I love living 5 minutes from willowbank. ShaneF and i meandered out to the testntune night and were fortunate to watch Mark in the Godzilla 32 run a blistering 8.69 at 158 mph on mickey T street radials.

If i am not mistaken that makes it the quickest class run in the country. The car launched hard and stuck at every shift point.

Congrats to all involved. :cheers::down: :sorcerer:

thanks guys... first outing with the new liberty gearbox....

3rd run of the night 8.695 at 158.95mph with a 1.351 60ft on mt 255-16 radials.

makes it fastest gtr in aus on street tyres and 2nd fastest in the world behind the vielside r32 gtr

which ran 8.62 i think....

thanks to all the guys who helped with the build... :cheers::down:

Bugger, almost makes me wish I didn't take the boat out on the river for the fireworks.

Noel, keep me posted for the next outing mate.

Next Sunday geoff, testntune for the nats. along with marks ride there should be a top quality field getting ready for the big go.

not sure what tyres the nz car ran 8.55 on... if they were et streets they are not a radail tyre. if they are radials we have a target for the australian nationals . 8.54 or better...ha ha

I can't remember what tires the Croydens R32 was running when it was there, but it was done using an H-pattern box too - and they were definitely some kind of DOT approved tyre. I have it in my head a UAE R32 GT-R built by Sub Zero did something like an 8.2 or 8.3 on DOT tires as well?

Either way, an 8s run in ANY form with a 4WD is absolutely nuts, well done - thats awesome news. The 8s GTR club is a very exclusive one :D

Can anyone confirm if these times are still current? Does the Croydon time still stand?

WD drag records (on street tyres):

I think both Croydon's and Reese (as well as Suckling's car) were all running Holiger sequentials.

Actually I think you are sortof right, the Croyden's GTR WAS a Hollinger sequential - I got my wires crossed, Glenn Sucklings OWN R32 GTR was a manually shifted Hollinger box - running full drag slicks though. The fastest manually shifted GTR I believe, think thats how I got confused.

Nah, nobody buys a H pattern Holiger.

"It also has a Holinger sequential 6 speed gearbox with custom GDS Motorsport ratios which is also modified in conjunction with Holinger. In it’s current guise it is 5 speed"

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
