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?

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
