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....)

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
