That's either the best RWD 'street tyre' 60ft I've ever heard of, or it was on slicks? In which case it won't count in the HPI drag list :O

Don't worry about the RT Matt. Doesn't effect the ET/TS.

Matt will confirm I'm sure but I was chatting with Mick (Tilbrook's/ ex Subzero) who drove the car to its 11.3 @ 122+ & it was running slicks for that pass.

Regardless of the above that mph is awesome. I'm sure Matt will pull respectable times on road rubber (NT555R's Matt - don't bother with anything less!) Roll on the 31st :O

Yeah it was with slicks, Ill be saving for some Nittos. does anyone know what type of life you get out of them. It also looks like ill be needing to run 540s all the time. It got a 13 with bridgestone S02's still spinning at half track

Matt,

Re NT555R's you're looking at ~$400 to 450 for 275/40/17, or a tad less for 245/50/16. I've been given a contact for Nittos if you're interested.

Have a read here mate - http://www.nittotire.com/mainframe.asp

Cheers Matt, I still feel really bad I know how much you were trying to get into the top 10 of the hpi & I may get there b4 you if I can get the traction sorted. It will be great if we both can do it on the 31st with everyone there:)

No prob's dude.

Hell mate don't feel bad! I'm stoked we've (SA Skyline crew) got another seriously quick car in the ranks. Your new beast!

Getting traction sorted is the hard part that's for sure. With the grunt your hybrid has you should nail a 12 even with a poor launch (providing it doesn't spin @ 1/2 track). Mind you Matty Lowth ran 13.1 @ 119 on his first pass (with ~320rwkw).

With a bit of luck (& some practice) I'm hoping we'll both nail some 12sec passes on the 31st. Maybe even a high 11 for you? As long as our faces look like this - :) - at the end of the day I'll be satisfied.

I guess I look at it like this, the longer it takes & the harder it is to achieve something, the sweeter it is when you do.

Well siad Matt, remember you have done the hard work yourself were I have bought the car like it is.

:D Yeah she was near stock as a rock when I got her ~3yrs ago. Sometimes the journey is 1/2 the fun. Sometimes!

Nothing wrong with buying a car that someone else has already done a large % of the work for you. Mid/high 20's wouldn't buy an average 32 & bits need to achieve 11.3 @ 122+mph that's for sure. Nice buy Matt! Looking foward to see her in action mate :(

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
