Mark And Russ's Super R34 Build Up

[mattlikewhoa]

I just finished the entire thread! This is a top quality build! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

[Duncan]

did you buy it for Duncan the Autosalon whore ?

hey I need to stay across what my competitors are up to.

who wouldn't want a gorgeous girl draped across the bonnet of a pristine car

[iLL32]

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.

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.

I saw that. Impressive on semi's!

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)

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!

[Marko R1]

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.

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

glad you liked it 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.

[Duncan]

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

[Endless 32 v-spec]

btw if ya need something sandblasted, let me know

Hay dude mad build aye just wonderin i recently did a drink drive number on my 32 yeah i know man belive me i was well broken down anyway its not bad no twistin or anything just a fifty sign at about 70 the sign came straght out theres a little inside skin damage but not much anyway i'm down with getting my car stripped and blasted or whats the acid dipping worth and would i need to take all loom out or is acid dipping just an expression, any help appreciated

[Endless 32 v-spec]

ok this thread is for info on the new build up of the r34 time attack car ,

i will post some previous info and then update with new stuff as we build it.

Hay dude just wonderin also what the go on your 30 block is i'm thinkin the same path for mine but want a good mix between throttle and bottom end anyway if you've done it can ya let me know how much of a hassle it was connecting the diff to it i'm thinking v cam when i have the money so 30 would be the way to go if it not to costly

[Marlin]

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
