tyres rather than the 2.5years old R-specs. They were fun on the skid pan but absolutely terrifying on the highway. Until the next time.......

That had to be one of the fastest weekends ever! Shit weather but an awesome day still. Blown away by how quick the tail dragger minis were on the skid pan! From what im told rwd was the fastest on both back tracks and fwd was possibly fastest on a lot of the skid pan... what AWD?

Biggest credit goes to those who help without being asked! it makes life so much easier and i only wish there was more of you! To those who help when we ask a big thanks, these days are so labor intensive.. So many cones, barries, bollards, marquees and tape get set up and then packed up. Then we pack our own stuff up... Pita!

Seen some awesome footage and photos so far. Bennys bonnet coming up haha, good thing this aint phillip island! Dave holding it flat over a blind hill not knowing where the road goes.. nearly wrote off the daily and campbells off caught by the flaggie on the hill.

As for the next deca keep an eye out for the date release. There will also be two prices, members and non members.

Thanks for a great day all - great organisation (as obviously seems to be the standard) and all the officials carried on as if it was 25 and sunny !

I on the other hand noticed very well that it was raining... now that I have a handbrake, I must get a window fitted for the next event ;)

Haha that explains the towel I spotted over your car :P

Huge thanks to all who made the day happen, especially considering the horrible weather!

Had an absolute blast, don't think I was all that quick but it was a good day to learn the new car and get back into some sort of motor sport.

Big thanks to the volunteers and the organisers, during what probably would of been 1 of Victoria’s wettest days.
it was also great to catch-up with members, for a good chat.
The forester was in its element when It went off into the mud at the basketball court…....
mmmaybe not.

Cressida is mine :)

I love it, it's got a twin turbo 1jz in it and its been converted to manual,

Did anyone get any pics of the big corner off the long wang ? Please tell me they did

Thanks for yet another great day.

My wife and sister helped out sitting up on the hill at the long wang just so there was enough officials.

Big shout out to organisers and volunteers.

Even though it was really wet it was still very fun.

That cressida leroy peterson was one of my favorite cars on the day.

Good driving and sounded good.

Whats in it?

I meant to come over and have a chat but never got a chance.

It gave me a scare when you went off on the basketball court! Great recovery though! :)

Any chance of under 18's being able to compete? Say my 14yr old son ;)

Great event guys,

The rain sucked but umbrella and jacket saved me for the day, where is Paul ?

I think their might have been a domestic in there room after who won that night !

Campbell is still slower than his mum....

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
