Hi guys,

Did a bit of searching around and noticed that, Most of the time attack lists and other times posted are all SAU related. Whos the Fastest track going GTR ( or Skyline) that is of course RB powered, In australia. And how do our fellow SAU drivers compare. Now obviously most of our SAU guys are privateers And i bet they are up there with the best of them, Sponsored guys and other Private guys who are Not SAU affiliated.

Maybe we can formulate some sort of list.

Unless someone knows of a list thats already out there I just cannot find :worship:

In Vic - the 4 fastest GT-R's I know of are: (all times on R Comp tyres)

1. Sam Marcov (R32 GTR) - times include 1.15 at Sandown and 1.29 at Winton

2. Ben Derks (Racepace R33 GTR) - 1.16 at Sandown and 59s at Calder

3. Frank Picconi (R33 GTR) - 1.31 at Winton and 1.43 at Phillip Island

4. John Kennedy (R33 GTR) - 1.16 at Sandown and 1.43 at Phillip Island

Not sure how the Berry/Newman (giant) GTR would stack up against these lot these days but I'd expect that they'd be right up there. Although I still don't see them touching the Marcov GTR yet.

Yeah I've seen a write up on that car, but seriously 52.8 (Sprint) and 1:14 (National) is just stupidly quick, that's over 2 seconds quicker than giant's car! I'd pay to see that :whistling:

Sam Markov (SM Motorsport) 1.42's around the Island..............not too shabby for a bloke from the country.

Who cares if the car is quick. The thing is so well presented and built, thats enough for me. The fact that its damn quick to boot is a bonus. It is the best put together car i have seen around the traps. The level of finish is better then most State series cars :P

I dont know much about the car, as i think its changed a bit since i had a good look at it.

Its a beautifully stripped R32, white wtih fully colour coded interior, single seat only. It used to run an Rb26 with a small single, around the 3076 mark. I have since heard it now has an RB30 with bigger single, but based on the results of lots of GTRs of late could have reverted to twins as last time i heard it out at PI it didnt sound like it was running a single.

Was running 17" wheels, neat cage and rationalised loom and wiring. The thng is beautifully prepared and i have an idea of some of the other mods it runs but cant be sure so wont speculate.

He used to own a red R32 with similar mods and state of tune, which was made from a spare Gibson shell. I understand he sold that car to a buyer in QLD and the white car is his EVO 2, incorporating the things he got right on the first car and fixing the things he got wrong

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
