The Provisional Calander for the Dutton Series 2008 has been released starting this year in Vic.

No QLD round for 2008 (due to lack of facilities) but there is a round in New Zealand (TBC) .

Dates are as follows:

The 2008 provisional dates are:

Rd. 1 Victoria 16-18th May

Rd. 2 Western Australia 25-27th July

Rd. 3 North Island, NZ (TBC*) 19-21st Sept

Rd. 4 New South Wales 28-30th Nov

If the NZ round goes ahead I'm keen to get over there for it if I can find the funds. Sounds like an excelent adventure. :D

Will mostly likely be doing Vic and W.A. again regardless.

Now thats a road trip

How much would the transport cost?

Is it just me or does Dutton seem a bit pricey for the amount of driving you do.......

Yeah for that price, an entrant like myself where I'll be funding everything is going to make me bankrupt!

Looks like it'll be a few years now till I get to do the Dutton :D

Aza,

good idea, I think thats what I'll be aiming to do instead as well!

Two rounds is a Targa Tasmania entry gents, or a Suncoast Rally whatever. Real tarmac rallies, with heaps of competetive kays. Heck, I think Mt Buller is about 3G. 160 odd competetive klm.

One round is more than Targa Rookie entry..... win in your class and free entry to the full event the following year....... Snowy....... :nyaanyaa:

Yeah but my car has issues with Targa rules. Like it's way way way too illegal :nyaanyaa: And putting it to Targa Spec is a giant PITA since it pretty much means I need to change everything (oil cooler, turbo's, diffs, gearbox, exhaust, new set of rims, etc etc)

One day I will do Targa but it will be in a new car - not SMAUG.

But I figure until I have a Targa car I might as well have a crack at becoming the 1st World Tarmac Sprint Series (Duttons new name) World Champion hey. Will look good on the resume if nothing else if we can pull it off. :P

Unless you want to convince Dean to lend me his car next year Ben? :O

Haha, how 'bout we BOTH convince him and share driving/costs? :rolleyes:

Yeah, I see and agree with your other points, guess I just get rail-roaded into the whole dollar v kilometre debate.

And yeah, that'd look pretty cool on the mantle :P

Still think the whole event would be better if we all go to drive GT2 Porches, and at the end of the event we give the cars back :rolleyes: Otherwise i think they are starting to ask a bit too much money for the average punter paying all the entry out of their own pockets in their road cars....i dont think there are that many "serious" competitors and therefore not the sort of support for a more hardcore series that isnt aligned with any other regs from other tarmac events.

meh not their problem. as long as they keep filling the field they will keep charging more because they can.

new name sounds like a real wank to me, hope you were joking andrew....

Haha - if you READ THIS you will see they mention a forth coming name change. That is the new name.

There has been a bit of work going on to try and take this series to the next level. Some of the plans I have been told sound pretty exciting including the desire to run a "super special" stage on the Saturday night in the form of an event like we have seen in the past for Prolog stages at George Town for Targa Tas and Marysville for Mt Buller. If they can pull it off and have a couple of "feature" events at each round I am sure the series will only go forwards.

And Gav - at this stage it looks like we'll be bringing the Blue car over west next year too. :rolleyes:

gutted. the whole goal of my new N1 was to compete in Dutton. And now there isnt one in my backyard! QLD. :D

sucks hard. lol and those entry costs sure are going upwards!

I reckon we'll be back for the Vic round. It's a few weeks after Targa so we should be able to make it.

I dunno whether we'll be in the 34 again, or running Deano's R8. For some reason he seems a little concerned with me barrel rolling it down the back fence at Sandown.... Jeff Beable Porsche style.

Hours was spent on photoshop for this proposal for prospective future sponsors. Very similar to the effort by the Donut King R35 GTR effort you'd agree?

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
