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.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
