I will be there with both cars. R32 is now roll caged, has new OS giken R3C triple clutch and new OS giken box with HD input shaft. Trust 6-speed dog box is out to get its yearly inspection. Soon will have new tune with the 1000cc injectors and dual bosch fuel pumps done on the 25th.

V-spec will keep its current OS giken box and tune, and will have 2nd new carbon triple as INTUNE totally f*cked it up, hence why my last attempt the car went backwards. 12.4 and 12.9 I was pretty pissed off. I shouldn't have changed away from Glen and MarK at brake and clutch. Mark knows his stuff, he is really knowledgable. I'm paying for it now.

They better let me run the R32 as my 10 second passes were at a test and tune meet, so technically they shouldn't have kicked me off until I ran that time at a bracket meeting. Watch CADRA be total wankers if the car does 140mph +, it's going to be a total shitfight. If they change their mind on passing my cage then they can forget me going out to drag race ever again. It seems like it's fine for the imports to race as long as your not beating the main V8 players, if you do, then they get sooky. Really is a bit of a red neck attitude out there and I don't think they take the Japanese cars seriously at all.

I think it's more a case of the only cars running the passes that are in the 10's or better are the purpose built cars so for someone in a street car to get there has probably raised a few hairs on the back of peoples necks. Just keep getting faster BK and try do everything to the ANDRA regulations rather than CADRA. If it's at national spec then there can't be any arguement. If they do pick on something I would assume it would be for the safety of yourself and the other racers. I can understand what you are saying about running that time at a test and tune though, it should have been left until a bracket meeting before something was said. Test and tune is exactly that, testing your equipment and making any changes required.

See you out there when my new gearbox is in.

They do make up their own rules though. I can't find anywhere in the ANDRA book that says you need to secure your oil filter, and that is one of the first things they pick on you about. If you can find it tell me where and I'll stand corrected. Anyway are you going to enter the 1320x event ? If so you'll need a four point harness at SFI 16.1. ANDRA is 11's for 4 point but this meet they are inforcing 11.98 OR 110 MPH. That's you, me, ozzy, fab, craig - all over 110mph. Pretty silly I think. I'll see you guys out there after Finke to stir the CADRA pot !

Some would say it's raining. I think it natures answer for drift lube for bitumen. And it'd probably be branded GM. Apply liberally and take mums car for a spin.

Oscar, how the hell did you manage the 11.7 in RWD ? That's pretty good bro. I dunno when I'll be back out now after buying this house. I didn't have any front diff or cv shafts installed anyway. Was going to bring the white car but I had to work. Blue car is still a while off being fully ANDRA legal. After looking at the calendar I'm going to aim for Aug. 16 with both cars. White car just needs a bit more of a break in with second carbon clutch and to sort out boost control issues. As I told you the blue car has got some oil and water leaks to be addressed.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
