JAGR33

I think Markov has dipped into the 15's but I know JFK has done a 1:16.2. Adam has just smashed the fastest RWD Skyline time today (which coincidentally was his previous fastest). Also there's only three GTR's that have seen that time aswell (that I know of). Good to see all the R&D in the last few months has paid off. Now where are those VIDS!!!!

Well, if my sources are correct Adam punched out a 1:16.6 today at Sandown... I'm speechless..... Actually here's the proof: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results....08/2010.SAN.SS4

No probs mate... Giant Alcons haven't had a run yet, but they are noisey on the street....

LOL, that's me!!! Look forward to seeing your car completed....

Nice work mate, looks like you're flying!!! Wouldn't call it a shitter, looks like a handfull to drive though. In comparison look how boring my car looks on the track at Sandown. Doesn't look (or sound) like it's going quick at all.. Was fun trying to hunt down Snowman (blue 34) and Aaron (white 34 in front). *Sigh* Them were the good old days.....

All good mate, keep up the good work. Unfortunately having a child, working 6 days a week and about to start building my dream home there is no more time (and money!) left for the GT-R. I know it sucks especially when for about 2 years I did around 30 track days. The car now is in storage under a cover, and contemplating selling due to only doing 500kms of street driving in the last 2 years. Maybe in another 2 years time once the dust has settled I might have the time (and the money!) to dust it off and let loose again, I feel I have unfinished business with Winton and PI. For now will just sit back and watch everyone else have some fun, with Roy!!! Or maybe I should just take up Roy's offer and take his car for a drive, although I don't think I'd be driving it to it's potential...

Just to elaborate on this Roy's talking about Sandown times, I do not have sex with teenagers! It's the car that brings out the confidence, I guess I'm smooth due to driving a truck 10-12 hours a day?! What I'm getting at is it requires less talent compared to driving a rwd car at that sort of level.

All the reason why your times are so impressive!!!! You should be stoked considering the money spent on your car and what it has achieved. The problem with GTR's is their weight. If you were to add 400kg's to your car what times do you think it would be capable of then? To get back to your quickest times you would have to spend big dollars on brakes/power/suspension/fatter tyres etc.... The reason why my car has put out the times it has is definetly not due to driver skill and experience. It's so easy to drive fast around the track due to the money that's been thrown at it. I'd say throw someone like Newton in it and there's another second or two at any track. I guess what I'm trying to say is if the weight pulled out of the car has such a minimal advantage then why take it out in the first place? I know if I were building a dedicated track day I would throw everything that's not needed in the bin, it's the cheapest modification available. Anyway, you RWD GTS-T guys shouldn't take offence to my comments, I know what is required to go very quick around a track and I take my hat off to all of you, I would be the first to admit that driving a RWD car is a different kettle of fish and requires more skill than punting around a GT-R... Peace..

I see your point, but I must say I don't totally agree with your first couple of sentences. Although having some of the 'race' components a race car is stripped to the max to get rid of unwanted weight. This means all the luxuries we drive around in be non existent. They are loud and would drive anyone crazy driving them without a helmet for a long period of time. Frank's and Aaron's cars could be driven to Sydney and back without wanting to leave it on the side of the road due to it being annoying. But everything else I totally agree with, these cars have mega dollars spent on them to get them to perform the way they do. I guess a fairer comparison would be Newton's car, definetly no expense spared there. Hoping this weekend it gets a good run with weather, it's going to be bullshit fast... So when is all this shit talk of your car going to stop and will we finally see it punch out a time????

