Ok guys I've got the flu so I'll do forms etc tomorrow

Sorry for the delay

That date is 100% the date though

Any questions just ask away, John at WSID has been a legend with answering all my questions and is really helpful so dont be afraid to ask anything if you arent sure. There will be a FAQ sort of thing in the thread though

Steve, just in case you missed it (I know you have the flu :D), 1320ft is an ANDRA official and has made himself available (ie volunteered) to be there on the day. I am sure that he will be happy to answer any questions. Looking forward to this day. If I don't have a car ready, I will gladly put up my hand to help on the day. :bunny:

How old is this ANDRA rule?? So many street cars can and have run under 12 seconds for years now.

Even a stock R35 GTR can go under 12's!!! They need to rethink where they draw the line :closedeyes:

Also I'd be keen to do a drag day!!

Hi Guys & Girls,

I will be there on the Day to sell S/ST licences should you need to get one. But be warned, you run quicker than 12.00 you WILL buy one or park it. And run quicker than 10.99 and you will be parked, no 2nd chances.

Licences are $150 and you can pay cash (please have correct money) or via Credit Card.

Aaron

ANDRA NSW 26

I don't like you....

BRING THE NOISE!!

Better check if noise is okay with 1320ft, you may need to pay him money if you want to bring a loud car. >92db you will buy a permit or you will park it. >100db you will park it, no second chances.

There is no need to be a sarcastic.

I'm giving my time to come and help you guys out. Normally ANDRA stewards arn't present at these events so if you run quicker than 11.99 and dont have an ANDRA licence, you get parked.

Think yourselves lucky this isnt an NHRA sanctioned track. Run quicker than 11.50 and you need a welded 4 point cage and licence.

Ask questions if you want but dont be a dick, this guy is giving his time to assist us on the day, they are not his rules they are the strips rules, if you dont like them dont come, simple.

Please pay no attention to him/take him seriously. No one else is :)

Thanks for your help with getting the day going

    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
