waker's short course started on an access road off the main straight into a series of S bends then onto the back straight through some witches hats then right into the main straight again chicaning through some witches hats then into a tightening right hander (which claimed a number of cars including one very unlucky BMW!!!), back across the start line, through the S bends, along the back straight again and then stopping in the "garage" just before the right onto the main straight...a pretty sweet run!

Thanks franks.

For those that want the dingaling song that we spoke about over the weekend... got to the following link and right click and save the song titled "Chuck Berry - My Din..."

great weekend

at least this time there is no pete fell of the balcony story just the kel fell on the floor naked story

please tell kell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oi boys - i thought we agreed that what goes on tour stays on tour!!!!

(Petie, you're just jealous because I didn't invite you to fall naked on the floor with me) :wassup:

Well, first up thanks for all the support from the club and forums, there was a great turn up on Sunday, not to mention the hard core drinkers who made it along all weekend (not that they made any events on saturday morning after a big friday night tho!)

Full results are not up yet, but we certainly didn't make the top 10 this year.  Simmo on the other hand did, coming first outright in the EVO 8, top effort against some top notch competition :)

Highlights of the weekend score-wise went to Dan who landed a 4th place in his first shot at the Button Rally, after a top run in the wet figure 8 at EC.  Also a huge effort by Pete to pedal a very recalcitrant R31 around Eastern Creek track in 1.53 on very poor street tyres.  Kel was kicking my arse all weekend in the motorkhana stages, although she did require a quick underwear change after a big off on the Sutton Road hillclimb!

Pete also landed 3rd co-driver in  a hard fought class of 3, and got a trophy.  Since there were 4 drivers in class A I missed out :)

Yep- Like he said- thanks to everyone who made it possible for us to run this weekend!

thank you very much dan!!!  

idliketo thank the rest of the pit crew members and those who helped get us all vershnickered during the weekend!

oh and more picks pls

.... and like Tim said- thanks to everyone who helped keep us in 'good spirits' all weekend

;-)

yeah I'll sort pics in the next few days....there are *heaps*

but nothing like Jason's collection! 4,200 thats a lot of hard drive space! but URL not right I think, I can see them at http://www.pbase.com/duttonrally/nsw04

Yes, the 2004 ones are at the URL Above

All up we have almost 8Gb worth (thank god for X-Drives and 1Gb Micro Drives)

The site -->www.duttonrallyphotos.com is the front page for ALL of the Dutton Rally Images.

just click on the 2004 NSW event link.

They should be all uploaded today - we had to spend all day yesterday sorting out those going into the newspapers and Magazines etc,

Keep an eye out in...

Daily Telegraph

Manly Daily

Sydney Morning Herald

drive.com.au

autospeed.com.au

Fast Fours Magazine

Hot Fours Magazine

(plus a few others I can't remember that asked for images) for stories and images of the event coming soon....

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
