Does This Sound Right?

Hi everyone,

I was talking to a guy that drives a tuff 32GTR at the local Hill climb. From what I was told the car has N1 turbos, Autronic, most likley a lot of money spent on the motor, it has a two stage rev limiter setup, its making 350KW, I assume its at all four and it runs a 10.3 or 10.4 at the drags, the car is pretty much full weight.

I was talking to my mates about it and they all seem to think its quite possible, I wouldnt have thought N1 turbos could produce 350rwkw, and I would think you would need a lot more than 350rwkw to run a mid-low 10?

Has anyone got any oppinions on this as it could solve our argument!

Cheers Eddie.

Well I don't have a GTR but with a slightly happy dyno and rear wheel not all wheel I think that power figure is possible but I don't know about a 10.3, maybe with gas no worries.

giant (qld) has run a 10.4x if i recall with his R32 GTR/N1 turbos

Around 380rwkw... thats on fuel though and a dog box

So it might be possible. Who's to say he wasnt running a race fuel tune for the drags etc?

There are many variables that you havent provided for an accurate yes or no

[RBCalais]

Yeah R31 Nismoid, I didnt include all those factors because I didn't know them. Maybe the car your thinking of is the same one I am talking about because it was trailered to the event and I think its from around Brisbane area. It could well have been on race fuel, no doubt it had at least semi/slicks, I just had the feeling that N1s could only flow about 300rwkw and I would have thought that would be a long way off a 10sec pass.

[R31Nismoid]

Was it black with R34GTR wheels?

[Thunderbolt]

^^^ That would be the one, because I have seen the car at the hillclimbs too. He tells everyone that they are N1 turboes, but who knows if they really are or not.

[R31Nismoid]

They are. Trust me.

Russel is on there. Username: giant

You'll see him in the motorsport section mainly

I've met the bloke personally aswell at a recent AutoSalon Circuit battle in NSW that Russel and co-driver Mark took outright honours.

I would no doubt that car for a second. Its a well built car, so well setup and its got all the times to prove it.

Definately running N1's.

380rwkw on fuel is not out of reach by any means.

Peak HP is not the fast way down a 1/4 as many GTRs running low 10s have smaller turbos and less peak power than many running high 10s low 11s.Big fat power curves make fast cars.Ask Dirtgarage his car is proof of that.

[RBCalais]

Yep thats the car. He is a nice bloke, I only doubted it because you see people putting big turbos on GTRs and they dont seem to run such an impressive time. I am pretty sure he said it only makes about 350 but that might have been on the setup for the hill climbs or something.
