Pete demonstrated exceptional driving skill in a competition filled with professional drivers ( Steve Burke and David Cuffe) and extraordinary Cars, Gemballa Porsche, race spec Evo, Gt-3's and a top R34 GTR with incredible acceleration.

Watching pete do a motorkhana that was designed for clubmans or 4wd rally cars and getting a second place or his EXTREME late braking at the last turn at Wakefield were some of the highlights of this weekends Dutton.

AND it all goes to prove, Yes beer not only makes you better looking,...but drive faster.

To a pair of nice guys... Congrats on a great weekend, Club members you can be proud of these guys.

(Convince Duncan to put up a pic of his SUPER TYRES after the event)

To every one else, just save $20 a week to enter next years event.

you the man dom,

i think he was some 70 km/h faster than us, that would have been some ride, i was crapping myself at the braking marker doing 70 ks less. i love it

i think the club should attempt to get about 5 or 6 cars down there next year then we can have some seriouse fun....

ill be there for sure

pete

Duncan and Pete scored 10th outright. A fantastic effort in the GTS25-t up against all kinds of Porsches and M3s etc. and drivers like James Dutton and Warren Luff.

:Party:

Dominic took 11th outright in the only GT-R in the field. Next year I think the competition will be tougher when more people figure out what a bargain the Skylines are performance wise.

:uh-huh:

lol, Dominic became the only GTR when the CRD R34 blew its motor up. I guess they were missing Sump Baffles :bahaha:

But you're right, two skylines entered, we beat 6, and got beaten by 5 porkers, including some real monsters - and given the attitude from some of them, wasn't that sweet :(

Skylines have amazing performance for the price :D

Yep, those photos are thanks to two of our great sponsors on the weekend.

Thanks to Jason from Drift King Photos (Southo on these forums) who was also the official photographer on the weekend.

Thanks also to Powerplay who lent us the exhaust for the weekend, we asked for the nastiest, noisiest exhaust they had, this one really delivered. Didn't seem to make much mopre power, but you could hear us coming from miles off :) Sorry TWS, its going back to Powerplay, and Bonkers already has his eye on buying it....

Casting my un-trained eye over these results leads me to the conclusion that :

A) A job well done by all - and heaps of fun had by all

B) You guys should drive more in the rain :) (ie Need more practice on the wet circuits)

BTW, refer to events section for details on wet skid pan training

:shake:

:(

You are spot on B-man

Apart from lack of skill in the wet..... they re55s we are using were excellent in the dry, but terrible in the wet. What grooves there were, were very shallow and wore very quickly.

It is interesting that the guys in the Z came 7th outright on the back of excellent performance in the wet tracks. Their results on the dry tracks were mid field but there were about 40% wet events.

Goes to show that choosing the right tyres for the mix of events is cruical. It is likely that we would look at wet "r" tyres next time out (and take a gtr for traction....)

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
