Ok as part of the ARC Forum Battle - SAU is looking for represenatives to take out the DRAG section.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/381974-arc-car-forum-battle-sau-represent-2012/

RESTRICTIONS:

Car must run DOT approved Radials

SUPP REGS (partial):

http://forumbattle.com.au/drag/

http://forumbattle.com.au/regulations/

ENTRY LIMIT:

4 cars from SAU.

The regs IMO cannot be complete as there is a lot still missing. So at present I'm assuming at this stage it means DOT approved radials, given you could legally use them on the street.

COSTS:

SAU will cover 50% of the entry fee - so $75 only

I'm sure there are some that could run a solid 9.XX pass on DOT approved radials and bring home the trophy for SAU :wub:

Who out there fits the bill? Do you know someone that is a SAU User, but doesn't browse SAU every day?

Post up users, cars whatever - need to know and start organising like... Yesterday!

Normal rules will apply as per the Regs.

So I'm assuming yes at this point. But I'm also assuming we will get 2 reps that will be in the 9s... So its very much going to apply and these guys will already comply so it won't be a major problem.

Well it says Rego – Not which state.

That’s what sucks about having regs that basically say “free for all”. VIC has ridiculous rules where NSW/QLD do not and can get away with a lot more.

Was chatting to a mate just then, I can see a lot of protests being lodged with the only major regulation being “owner driver & street rego”…

That are going to be out and out race-cars coming along quite easily, as it is clearly within the rules.

At the end of the day all that matters is the rules, meet them and that's all you need to do.

No more, no less.

So - Who meets the rules and runs 9s? :)

That's was what I was going to say. Street legal and a race car with plates are very different.

There are always protests when it come to street car super star events etc which is unfortunate as I love street legal drag cars that are stupid quick.

I do know of a Torana that runs low 8s that will prob turn up and is 100% legal and registered from sydney No idea what forum it will represent though

What about Jangles who now has TWOOGLE...? Or one of the auto boys.

Maybe Julian (KIL_351) he has a pretty wild 32GTR with 1000+hp

Superjet760...?

im not caged or teched but im happy to go out on radials with my gtr... still a stock 5 spd at the moment but the T400 shouldnt be too far away... (been saying this since may but apparently everything is ready to go)

mine makes around 1050 at the wheels at the moment but if i race it ill prob throw another 5 pounds in it.

if not, im ready to hire out WSID for a private day and do some testing if anyone is keen shoot me a message.

Problem would be Calder Park rules which you would run under.

Cars running quicker than 10.99 seconds, as aforementioned details above and the following:


    * Minimum 4 point roll cage,
    * Minimum 4 point Safety Harness,
    * Longer wheels studs protruding beyond the face of the rim by 1 diameter of the wheel stud.
    * Open Headers permitted, but are not to point down toward the track
    * NOS permitted, however, if fitted inside the vehicle, the bottle must be fitted with a vent tube from the appropriate OEM or equivalent of the bottle.
    * Engine Oil Filter Clamp required on spin off type filters. NOTE: System 1 and Oberg type filter designs are exempt.
    * Drive Shaft Loop

Cars running quicker than 9.99 seconds, as aforementioned details above and the following:


    * Minimum 6 point roll cage,
    * Minimum 5 point Safety Harness,
    * Personal Safety Equipment per requirements of the current ANDRA Rule Book required. This includes gloves, fire proof suit, SFI approved Helmet, Neck Brace, etc.
    * Vehicles running faster than 140 mph require a parachute.
    * Those who wish to enter competition class must have a roll cage or else they must race as a street car.

And Calder are SUPER anal about it too. There is a guy @ the end of the strip. Looks @ the times.

You run faster than the time vs gear - you get sent home (street meets). So given that you might not even get ONTO the track @ such an event like this

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
