For $55, I'll definately give it a go :)

It would be nice if they told you how to enter though??

Or do you just turn up on the day?

I should be in - provided that I sort out a few issues and that all goes well at the Drag Day.

And yes, we need as many people to enter as well as spectate as possible to ensure that future SC events continue.

I just got this email tonight if that gives you any more information Grumpz.

4, 6 & Rotary Drag Warz Declared @ W S I D – December 17!

Thursday, 17 November 2005 - Posted by Dean Neal & Peter Pike

(Sydney, NSW) The ANDRA Sport Compact racers have received an early Christmas present with the announcement that the cancelled November 27 4, 6 & Rotary Drag Warz event has now been rescheduled for Saturday December 17.

The event, cancelled due to the closure of Ferrers Rd on the original day allocated for the event, will feature all ANDRA Sport Compact brackets (SPORT FWD, SPORT RWD, ALL MOTOR, FRONT RUNNER, OZ MOD, SPORT MOD & PRO RWD ) plus ET (DYO) Brackets for those vehicles and racers that do not comply or do not wish to nominate for those classes.

The event is an official ANDRA Sport Compact event, so ANDRA National records can (and will!) be set on the December 17 date.

Entry forms will be mailed out later this week and a number of Queensland racers have already indicated that they will be attending the rescheduled event.

Jamboree & Compak Attak promoter Ray Box has volunteered to assist WSID to ensure the success of the event. “While we certainly have the infrastructure and skills to run the event we welcome Ray’s assistance with open arms” commented Motorsport Manager Peter Pike.

The ongoing development of the Sport Compact scene in Sydney is an important one and it is envisaged that this first event will serve as the launch-pad for the ongoing development of this unique form of Drag Racing action, with a fun vibe and low stress day of racing planned.

The event will be run as a day/night event and entries will be restricted to 200, so you need to get your entry forms in quickly!

This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway... :P

Can someone please confirm the correct class to select on the entry form?

I'm guessing it's Sport RWD, but I remember seeing Skylines competing with ET2 (or something like that) at one of the other Sport Compact events at WSID earlier this year.

Just want to make sure I choose the correct class if I decide to enter :)

what about the 2 front matching front seat rule..

in the qld meeting that was a mistake and was going to be amended...

cause i am not going to spend 800bucks for a seat that i dont use....

mark its shane with the cressida mate.

i would suggest that it wont be amended. agreed its a stupid rule, i bought 2 seats to meet the rule. i think as long as the seat in the passenger side is ADR approved and able to be used on the street it should be fine.

unless some one has put in a rule change submission and paid the money to have it heard, it wont be changed, and hence you will get pinged at sydney if they logged you in qld for it. i would be contacting Jason Ohallaren about this other wise you will have problems mate.

i would suggest they wont change it as they want the class to be seen as the street registered class.

now you AWD boys have enough for your own 16 car field i wish they would seperate the class to make it fairer for the other skyline guys to get into the 16 car s/rwd field. i think this is part of thhe reason people arent racing at comp meets, cause they dont see themselves making the 16 car field.

Shane :D

ECRO33, nominate for sport rwd and if you dont make the 16 car field in sport rwd they will drop you back to et2.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
