Ben summed it up well :)

My first few runs were absolute shockers. I couldn't get any grip and I was bogging the car down badly. Times aren't even worth mentioning.

After a few decent burnouts, I finally started getting some grip off the line and as a result my 60" times dropped to between 1.8-2.0 which translated into several passes getting progressively quicker from 12.5 to 12.0.

And finally, on my last run of the night, I nailed my first 11 (not ground braking territory I know, but it was still something that I was aiming to achieve with the car, so I was pretty chuffed) - 11.945 @ 118.27mph (60" - 1.816).

I think there's still room for improvement, so I'll be back out there in a few weeks - love it :)

Surprisingly, no.

That being said, it was towards the end of the night, so maybe I was lucky to slip through under the radar.

I'll have to get it eventually though as I only intend on going quicker...

They nailed me on my first run $110.00 and it hurt, Had to wait for a mate to spot me the money before I could run again. :) But thats the rules. Then I ran a 10 later in the night and they said It all changes from here, I felt like they should have given me a refund :) Could I go back and them not know me? I know its safety and all but I only did it once.

Call ANDRA in S.A. and tell them that you bought a SuperStreet licence on the nite after running an 11 but then went o to run a 10. They'll only bill you the difference between the two licences.

Don't go back without your safety stuff - ANDRA have younger staffers there these days that pay attention to the dirty ricers in their skylines! :domokun:

When you say 'safety equipment', are you referring to running 10's or 11's (different licence again once you run a 10 right?).

Is there a website where they've listed the requirements etc.I've had a quick look at the ANDRA site, but it isn't very user friendly...

10's. 11's is just a bit of paper and your andra membership. 10's is the UDL - unlimited drag licence. need a medical, tech inspected car to requirements, clothing etc etc etc.

Get an ANDRA rule book for $20.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
