What happened to http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...4058#post954058 hahaha you were told it wouldn't pass months ago :D

im buying a straight bolt in one, anyways if they dont accept it, ill just change the plates over and drag like my first time

I don't think Jap cages are built to one particular standard anyway.

As for tech inspection, I am sure that I was told by another drag racer that a half cage is passable, but can't recall under what circumstances. Anyone?

Half cages are not acceptable. The rules are clearly laid out in the ANDRA rulebook. you need a minimum six point welded cage.

I spoke to some people in the know last night and was told that for a car that runs 10.00-10.99 a half cage is fine. Any quicker and a 6 point cage is required. I was also told that (techncally) it didn't have to be welded in, but that ANDRA won't pass it if it isn't.

Yes, you're right. As long as the trap speed stays under 140 MPH and the ET is slower than 9.999 you can fit a half cage with an intrusion bar. I don't think you'd bother though because it's easier to get the full cage done and be done with any more hassles no matter what ET or trap speed you run (as far as roll cages go).

4.4.7 Roll bar/cages

Street registered cars with a fixed steel roof and unmodified monocoque construction running between 10.00 and 10.99 (1/4 mile) and/or less than 140 mile per hour (225 kph).

Single rollover hoop covering the full width ofthe drivers compartment with two bolted backstays and a bolted side intrusion bar constructed to ANDRA requirements as a minimum.

All other sedans, sedan based or open vehicles 10.99 and quicker.

Full roll cage mounted at a minimum of 6 points.

Hey all the classes are DYO - where is the fun in that? Was about to fax the entry form until I saw that.

So not only do they have a specific DYO class based on E.T., but now all of last years heads up classes are reduced to a pathetic, boring, grandma class. The only heads up category is the Pro RWD? Street racing is not drag racing, but someone hitting the brakes before passing the timers is not drag racing either.

Ahh found the small print

PRO RWD will race heads up with quickest 8 vehicles competing under the 3 Round Formate System. Sport FWD, Sport RWD/AWD, All Motor, Front Runner, Sport Mod & Oz Mod will race on a Dial Your Own Handicap system with the quickest 16 vehicles competing in Elimination Style racing. Non-qualifiers with these classes will automatically drop into the ET3 Bracket for non-qualifies and continue racing elimination style.

Quickest 16 across all the classes? Or per class?

    • On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.
    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
