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!

Competitor gates open: 9am

Spectator gates open: 12 noon

Qualifying: 12 – 4pm

yer not to bad got a form sent out from WSID on friday. Its 110 but its 20 bucks for spectors so only about $50 to race if you have 3 mates that want to come. Mite come spec

Edited by blk180

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.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
