Do you think Dr.Claw would help Gadget? He-Man would help Skelator? Sylvester would help tweety?

Foghorn Leghorn helped the Dog! :blink: You kow the type of assistance where you think we are helping but we are really sabotaging your entry. Much like they did with the rotors on our car this year!

Say Ryan, you want a turbo? I gave Mav a HKS turbo you can have!

Hey guys. I'm would like to give this a go next year. What does the whole thing cost all up with accomodation and everything? I was looking on the web site and it said $2790 for this years event. Is that for both the driver and co driver or each? How much do the sponsors help?

I'm keen to give it a go. Need a co-driver too.

OK - I'm back.

The lull after Dutton has gone away (The one where you don't want to look at your car) I'm ready to go fast again.

I'm pumped already.

The use of again suggests past tense. When have you ever gone fast?

As for what it costs? Budget $2500-$3000 each and you will be in the ball park. Its good fun, just make sure you dont get caught spending 5 k trying to make the car reliable/fast etc as its just dead money and makes the event very expensive

Advice = start saving now

Tip1 - Start the event with new tyres, pads, fluid, clutch.

Tip2 - Don't try to upgrade your car at the last minute. Stick with what you know.

Tip3 - Have fun, Don't try to win it.

Tip4 - Think up funny stickers

Dont do what we did and use the semis for the deca just before Dutton. we finished with next to nothing on the rears.

Next year is going to cost around $3150-$3500 for a team entry. Factor in tyres, brakes, fuel and fluids plus accomm (although we stay at the caravan park as usual as its way cheaper) and alcohol spending $$$ and your looking at around $5-6K for the weekend shared between 2 people.

The Event sponsors don't help you at all - except in keeping the entry fee's down to as minimal as possible. But thats not a cost saving you'll ever feel. Other sponsorship is up to you to get. If you are smart you'll do what Bris and Chris did and sign-up a co-driver that will bring sponsors with them. :)

Time for some vids - Check this one out.

The SPC carpark event is one of the "big pressure" events because all the locals come out for a look and the whole field is watching you. It's an event you love to hate, but love it once you nail it. I'm always sh1tting myself before this one!

More vids to come once I get a chance.

Hats off to you Scotsman in the 33 GTR. You sure can drive!

I remember ur drive at Sandown last year!

Big congrats to Snowy & Blaise for taking outright winners of Dutton Vic 2007!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
