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?

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
