mm woud love that spoiler on the 34..

where do i get one?!?

if you mean the rear wing I bought it from C-west. it's a super GT wing, with extra gurney flap. not cheap but it's the real deal and it works! to get the most out of it though you need to have a frame under it like mark has built to transfer that downforce to the chassis, otherwise it's just going to push in your boot lid!

oh, and a small update on the car. doing some tyre testing at eastern creek this last weekend mark managed to run a 1:37 which is damn fast. but of as always there is more to come....

Something of interest that others may be able to answer, can Time Attack cars such as the Hi Octane beast run anti-lag (i.e. Gr. A) during racing, assuming a capable ecu? That might be a really stupid question.

Also, by the looks of it the exhausts merge to a single pipe exiting out the side. Would there not be any advantage in having two separate pipes out of the back of each turbo, or would that be "clutching straws" in terms of any additional performance.

Sorry if I am way off.

the aust superbike series which is the litre class run mid 30's @ the creek with race slicks and have every mod possible worth over 200k and have a huge power/weight advantage which exceeds 1/1 (200+hp/160kg), this gtr is a demon to run these times

I can only really compare the time to some of the Porsche's i have worked on (996 GT2 and 996 Cup Car)

http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2009.EAST.S2.Y

The top 2 are the cars i mean, and those times are on slicks!

This GTR is very very fast. It certainly is packing a fair bit of power to make up for the grip deficit though!

what mods are the porsches carrying to do a 35?

my brother bought his gtr from paul whitemarsh who used to also race in the porsche cup, he owns the wharf at pyrmont. he stated that his stock gtr was quicker @ wakefield than his race prepped porsche, true story

Must have been a slow Porsche Cup Car, i'd say he means the old Porsche Cup which had a few classes. Not the Carrera Cup that was just canned. The "Cup Car" i speak of is the 996 which used to race in the one make series.

The GT2 has revalved shocks (no damper adjustment, only height as standard), different springs, stock sway bars, stock calipers and standard sized disc's. Obviously runs fairly aggressive pads. Stock aero. Now runs a full cage.

Engine is rebuilt (basically to stock specs) after it had a bit of a failure at Drive Bathurst but it's very average compared to this R34 GTR. Standard GT2 intercoolers and turbo's but with external water spray. Increased boost. Straight pipes. Slightly different intake. Makes approx 365rwkw so it's no power house. Weighs in at about 1300kg without driver. Runs Michelin Slicks.

It's done a 1:03 at WP on Yokohama semi's when Warren Luff drove it for Dutton 2 years ago. Now does flat 60's at WP on the Michelin Slicks driven by the owner. Does 1:12's at OP GP being driven by the owner.

That 1:35 at EC was also the owner driving.

brilliant car guys - i was the dorky dude pretty much drooling on this car on the weekend at ec. i was stoked i got to see this car in flesh. total monster.

you should have come and introduced yourself. :P all the guys are friendly and we all like meeting other enthusiasts who are interested in what mark and russ have built.

I can only really compare the time to some of the Porsche's i have worked on (996 GT2 and 996 Cup Car)

http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2009.EAST.S2.Y

This GTR is very very fast. It certainly is packing a fair bit of power to make up for the grip deficit though!

glad you liked it :P it's actually probably not got as much power as you might think! well, certainly a lot more than a cup car I guess.... and yeah it would be even faster on slicks. but there is still time left to get on semis. it's only done two real meets so far and 1 or 2 other small tests so there are still a few little bits and pieces to iron out. it is impressive though to consider how fast it is on small 265 wide road legal yokohma A050 semi slicks. they are doing a good job of keeping it on the black stuff!

but to be fair hibbards porcsche is pretty special and it's a GT2 and of course they really get the most out of their nice wide slicks. and most 996 cup cars run around in the low-mid 40s at eastern creek. :)

and yeak marko, that's not a cup car. cup cars are built by porsche motorsport (inc integrated cage etc) and as a control class very few changes made by their owners/tuners. we ran a 996 cup car for a few years in prod sports. they are super fast for what they are. certainly a 996 GT3 cup car is much, much faster than a stock GTR but they should be, they are purpose built race cars and run on slicks and when new a 996 GT3 Cup Car was about $250K. they are not stupidly powerful though. most 996 cup cars only put out around 280rwkw, but they have a very nice torque curve.

Mark did great on the weekend but frankly I think with another couple of years testing and development, and a bit more money that he can take a genuine 2 further sec of this time. Its very early days for this car and the boys haven't got into serious testing of different setups yet.

This will be a hell of a car once it has that time under it's belt.

Hi Russ :)

How have you been? Have you guys installed the passenger seat for your sponsors in the 34 yet? If not do you need a hand? I'm sure I could figure it out & I promise to be the Guinea p i g on the first run to make sure it's safely bolted in :D

Well, we took the beast to QR yesterday to test some wheel alignment/sway bar, and ride height changes and Mark very kindly allowed me a session in the car.

Needless to say it's ruined me for life, words can describe it but I'm summarise and just say THE THING IS FARKING AWESOME!

Thanks again to Mark and Russ (aka Giant) to allow me to skid the weapon :P;):P:blink:

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
