Just got back from presentation a little while ago.

After cutting short the 3 round qualifying rounds, BK & I were fast tracked to a final based on points.

BK came first and I was runner up in Super Street/Sedan out of 14 entrants(mostly heavily modified V8s). We both received trophys & certificates.

Not bad seeing as we were the only guys in our class who drove to & from the event and werent running slicks.

I didnt get any better times today, either missing gear changes or hitting the rev limiter.

BK got slightly better 1/4 times & mph after changing back to standard rims.

Yesterday was much better as we got more practice and it wasnt as humid.

Fabio & Pinky were in the pits and I saw several guys on the hill supporting us.

Was a good day except some yobbos in the crowd calling out 'take your 4 cyl home(WTF)' 'Jap Crap' etc, but most people were supportive.

Where were all the other imports? If any of you guys entered street class you would have had a good chance to win.

Most of the cars were running very slow, with some of the BIG V8s only running 15-16 second 1/4s.

Street class was taken out by a very tidy Mitsubishi Triton with a SR20 Turbo from Darwin. Runner up was a Falcon.

I didnt get too many photos, so I will be looking foward to seeing everyones pics & vids.

Ok, now im regreting being a tight ass. Wish i pay'd the money and joined you guys on the strip :) I didnt think i'd stand a chance against them guys even with awd..

Im sure my lil 4 cyl awd would have put some v8's to sleep but just didnt think it would do it.

Good stuff with the trophys and certs and putting up with the heat on the track lol.

Hey ozzy, what was your consistant 1/4 time? well average time? Some or your launches were sweet as so just seeing.

Well as Cammo said, whens the next meet? I'll have my stuff here then i can race along side you and BK and who ever of us boy's decide to join up :( And if i can part with my money haha.

Catch ya

CADRA site says next meet is on 20th April.

I would think it might be less formal with less people from interstate and maybe no ANDRA officals.

My average times ranged from 12.2 -12.9 all weekend, while BK was very consistent around the low 12's with a best of 12.1.

The street class was that under represented by imports, I might have to bring my Datto out next time to make up numbers.

I have seen Datto's with similar mods to mine do high 14's.

In drag racing the most consistent win races, not necessarily the fastest.

The boy's over on Rexnet rekon im between 12.5 and 12.9. If i get even into the 13sec make im other doing something really wrong or the heat where we are is too much.

But i guess thats whats the strip is for. To find out what you can run eh.

Everyone should have a run :) Get the jap imports out there.

Hey ozzy,

Since the next meet is April 20th. Could you do us all a favor. Since you've been in it now and pay'd for it. Could you place the prices down for us boys. We're all hearing diffrent prices and you've been in it.

So price for Superstreet class?

Price for Street class?

And do we have to get a ANDRA licence?

Like wise for the CADRA Licence?

Ah.. How much does it then cost for each meeting?

What do you need to race?

Whats the go with the $25 membership?

Anything else i've missed please put it in. Sorry about the Questions but it be good to hear it from you since you've competed.

Cheers Ozzy.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
