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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
