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???

Oooops. My bad. Updated.

I think Snowy lost 1st outright driver because he was pretty much just toodleing the car around the last few events so they could secure 1st outright team which is a monster effort! Blaise was so far ahead in the co driver category, he just had to complete the event and it was guaranteed.

Fine effort people!

Top stuff guys, everytime I read these dutton threads I get itchy. Hopefully I'll get out there too next year.
I'm getting that feeling too.

Well done everyone. Great results. You've done SAU Vic mighty proud.

Great work everyone!

Absolutely fantastic effort from all - so many names read out! Snowy - top stuff. About time!

And massive thanks to Jack for helping us home.

At least we finished!

Congrats to Snowy and Blaise, good to see you've carried on the results from the WA round.

Congrats also to Steve Jones flew over from WA to drive his EVO 7 in Dutton, now he's flying back to do Targa West in his EVO 9, he managed to come 2nd in the Drivers Handicap, and 12th Outright.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the support.

I was struggling all weekend with this flu and it finally got the better of me yesterday afternoon and now today I am totally dead. I'm off to the doctors shortly then will try and get back on and say a few more things.

But until then I'll just leave you with this - THE GT-R IS KING!

Awesome work Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

Sounds like it was a top weekend and some awesome results!

Good to see SAU VIC out there, if only SAU NSW guys got into it up here!

- Gate

- Scoring a H2 Hummer and trailer for Adam and Chris to drive back to melbourne by asking the owner the following "Can I give you $500 to tow that R33 to Melbourne for us?" the owner answered "Here's the key's just take it yourselves" I didn't realise people like that actual existing, absolute champions! WTF!! :D:worship:

- Gate

- Brisby & Mav's abusive sunday morning, well it was me yelling the abuse but it was self inflicted guys!!

- REV LIMITER is an indication of when you should change gears in an RB20, they are strong and LOVE IT!

Brisby Brisby Brisby, you my friend are an absolute champion, I had an awesome time and it was all thanks to you, I binned my car a few weeks ago and didn't think I was going to make it to Dutton. Even when we were confirmed entries I was still unsure I was going to pick up driving your car as it is such a 'handful' but it was an absolute dream to drive (It would be a bit of a handful for the average punter though :().

Go Hard or go home! Team Gatecrashers! Team let's bin it! We wearn't the quickest but we were the loudest! :D

1 thing I learnt a long time ago Juz. There is no "I" in team but there is a "U" in c*nt :D

well done boys and girls, top efforts!

glad to see ryan and jarrod doing so well in the 180... team 150rwkw FTW! it proves you don't need a big turbo to get decent results!

I think I will definately be in for dutton next year... providing I don't break the car by then... again:/

1 thing I learnt a long time ago Juz. There is no "I" in team but there is a "U" in c*nt :D

I admit it was a dog move. But if my parole officer knew i left NSW i would be in a lot of trouble :worship:

Juz, i had a ball watching you have a ball. REAL GOOD fun. But i hate being photographed let alone filmed, so pulled a Snagglepuss :( Over the weekend thats only two strikes against my name. If i had mustered a 3rd i may have been in real trouble.

But enjoyed this years so much better then last years...mainly because i was a little better organised...only a little though :iluvff:

LOL..."Exit, stage right"

snagglepuss.jpg

i had soo much fun!

hats off to bris and juz for their efforts in the 32, it was soo cool seeing that scream its way through the events, it was a real crowd pleaser at SPC as well. Snowie and blaise, well done!

Many thanks to ryan for letting me flog his car! He really did have a ripper event taking out first in class and finishing up the pointy end of the event. Everyone kept saying "oh your driving that nissan thing". I was spewing when the guys from ignition dvd came up to me at sandown and said, "oh are you guys finished, i wanted to do a feature on you around the track" NOOOO!!

But the high light for me, and lowest point for this particular individual was," Well i didnt hit anything...I hit an evo", Mr. Muppet, James.

Team organised!! haha. i now have some faith in the saying 'if you bring it, you wont need it'.

Big thanks to Mick at Micolour, without his painjob we wouldnt have been able to get any other sponsors. Thanks to Ray from RE customs, The car didnt miss a beat all weekend! , and Dulux AcraTex for making it a bit easier to do this awesome exent! Also thanks to Dfault for the last minute lend of his Pfc.

Highlights:

Winning the Lambo and Fez for a Weekend!

Seeing my car shoot its first flame!

Actually finishing the event!! With driver and co-driver class results!

Newtons spirited run on the skidpan in the dorifto 2wd gtr, which happened to leak oil everywhere for all the evos to drive on.

The long long wang at Deca. I could do it all day and night! .09 bris! :rant::ninja:

The 32 passing the 430 on the outside! I wanted to go out behind him so i could try it too!!

Being part of the biggest, loudest team there!

Well done to everyone involved, bring on Dutton 08

nice work snowclown, you are not very good looking but apparently know which is the gas pedal and which is the other ones. double respect for doing it in the GTR rather than a shitbox evo! congrats.

troy you may not have reached my expectations of first outright this year but i'm sure it's not lack of talent but lack of sabotage. take comfort in the fact you are a much more striking individual than any of the other butt monkeys out there. to be honest if you'd stuck with the nsw brisby plates things would have gone well. now with those vic plates on there god is mistaking you for a victorian and punishing you accordingly.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
