I'll have some photos by the end of the week. I have close to 5,000 to go through. I should be able to get a few done tonight that i'll post up.

haha 5000..you like punishing yourself when it comes time to go through them, dont you?

nice one guys. instead of sabotaging snowys car i thought some rain might do the trick...

Great work Team Cheaterer GTRs. Considering the elements it was an out of this world effort to be where you are in the results. If it was dry or semi dry for some more events i think you would have been in a higher position.

And top work to Pete, easily the most excitable Dutton entrant of 2008 :)

Hey guys

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Man, Dutton is a great event, lots of fun, lots of car talk and even more smack talk.

I ended up taking out 1st Rookie Co-Driver which is pretty cool. To the best of my knowledge I'm the ONLY SAU person to have one of them....... mind you it's only been around for a couple of years, so that's probably why.

Jeff and I were in 8th position outright on the first day, and I think we dropped off a little to about 11th on the second, mainly because it was pissing down and we seem to have gotten some really shocking conditions on some of our runs.

Day three we went to Sandown and I popped my cherry there in the pissing rain. Nothing like coming up the back straight at 200 kph in teh wet, with barely any knowledge of the circuit, but the GTR stuck firm and simply needed a gentle brake foot!!!

Jeff and I ran almost identical times on many of the events which shows that we were driving the GTR to it's limits, so maybe next year we will use a better mouse trap :)

Jeff did however beat me more times than I beat him, so I guess that means he's still faster than me..... I guess. >_<

All in all, I had a ripper weekend, and I added many more car sounds to my already impressive collection.

Yes, there was drift, yes there was blazing power slides and yes, I enjoyed every second of it.

Yes, there was also a breakage in teh GTR, the good old front diff had a fit and smashed itself. It had been picking up the wheels and spinning them all day in the wet and we think it just wore out eventually on a launch at Bombardier carpark.

Luckily I had enough of a points lead to end up winning my Rookie by 70 points which is a fairbit I suppose.

Thanks to Jeff for letting me loose in what is a pretty complete and fast car, all it needs to be even quicker is a handbrake that works and a tail that's a little more happy. But it's a Targa car after all.

The purple one however, is not :D

BASS OUT

Jarrod.... Where are those photos of me in Jeff's car !!!!

Pete did a great job for his first Duttons

Not sure he knew how competitive this event is

how ever the 63 year old granddad still won 21 events to Pete's 13

Maybe next year

thanks Pete for a fun three day

and I promise to open the windows next time the odors build up too much

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?
