Project Gtst Gets There At Last

[R33draggtst]

Hi fellas,

Hope everyone is well - not long now till the start of your season whilst ours draws to a close here in the UK.

Well after 11 8.1's this year finally after some further mods we have cracked the 7's & have Europes first ever 7 sec skyline

Ran at the weekend & completed 3 runs in total & all 7's

1st 7.93 @ 171

2nd 7.78 @ 172

3rd 7.75 @ 175

After all the hard work & learning this year i'm over the moon

First 2 runs were at 2 bar boost & the third at 2.2, 3rd would have been quicker if i had changed gear better.

We run again next week in our last official competition of the year, we have more boost to go yet & could connect nos up (but not so sure we will until next year) so may get those times down a bit further still.

Here's some piccies from the weekend

Getting there bit by bit & just hope we keep the consistency & reliability going which we have had all year next year.

cheers

John

Thats so cool. Bring it to OZ.

[BezerkR32]

well done guys, numbers falling consistently now and the more data collected means its ony going to go quicker. once you get the chassis sorted and keep those front wheels on the track it will only go faster again.

Bring on the 7.0s

[R33draggtst]

thanks guys & as soon as we saw 7's on the board it makes it feel worth all the time, effort & grief

Quick vid here (2nd run in qualifying, before anyone gives me grief about reaction times it was only qualifying :laughing-smiley-014: )

Have some better quality ones being put together over the next couple of weeks.

This weekends competition is not looking good weatherwise at the moment which is a real pain as may well be the last opportunity we get to run on a decent track surface before winter is here but there's always next year.

I personally 100% want to bring this car to Oz for the Perth & Sydney Summer Nationals & can guarantee we will in 2010. I'm glad now we didn't bring it over this year as it was just to soon & we had far to much work to do & things to learn & same story next year where the car will be developed a lot lot further.

When we do bring it over in 2010 i want it to be running serious consistent times so it's worth the trip & also something for you to see. Would be amazing if when we bring it over then we could run with the serious Aus/NZ cars at the same meets.

Thanks

Awesome result mate. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Funny thing about this thread, I actually just finished watching the animated movie "cars" before I logged in, The front of your skyline looks straight from the movie.

excellent work great to see it all come together

i see a world record battle brewing fastest skyline period.

also i like the pro street launches keep those numbers dropping

cheers Jason

well bugger

surprise surprise crap weather hits another event

can't believe we havnt got webbed feet & webbed hands in the Uk with the amount of bloody rain we see

No racing at all weekend just gone as inches & i mean inches of rain over the weekend flooded the pod so i reckon that's us for this year.

1 more trip out for the car in November at santa pods end of season closing down fireworks day/night but very doubtful we will run quick times in November as will be pretty cold here unless we strike it lucky.

As soon as that's over back to the drawing board to think up some ideas to get more out of the old girl for next year.

Hope you fellas have a great & safe season & be great to see The Godzilla Motorsports 32 get quicker & also see Reece move the 32 forward again as competition really drives everything forward.

Good luck Adrian - be great to see you hit some good times mate.
