This weekend (Sept 15 to 17) is the 2006 Alphera Dutton Rally.

http://www.duttonrally.com

The event is based in and around Central Victoria (Shepparton and Winton) but makes it's way back to town on the Sunday for events at Essendon Airport and Sandown Racecourse.

There are 3x SAU teams competing this year...

Car 30: Snowy and Scotland in the upgraded backup GT-R (White R33)

Car 36: Miss Juz and D1 Adam in the super sponsorised 200SX (Blue S15)

Car 49: Steve McQueen (Roy) and me in the mighty, reborn Silver Bullet (Silver R32)

We are all in the same group - so do Essendon at 9.30am Sunday - then Sandown at 1.00pm.

The other 97 cars in the field are made up of swanky M3s, Porkas, Rarris, V8 Muscle, cheater Evos - and apparently a certain R34 GT-R Z-Tune!

The road to Dutton has been fueled by heartache and pain - with some amazing effort made and challenges met to get the cars ready in time. We'd all love to see some SAU support!

I should be in Shep on Friday night (accomodation pending) and for the day on Saturday.

Daft question, where is it in Shep? Will it be clearly sign posted? Not that I doubt the people I might be with won't know where it is anyway!

You sure its not at Essendon on Sunday Juz? The latest event schedule I got we were at Essendon in the morning at Sandown after lunch. But then you should have the manual now so you should know best.

Alan - we just drag up and down the main street at Shep. I mean where else in Shep could we possibly do motorsport?

Nice. Is Sandown a better spectator sport than Essendon?

Might take the little miss down to inject her veins with some motorsport!

James, is the Z-Tune actually gonna be entered into this Dutton?... coz that would be sweeet!

McQueen and I spotted the R32 Golf (car 33) in all it's stickery goodness parked outside the Playboy Mansion last night. Would have let the tyres down, but it's not in our class :P

Fern: 2x motorkhanas at Essendon then laps and another motorkhana at Sandown

Snows: after about 2hrs work last night, the bullet now has a perfectly working horn. You guys don't stand a chance ;)

Actually I've had 8hrs sleep every night this week. That's more important than any horn. ;)

You boys better stop worrying about crap like dataloggers and other useless stuff and get some sleep tonight cause we don't need another Peter Brock incedent. Seriously.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
