Well, hot on the heels of the first Dutton Rally event, its been confirmed that the next one will be on the June long weekend next year, 4-6 June.

Just thought I'd post up to guage interest from the club in joining in. For 2 drivers with top line cheater tyres you should allow up to $2k each for the weekend.

The earlier you start preparing, saving and approaching sponsors the easier this can be :)

So, who's interested? If there are more than about 5 entries I'll loby those guys for a 6 cylinder Tubro class so we can beat up XR6Ts in peace :)

Yes you only need a level 2s licence:

I dont think Id go for sticky tyres next year, Im going for better tread for the skid pan stuff (Save $1,600)

The best way to get sponsors is to contact companies that you do business with. Dont expect someone that does not know you to give you money, esp not speed shops tyre co. etc. I prepare a package with pictures of my car and send them to people in charge of Companies that I know.

In return for their tax deductible donation they get framed pictures of *their sponsored race car*. I ask for $1,100 per sponsor, which covers them for all the events I do each year. I can normally get $5,500 to $7,700.

I also split the entry fee and accomodation down the middle as after all they are using my car, wheels, tyres, petrol, consumables etc. Strangely enough my co-drivers always seem to be able to wring more out of my car than I can. (Other peoples cars go faster syndrome)

Hey guys!

Fatz is already frothing at the mouth over next years Dutton. The enthusiasm is infectious! I think I've caught it!

I've just gotta find some people stupid enough to sponsor me and someone stupid enough to co-drive a bloody WRX. Any takers..........................thought not! :bahaha:

Seriously though I'd love to be there in 2004. I'm getting plenty of practice in on the skid pan!

Cheers,

Ben

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
