And this is the layout of what was at Essondon last year and I expect to be so again (26&27). Its going to look a lot different but thats basically the shape of the event.

Dutton footage is traditionally crap.

You'd think that maybe they would say show the fastest runs on each of the events or at least show a COUPLE of full runs of events so people can see what it's all about.

But no they like to just show 3s clips of cars moving doing possibly ANYTHING. The only people who know exactly what was happening is the person in the car. But general viewers have no idea.

For someone who has never seen this event in the flesh and would one day like to have a go (just to run and have some legal fun on varied environments) you're right. I have no idea of it's entirety and it's frustrating to watch on tv.

Is there anyway to get any better footage? Do the SAU guys take their own footage?

We will do this year - we have our very own "groupies" following us and will take good footage of the whole event. And not just of the SAU boys but of as much as possible. The links above were from our day at DECA on the weekend and we have about 3hrs of footage from there. We should have tripple that from Dutton! lol

Just got Dutton Entry list. 7 GTR's entered on the list! (Anyone else from here??)

Also noticed down at entry number 82 they have quietly slipped in the pairing of Dean Evans and Warren Luff. Hopefully they are driving either a stock Corrolla or a Stock Fraud or else we could all be in trouble. lol

Alrighty Simmo and Russell - we are now ready to take up the challenge.

We had a run at Winton on the weekend (Rnd 5 of our Club championship) but we also used the day to let our Dutton co-drivers have a turn behind the wheel of our cars.

Both me and my co-driver (Scotsman) had 2 three lap sessions in my car and we both had an identical fastest time of 1.35.2 which would have been good enough for 4th fastest in Dutton last year.

One of the other GTR teams were there also (Car 68) - Frank and Aaron and they ran times of 1.31.7 and 1.32.8 repectively! Stupid fast. Basically the biggest difference between out 2 cars is in the suspension and my new stuff goes in this Wed (couldn't get it fitted in time for last weekend) but that should make the cars pretty similar (I'll be about 30kw's down on power but thats about it)

And the rex boys in our little group ran a 1.35.7. So collectively we are as ready as we can be to take up the challenge this weekend. I can't wait and am damn excited!

:D

hell yeah should be fun!!

only got the engine back in last thursday and tuned on the weekend, so i hope

it all goes okay as we have had not had anytime for a shakedown run.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
