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!

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
