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.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