Interesting conversation here, many valid points. Roy - there is no doubt Russ in the little GTS-T is punching out some insane times, very impressive and obviously comes down to weight, power and skill. This would have to be the fastest GTS-T at the moment (besides Adam's). However this means he is still 4 seconds slower than Frank's R33 GT-R in full street trim (bugger all weight saving), no cage that is street registered and gets driven to and from the track with the sub pumping. Not 1.6 secs as you specified. Not stirring the pot but let's compare apples with apples. And RowdyR32 is correct, the GTR's lardness does not help it get around Winton, it is suited more towards the EVO/WRX lighter cars that don't need mega power. So what would be the best solution? Unfortunately a mildly modified GT-R will always be quicker than a mildly modified GTS-T. The only GTS-T that has come close to some of the quickest STREET registered GTR's would have to be Adam's 32. And that is NOT mildly modified. Must say that it's good to see the GTS-t's going so quick, 2 years ago when I used to race the GTST's were nowhere near the top of the timing boards, except once when there was a little silver 32 GTST that surprised us with some very respectful times before it dissapeared and has never been seen since. And as for RowdyR32, till this day it baffles me the times he had achieved, big dollar mods? Hardly. Skill and commitment? Highly likely. Very impressive. I would have been happy to give Winton another few goes before I retired, as it I had only done 2 timed sprints there. I'd say there's quite a bit more in it. Anyway, enough of my rambling, just thought I'd put my 2c worth, and to the boys in the GTS-t's, KEEP CHIPPING AWAY AT THOSE TIMES!!

That would not be Trent's fault, hence why I asked who built the motor. Made a big mess, not good when a motor disintergrates during a pass... Bit of a shame as many were interested in seeing what it would clock up on the boards.

I'm assuming the te37's are not included, are there any brembos on the car? Can't tell from the pics. How would some one go with registering this car in a different state with the weld in cage? And who built the cage if you don't mind me asking. Apologies for the numerous questions, just thought it would help with the sale without unnecessary PM's. Cheers, Jack

Just waiting on the funds to clear into my account, the buyer has provided a receipt number of the transaction so I'd say they are 99% sold.... Will let you know if the sale falls through....

Hey mate, What do interested buyers get with the money your asking? In the pics there is no front bar, lip, bonnet, headlights etc. Also is the rear boot with spoiler included? What about interior? Not much left there besides dash pad. Maybe state exectly what is included in the price to eliminate any confusion. Also what wheels, brakes suspension will be included?? Cheers, Jack

WOW, who built the motor???

Wheels are now SOLD pending payment. Thanks to everyone for their interest. Jack

I went from standard Brembos (R33GT-R) to F50's and there was huge difference on the track as far as bite, and they did not give up after a lap like the standard Brembos did. Although I was running 355mm rotors and some Pagid RS14 pads on RE55's. They did not show a hint of giving up even after 4 hard laps, the tyres let go instead. Since then I went to Alcon 6pot 365mm with 4pot 330mm rears which were better again. Since then I have upgraded again, and YES I do have a fetish for brakes as does Roy, and there is no cure for it...

Bump, price drop to $4k..

For anyone wanting to inspect the wheels/tyres they are sitting at Import Monster in Bayswater. Cheers, Jack

Some very nice shots there Brockas. Car looks very neat and tastefully modified. A set of Xenons would finish it off nicely.... Been hitting the track lately??

Tangomatt's R34 Vspec2. Game over.

Resignator? I'll take it you mean resonator. An aftermarket exhaust is illegal not so much due to increasing flow/power but more importantly increases emissions and noise. That is more important to the governing bodies as it is harming the environment, moreso than the standard exhaust in which has undergone vigorous testing, suposedly anyway....

PM's replied. Wheels are now off the car and ready to ship....

This is correct, mufflers are custom made in house. There is an option of single outlet or dual outlet (stock looking) for the rear muffler. In my opinion one of the best exhausts for modified cars that prefer to sound as quiet as possible. I have a one off twin 3'' full exhaust with dual tips. Looks standardish from the rear, only thing giving it away is that it's stainless. I had contemplated painting it black, but just couldn't bring myself to doing it. It's slightly louder than the common 3.5'' single, but it does flow really well. Looking at it when on the hoist just amazes me every time....

Still for sale...
