Lets Give Respect - Rh9 Gtr


Recommended Posts

Watched the RH9/CRD crew move this car from the 1st pavillion to 2nd pavillion at the Autosalon on the weekend, just the sound of the idle was enough to make the trip worthwhile.

old story car is no longer owned by rob its now john's and i think someone owned it in between..............runs 3540's now not 2540's...its not really the same car now...maybe only the body...as driveline engine transmission is now completely different. its even registered in ACT with the same RH9 plates .

I'm sure I read or heard a while back that the 'RH' stood for 'Record Holders' of GT-R's that do the 1/4mile in the 9sec bracket on street tyres but it was a Japan only thing.

I might have heard it from an early HPI video I think

I had the pleasure of meeting John at one of our ACT SAU meets and seeing the car in the flesh. John is a really nice guy and stayed and chatted to us for ages. It's a shame that the pics I took were blurry cos I had the camera set up wrong.

To say the yogurt truck was crashed is indeed an understatement.

RH9 = Record Holders 9

This is what the sticker on the car says.

RH9 means, Record Holders of 9 sec GTR's with street tyres and trim.RH9 is only for japanese workshop GTR's not the common public GTR's that anyone ownes and goes nines, eg:there is thousands of GTR's around the world going 9's in street trim but arnt included because the car isnt owned by a workshop.

So even if it ran a 9 its not really a RH9 Car.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
