haha 5000..you like punishing yourself when it comes time to go through them, dont you?

Great work Team Cheaterer GTRs. Considering the elements it was an out of this world effort to be where you are in the results. If it was dry or semi dry for some more events i think you would have been in a higher position.

And top work to Pete, easily the most excitable Dutton entrant of 2008 :)

Hey guys

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Man, Dutton is a great event, lots of fun, lots of car talk and even more smack talk.

I ended up taking out 1st Rookie Co-Driver which is pretty cool. To the best of my knowledge I'm the ONLY SAU person to have one of them....... mind you it's only been around for a couple of years, so that's probably why.

Jeff and I were in 8th position outright on the first day, and I think we dropped off a little to about 11th on the second, mainly because it was pissing down and we seem to have gotten some really shocking conditions on some of our runs.

Day three we went to Sandown and I popped my cherry there in the pissing rain. Nothing like coming up the back straight at 200 kph in teh wet, with barely any knowledge of the circuit, but the GTR stuck firm and simply needed a gentle brake foot!!!

Jeff and I ran almost identical times on many of the events which shows that we were driving the GTR to it's limits, so maybe next year we will use a better mouse trap :)

Jeff did however beat me more times than I beat him, so I guess that means he's still faster than me..... I guess. >_<

All in all, I had a ripper weekend, and I added many more car sounds to my already impressive collection.

Yes, there was drift, yes there was blazing power slides and yes, I enjoyed every second of it.

Yes, there was also a breakage in teh GTR, the good old front diff had a fit and smashed itself. It had been picking up the wheels and spinning them all day in the wet and we think it just wore out eventually on a launch at Bombardier carpark.

Luckily I had enough of a points lead to end up winning my Rookie by 70 points which is a fairbit I suppose.

Thanks to Jeff for letting me loose in what is a pretty complete and fast car, all it needs to be even quicker is a handbrake that works and a tail that's a little more happy. But it's a Targa car after all.

The purple one however, is not :D

BASS OUT

Jarrod.... Where are those photos of me in Jeff's car !!!!

Pete did a great job for his first Duttons

Not sure he knew how competitive this event is

how ever the 63 year old granddad still won 21 events to Pete's 13

Maybe next year

thanks Pete for a fun three day

and I promise to open the windows next time the odors build up too much

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
