Guess Who Was Sitting At The Wheel Of The Hks Gtr Today


Recommended Posts

Join the club Paul (Technically I havent *sat* in it but I did lean on/drool over it)

:P

Im sure there have been many to drool over it....but to be able to sit in it, remove rear deck lid, open bonnet...heck we even got to push it around...lol.........but no starting it up....damn!!

ive even worked out what HKS stands for

Hello

Kitty

Seatpad

HKS

H and K are the first letter of the last name of each the two owners

the S stands for Sigma i think.

So whats the deal did it run? did Reece Run any times?

you are correct on the HKS name...i was just having a joke...the Bride racing seat in the HKS car has a "hello kitty seatpad"

it did not run but here's some news about Reeces runs...

Heat Treatments GTR

The HT team didn't really expect to break any records at taupo. Despite this, the car still ran a solid 7.77, and then a 7.78. The 7.7 pass should have been quicker, as the car crept on the line and red lit before Reece actually launched (the timer starts from when the beam is broken). The next pass was looking great, with a PB mph to half track (152mph!!), but unfotunately the front diff broke in the 2nd half of the track. Becuase the front diff is integral with the sump, it also cracked this part, putting the car out of action for the afternoon.

Yeah i knew you were joking as for the Hello kitty seat pad WTF were they thinking not my taste at all, thats one part i never liked about the HKS car :wave:

Had Reece changed anything on on the car?

lucky as. pics pics

Have realised our cable to connect camera to computer is at home....have to wait till we get back to Aust on Sunday.

Is there any particular parts of the car you would like to see....such as where they set the dials on the torque split controller ?

Na not really :D just every pic you took of it :D

Now hurry up and get on the damn plane :D

all the ATTESSA pumps are relocated to the passenger seat area. There is normally a carbon fibre cover over these for asthetics which they allowed me to remove to photograph

note where they have the torque split set..the dots they have put on the unit indicate this is their true race position

1252597imgxs5.th.jpg

i see they use a "DiRTgarage" style 4WD 2WD switch for burnouts

note the angled flange to change the direction the air enters the port

solonoids for air shift mechanisim

fuel system comprises of a small fuel cell and 3 bosch 044 pumps

dash is a simple as a shift light, a gear indicator, a brake pressure guage, a warning light (low oil pressure) and an oil pressure guage.

the result of no air filters...compressor wheel has certainly seen better days

1252589imgaq9.th.jpg

the std boost guage sensor was an unlikely thing to spot

1252586imgml0.th.jpg

three stage dry sump pump..two scavenge pickups and one feed...keen eyes will spot the ATI balancer

1252600imgze2.th.jpg

this would be the heaviest hydraulic clutch ive ever operated.

    • This was amazing and something I feel like a lot of younger enthusiasts, like myself, need to hear. I've been observing a local dyno shop spitting out 650-800HP RBs but when looking at their graphs, the car is basically dead until 5-6k RPM when it skyrockets.     I’ve decided to change my goal and go for that 450whp mark and aim for quick spool, responsiveness, and practicality (I can't afford my engine being a consumable, haha). Now, looking for the best suitable turbo for this application, I'm considering: • Garett GTX3076R Gen 2 ( .62 or .82) • Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2  ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? • HyperGear ATR43SS2 ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3076  ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3576 ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? Any recommendations? I know the HyperGear and Pulsar aren’t name brands but they’re sure budget friendly    
    • Can you bypass the damper as well, it can also fail
    • Oops, guess I accidentally deleted the last digit of the video ID. This one drives me nuts. VCT is such a big advantage for basic driveability and it costs very little to do. It's not like we're dealing with an E60 M5 with its dedicated high pressure VVT oil pump + hydraulic line carrying 1000+ psi and all that fun stuff. I also see a lot of people speak poorly about EGR and try to delete it in modern GDI engines. The problem is modern GDI relies on cooled high pressure EGR to improve timing margin at high load + RPM. So unless you're compensating for it by raising octane you have to completely retune when it's deleted.
    • Yeah, I was just trying to show on camera that the manifold is pulling enough vacuum through that hose to pull the diaphram in the stock fpr but couldn't really hear it on film.  Yeah, it's strange. Fuel should be by-passing through the reg to exit back into the tank thus reducing the fuel pressure: Sorry for my awful drawing here (I like to make diagrams to understand it better 🤪) The (temporary) fuel gauge is plumbed between the fuel filter and dampner. I've already eliminated the possible cause of restriction that the return line might have had and it's not that because I placed a long hose from the FPR (exit from the fuel rail), by-passing the 2nd dampner and return line, then straight into the filler fuel cap (as seen on my first vid). And it was still at 50 psi. Which means that I have a fuel restriction between the 1st dampner and the FPR.  Possible causes: Blockage/restiction in the 1st dampner: I know it's not this because I've swapped it out to a known working one from a spare complete neo engine sitting in the shed. Blockage/restiction in the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR): Also, can't be this because I swapped it out to a known working one from the other engine.  Blockage/restriction in the fuel rail and fuel rail's lines: this could probably be the case. Maybe red rubber grease got in there when I changed the injectors (with new seals) a year ago? Who knows. The only way to know is if I take the bastard off and inspect it (or swap it to the other spare one), which I think I will just have to do.  Injectors causing a restriction in fuel causing high pressure? Could this be? I wouldn't think so? Because even if injectors were completely blocked, fuel would just by-pass them through to the FPR and exit? Let me know if I'm wrong though. Because if that's the case, it could explain some weird electrical shit where the injectors aren't opening enough or something.  Air bubbles in fuel rail? Can this be a thing? Could air get trapped inside the fuel rail and cause high pressure? Shouldn't though right? Faulty pressure gauge? I just grabbed this old pressure gauge that was sitting in our toolbox at work. I'm going to buy another gauge and see if I get the same result just incase. But it reads the priming correctly at 40ish psi. idk... The spare rb25det neo engine that we have in the shed came out of my brother's R34 that was working perfectly fine before we pulled it out to slap a rb30/25det neo in there. It also has the same xsprut 640cc injectors on the fuel rail still. So I might have to swap them out and see what it does. 😮‍💨
    • Yep, like how people insist VCT does nothing, delete them OR say how twin scroll is a waste of time.
