Ta Dude,

They all get regularly abused too. Although I really do think for the show to become more relevant to 90% of the punters they need to have a judging criterea based on the everyday streetability of the cars.

Thats very true - end of the day streetable cars are real cars - no disrespect to lenno but the thing isnt a daily driver - if i saw it on the road id respect it more.

LOL @ TJ.. some nice pics man..

and definitely agreed on the street vs trailer queens.. wonder how you could quantify that for a points system though Jash? Maybe it's worth putting in a submission to the people who run the shows?

Cam and TJ,

They have refined the judging system over the years to a point where its about as equitable as it can be to level the playing field. They overlooked the chips and scratches on the 15 based on the fact its a car that gets the crap beaten out of it regularly.

Based on what we learnt this year from the process we're going to refine out cars for next years outing so we've got at least 2 cars in the top 10. Its pretty hard to compete against cars that arent even street licenced, but it can be done.

PS We've got some big ideas for the Naan next year too...

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
