CONGRATULATIONS SNOWCONE AND BLAISE FOR WINNING DUTTON RALLY VICTORIA 2007!

After finishing 2nd outright in the Dutton Rally Western Australia a few weeks back, Snowy and Blaise have done one better this time and stormed the field in this years Dutton Rally Victoria!

SAU-Vic had a strong representation at Dutton this year and I can only imagine next year there will be more giving it a righteous shot.

It was a fantastic effort by the guys and girl considering some of the competition who had bottomless pit budgets and easy access to overnight parts from around the world (well, maybe not).

Breaking it down:

Outright Crew:

Snowflake/Blaise - 1st

Other outright results unavailable as the Dutton site screwed up their linking to the results.

Outright Driver:

Snowmobile - 2nd

Scotsman - 14th

Bellsy - 29th

Brisby - 38th

Golgo - 43rd

Outright Co-Driver:

Blaise - 1st

Handbags - 22nd

BigBird - 35th

Juz - 43rd

Handicap:

Bellsy/BigBird - 4th

Brisby/Juz - 7th

Golgo/Richard Andrews - 18th

Rookie:

Bellsy/BigBird - 3rd

Special mention to Scotsman and Handbags for finishing so high in the standings considering the mechanical failure suffered on Friday up in Shepperton which stopped them from competing in a number of the events!

Bris and Juz went hard in the RB20 and put on a great show! Bellsy's Sil80 kicked ass as a drift machine and showed a lot of the more expensive machines out there that racing isn't just about having an expensive car. James looked the part in the Aston Martin Vantage but unfortuantely the clutch (and front bar) wasn't up to hardships of a Dutton weekend but finished in fine form looking very latte everywhere he went.

Congrats guys

It was good seeing you cut loose out there :P

I have some pics from the event **HERE**

Congrats again and it was a good showing from everyone that turned up to cheer on the guys and girl competing :)

Awesome result guys!!!!

Leewah - according to the Dutton results Blaise come first in outright co-driver....

Snowy did an awesome job, how the hell did Gazzard beat him outright???

I thought it was in the bag....

Regardless it was a top effort, and well done to rest who had a go, Ryan/Bigbird big congrats to you guys for doing an awesome job first time out!!!!

I also saw that on the website last night and would be interested to know.

Also how does the handicap category work?

Fantastic result to Snowman and Blaise, you both worked hard for it with track days/events in each others cars. Outstanding effort guys.

Well done to everyone else with Bigbird/Littlebird combo being rookies and doing so well, Juz and Bris in the crazy silver bullet, James in the Aston and Scotbags for pulling those results off after such an unfortunate weekend mechanically!

BTW - There was almost a prime photo opportunity as Juz went to drive the ACRA final course. Just about to roll up to the start gate and she went to pass her handbag out the window to...........................

Handbags!

but it went back behind the seat :D

Well done again all, top effort by everyone :worship:

Of course Snow plough and Blaise, huge congrats. Handbags and Chris...hard luck :D

But Ryan and Jarrod, getting the results you two did in the little 180SX...you punted it very well and deserved the class win and strong overall standing.

I so hope the cameras were rolling at Winton, the pass on the Fezz was soo fun, even of it did hurt the lap times a little

Now to find the next Winton and Sandown track day :worship:

Ok...so my turn. Whilst Juz and i didnt win, 7th Team Handicapped Outright (not blue parking permit handicapped but not far off) was tops considering Juz had to surrender Friday afternoon runnig with a cracked rotor and much of Friday was spent driving/conserving the cracked rotor.

But despite us not setting the world on fire i had a blast...which would not have been possible without Team Support Mav and Bec. Troy over at MCR for donating his time helping with getting things ready on the car and coming up with a better Dutton Sticker then Snowie. And the important late night messages! :(

Tom for the Friday night run with new rotors. Racepace for actually making my car handle but still entertaining to drive...and of course the reliability i am seeing from the engine with the wick turned up.

Starbucks (Tony) for lending me the STI for some running around and for giving the unti a clean up despite it beign all my car crap over the living room :D Jack for the fuel drums. Marcus (Ronin09 for donating some top shelf brakes pads to the cause...and

... and Juz for giving my car hell and sounding so damn good every step of the way. Getting out of the car shaking like a leaf after every run....helping with oil changes...not slapping me too hard when i ran from the camera crew (From now on i shall be known as "Doesnt do interviews Troy"). But generally making for a fun weekend away, and hopefully forgiving her team mate for a vice or two :worship:

But done and dusted.... til next year!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
