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?

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
