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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?
