The car is quick, but there is another E36 in the workshop that should be far more impressive. Its fully stripped, caged, big brakes, M3 GTR bodykit, etc etc.....and it will have a turbo'd Sam Markov developed engine (still the 6 cyl) somewhere in the 700hp area. Should be interesting to say the least.

Another update on the SM Motorsport M3.....now has done 1.27.30 around Winton!!!!!! This was on new tyres and measured with a Performance Box.

Must have been those new swaybars I made for Sam :thumbsup:

Cheers

Wouldn't most of these GTRs have turn out for the past Superlaps?

I reckon in NSW from what I have seen is Bright R32 GTR, Burgess R32 GTR, Duncan's R35 and Stuart Inwoods R33 GTR has the goods

I also find that these GTR's only do super sprints,Time attacks,drive days..

Is grid racing really that scary? Why dont any of the awesome GTR's do grid racing (besides Inwood's R33) How insane would Marks R34 Carbon R34 be in a grid race...

Maybe it's just me but I want to step up to that next level of adrenalin motorsport fun...

well don't forget the BSM GTR....they have won NSW production car and improved production titles, and the national improved production title in thier gtr, and it is now being setup for sports sedans (has already raced with a top 5 finish).

But yeah if you want to look at GTRs that have raced (door to door) in NSW I only know of:

BSM 32 GTR (originally prod car, then ipra, now sports sedan, about 4 seasons)

Brad's 32 GTR (sports sedan, mra, 2 seasons)

Stu Inwood's 33 (Irace, 1 or 2 races)

Mark's 32 (production car, 1 season)

my 32 (production car, 3 seasons)

roadrace's 32 (production car, previously peter conroys car, 1 or 2 races)

SSS/Geoff Fear's 32 GTR (irpa car, now owned by fernando but not raced since, 1 season)

that's it. the only 7 skylines in NSW that have done door to door racing. as for why not more....dunno!??! I love it! And plenty of people spend way more than me on cars that have never raced. wierd.

Oh whoops I forgot about "those" GTR's and yours Duncan..I thought they were talking about the stupid Quick GTRs around Oz....Lofty should be in a league of his own LOL

It's great to see a GTR's launch off the line in a racing field...I still have memorys of yours Duncan in a IPRA meeting..Best thing I have ever seen is a GTR launch when the lights go out and carve up the field into turn 1...Think that was a day/night meeting also :D:P

haha yeah that was great fun, the day night race meeting last year. I started 6th and was 2nd into turn 1 having overtaken 4 sports sedans :P we even warned the sports sedan in front that I would come past up the outside and they laughed. lol. day night meets are great, I'm really going to miss oran park.

Sam Markov runs in IPRA

sorry, but unless he is running 2x32mm intake restrictors and is therefore limited to about 250awkw, he has ignored the most important IPRA regulation - the one that makes it almost impossible to be competitive.

his car would make a great sports sedan though, it's a shame has hasn't given it a real crack because I would love to see how competitive it could be.

Bradnster's GTR is the king of competative GTR's

There is no arguing that. What they have acheived with that car, or those 2 cars is incrediable.

The berry/newman 32 was very sucessfull at what it did but I have nothing but respect for the brandster guys and what they did with cars less than ideal for the category.

Duncan and I have always spoken about and I still beleive almost anyone would struggle to get he same results they have/do.

Twin Turbos are stuck with 2x 27mm restrictors.

Can win with restrictors.

Yes 27mm they are :D

I ran with Lofty in the BSM GTR's and the record's speak for themselves regarding IPRA.

I don't think his Eastern Creek lap record will ever be broken and his record will stand at Oran when it shuts ;)

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
