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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      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.
