I will be there with both cars. R32 is now roll caged, has new OS giken R3C triple clutch and new OS giken box with HD input shaft. Trust 6-speed dog box is out to get its yearly inspection. Soon will have new tune with the 1000cc injectors and dual bosch fuel pumps done on the 25th.

V-spec will keep its current OS giken box and tune, and will have 2nd new carbon triple as INTUNE totally f*cked it up, hence why my last attempt the car went backwards. 12.4 and 12.9 I was pretty pissed off. I shouldn't have changed away from Glen and MarK at brake and clutch. Mark knows his stuff, he is really knowledgable. I'm paying for it now.

They better let me run the R32 as my 10 second passes were at a test and tune meet, so technically they shouldn't have kicked me off until I ran that time at a bracket meeting. Watch CADRA be total wankers if the car does 140mph +, it's going to be a total shitfight. If they change their mind on passing my cage then they can forget me going out to drag race ever again. It seems like it's fine for the imports to race as long as your not beating the main V8 players, if you do, then they get sooky. Really is a bit of a red neck attitude out there and I don't think they take the Japanese cars seriously at all.

I think it's more a case of the only cars running the passes that are in the 10's or better are the purpose built cars so for someone in a street car to get there has probably raised a few hairs on the back of peoples necks. Just keep getting faster BK and try do everything to the ANDRA regulations rather than CADRA. If it's at national spec then there can't be any arguement. If they do pick on something I would assume it would be for the safety of yourself and the other racers. I can understand what you are saying about running that time at a test and tune though, it should have been left until a bracket meeting before something was said. Test and tune is exactly that, testing your equipment and making any changes required.

See you out there when my new gearbox is in.

They do make up their own rules though. I can't find anywhere in the ANDRA book that says you need to secure your oil filter, and that is one of the first things they pick on you about. If you can find it tell me where and I'll stand corrected. Anyway are you going to enter the 1320x event ? If so you'll need a four point harness at SFI 16.1. ANDRA is 11's for 4 point but this meet they are inforcing 11.98 OR 110 MPH. That's you, me, ozzy, fab, craig - all over 110mph. Pretty silly I think. I'll see you guys out there after Finke to stir the CADRA pot !

Oscar, how the hell did you manage the 11.7 in RWD ? That's pretty good bro. I dunno when I'll be back out now after buying this house. I didn't have any front diff or cv shafts installed anyway. Was going to bring the white car but I had to work. Blue car is still a while off being fully ANDRA legal. After looking at the calendar I'm going to aim for Aug. 16 with both cars. White car just needs a bit more of a break in with second carbon clutch and to sort out boost control issues. As I told you the blue car has got some oil and water leaks to be addressed.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
