Entries Open: Sauvic Deca - 25th July 2015 - Shepparton - Its Back!


Recommended Posts

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

Ah don't be a pussy!

You can go as hard or not as hard as you like, often slower can be a bit faster (especially in the wet). So it's only dangerous if the pilot is being dangerous :)

Given how wet I was one year, after standing in the torrential rain for a good 15mins directing cars, safe to say no matter what the event goes on! Viva la DECA!

(I may or may not bring cheater EVO if weather looks sketchy lol).

Considering the event starts at 7:30 and is nearly 2 hours away, even for northies, you might want to reconsider your departure strategy :thumbsup:

Thanks for confirming event start Birds.

Amend departure time to 5.30am @ Greensborough, this should give ample time to arrive following scrutineering and driver debrief.

If there is not many people interested in driving up, I'll just head off per own schedule.

Cheers

I used to leave eastern suburbs latest 5am back when deca started 8am...

Just in case anything goes wrong or you have to sort out anything with your car and scrutineering/licensing it's always a good idea to get there early rather than on the dot!

think there 10+ spots left so get it in, should be plenty of runs for every-one with the limited entries.

I've got the CAMS license, mate who's done a DECA with us before is coming too, just getting AASA posted in the mail today.

Oh yeah, we're sharing the same car (mx5 - nohomo)

Do we just apply separately?

go though the online form and you will see an option for shared car.

both need to put though an entry but mark that you sharing car so you get put in same group a bit apart so you have time.

I remember that day.

Submitted and paid!

Good stuff Jack! You and Jarrard?

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
