What happened to http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...4058#post954058 hahaha you were told it wouldn't pass months ago :D

im buying a straight bolt in one, anyways if they dont accept it, ill just change the plates over and drag like my first time

I don't think Jap cages are built to one particular standard anyway.

As for tech inspection, I am sure that I was told by another drag racer that a half cage is passable, but can't recall under what circumstances. Anyone?

Half cages are not acceptable. The rules are clearly laid out in the ANDRA rulebook. you need a minimum six point welded cage.

I spoke to some people in the know last night and was told that for a car that runs 10.00-10.99 a half cage is fine. Any quicker and a 6 point cage is required. I was also told that (techncally) it didn't have to be welded in, but that ANDRA won't pass it if it isn't.

Yes, you're right. As long as the trap speed stays under 140 MPH and the ET is slower than 9.999 you can fit a half cage with an intrusion bar. I don't think you'd bother though because it's easier to get the full cage done and be done with any more hassles no matter what ET or trap speed you run (as far as roll cages go).

4.4.7 Roll bar/cages

Street registered cars with a fixed steel roof and unmodified monocoque construction running between 10.00 and 10.99 (1/4 mile) and/or less than 140 mile per hour (225 kph).

Single rollover hoop covering the full width ofthe drivers compartment with two bolted backstays and a bolted side intrusion bar constructed to ANDRA requirements as a minimum.

All other sedans, sedan based or open vehicles 10.99 and quicker.

Full roll cage mounted at a minimum of 6 points.

Hey all the classes are DYO - where is the fun in that? Was about to fax the entry form until I saw that.

So not only do they have a specific DYO class based on E.T., but now all of last years heads up classes are reduced to a pathetic, boring, grandma class. The only heads up category is the Pro RWD? Street racing is not drag racing, but someone hitting the brakes before passing the timers is not drag racing either.

Ahh found the small print

PRO RWD will race heads up with quickest 8 vehicles competing under the 3 Round Formate System. Sport FWD, Sport RWD/AWD, All Motor, Front Runner, Sport Mod & Oz Mod will race on a Dial Your Own Handicap system with the quickest 16 vehicles competing in Elimination Style racing. Non-qualifiers with these classes will automatically drop into the ET3 Bracket for non-qualifies and continue racing elimination style.

Quickest 16 across all the classes? Or per class?

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
