ANDRA Sport Compact Championship final moves to May 2006

Recently, the Cabin Group responsible for the Drag Combat events has notified ANDRA that it is no longer able to commit to the 2005/2006 ANDRA Sport Compact Championship Series. Citing commercial reasons, the Cabin Group advised ANDRA that they would not be continuing their drag racing program.

This will impact on three of the six rounds of the championship schedule announced recently. Drag Combat events were to be held on rounds 2, 3 and 6. Round 2 and 6 were to be held at WSID in NSW, and Round 3 was ear-marked for Willowbank Raceway in QLD.

ANDRA has already exploring alternatives to replace two of the rounds. The final round will now be the Compak Attak event at WSID on May 21st 2006.

“This certainly presents a challenge, because the series was locked in and ready to go”, commented Jason O’Halloran – ANDRA Sport Compact Director. “ANDRA is still determined to make this a win – win situation. We remain confident that the series will be a huge success, and the racers will enjoy the new opportunities on offer”.

The revised 2005/2006 ANDRA Sport Compact Championship Series dates and locations will be confirmed within two weeks, and another press release will follow to up date with more information as it comes to hand. The Fast Fours Jamboree at Willowbank Raceway in QLD on the 17th and 18th of September will remain as the opening round of the Series.

For further information please direct all enquiries to Jason O'Halloran, ANDRA Sport Compact Director at [email protected]

thats the thing I never got to race at any of them hahaha

they are more interested in putting on a show eh, can't understand that they can get 10,000 people to look at a glorified "carpark" over two days.....and no-one wants to see actual cars racing...what is wrong with this country....in the states its the other way around.....and i thought "septics" were strange

Lets see what we can do to get another couple of events happening and keep the very first Sport Compact Series alive and kicking.

Screw [cabin] and their PI$$ANT, money-grabbing knob-polishing show scene.

I resolve to not purchase another issue of Autosalon Magazine or attend another [cabin] show and I encourage you all to do the same.

HEY hang on all you people!!!! I love CABIN. They have been great to me, they were right behind me all the way throughout my rise to glory!! Trophies, novelty cheques, VIP dinners. I loved John Baremans and his mullet.

Twoogle and I have never been so happy.

This is good news and it is also bad news. bad news is that there are only three SCS events, but only two will have points available. Good news is that CABIN are not longer involved in this sport. They can have their Autosalons. Drag racing is for racers not ricers.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
