Afraid it is. The only good news is it was his own car this time. The last time he blew an engine up a week before a Dutton Rally it was my bloody car/engine!

He's got his hands on another one though so with a few all nighters they should still be in the game.

WTF? Poor prick, just what he needs before the bills start coming in for the baby.

I am feeling the loss already for missing this. Nobody wants a co-driver do they :P

Bris, I was considering running the 34 in it while Dean's away and giving you a call in return for your offer last year, but it's just TOO rich mate......

Great Pics Graham :blink:

Were you entered?

Dutton NSW is of interest to me. But I can't see myself doing it this year. I've told myself to stop wasting money on useless motorsport.

Useless motorsport is there such a thing! :(

I am hoping to do it in November if my sponsor comes through..going to be a rookie so will be an experience for me..

Great Pics Graham ;)

Were you entered?

Nope, not entered, was waiting for phonecall to go work up north (been waiting over 2 weeks) got the s@#ts & decided to go see what Dutton was all about, good excuse to drive the Stag, caught up with old motorbike nutter friends in Collie (accomodation) watched Dutton for a while, not really a spectator sport from where I was standing, unless yer an eagle, but looks like fun if yer init. Missed the smell of methanol....sob. Took a few more pics but they's mostly the same perspective, a videocam with sound would give you a better image but I did'nt have that. Maybe con these competitors to fit carcam, especially the dude that took the detour :)

Cheers GW

So anyone entering NSW round?? Or am I going to be on my own? :P

Guys can anyone help me on info of what tyres you should used?? Snowman, Scotman, Duncan??

I am going RE55's but not sure on what type I should use, Has anyone used the "TT" do they get chewed up bad with this sort of 3 day event??

  • 2 weeks later...
Use the SR2's. They are your best bet (and what we always use).

That way you can be sure they will last ad you should also get some use with them after the event for a few track days etc.

Thanks Snowy!

Can anyone tell me how hard Dutton is on a car? GTR owners??

Is it basically a DECA/Texikhana for 2 days? and a supersprint for the last day?

How much time do you get in the car?

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
