Ta Dude,

They all get regularly abused too. Although I really do think for the show to become more relevant to 90% of the punters they need to have a judging criterea based on the everyday streetability of the cars.

Thats very true - end of the day streetable cars are real cars - no disrespect to lenno but the thing isnt a daily driver - if i saw it on the road id respect it more.

LOL @ TJ.. some nice pics man..

and definitely agreed on the street vs trailer queens.. wonder how you could quantify that for a points system though Jash? Maybe it's worth putting in a submission to the people who run the shows?

Cam and TJ,

They have refined the judging system over the years to a point where its about as equitable as it can be to level the playing field. They overlooked the chips and scratches on the 15 based on the fact its a car that gets the crap beaten out of it regularly.

Based on what we learnt this year from the process we're going to refine out cars for next years outing so we've got at least 2 cars in the top 10. Its pretty hard to compete against cars that arent even street licenced, but it can be done.

PS We've got some big ideas for the Naan next year too...

    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
    • Yeah i have R34 with factory small box and now RB25DET NEO swapoed and iam planning to upgrade to big box.  So i would be good as long as i do not change diff? 
    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.
