Hi all

Haven't had a chance to update since Jamboree been busy working and what not.

So we had a rollercoaster weekend at J23 this year, all things did not quite go to plan, but at the end of the day we still went quicker grabbing another PB/ World Record, still not finding the limit to this car it is amazing. We have managed to scalp some big name companies in this quest to become the worlds quickest and we are gonna try continue this domination by becoming the first 7 sec Radial GTR in the world and lay the Smack down to AMS R35 GTR plus anyone else who would like to join in on the action. Would be great to have all these cars in one country to compete with each other but this is not the case we are spread all across the world.

Over the weekend we were finding it hard to get consistent runs due to the track conditions being unpredictable, plus the car was still being tuned every run by Mr Godzilla Mark Jacobsen, so the data was all over the show. We would have loved to get some more 8 sec passes but we could only manage 2 decant runs for the weekend. First of the bat Saturday morning we reeled of a 8.54 @ 159mph straight off the trailer and things were looking promising. 2nd run the power steering belt decided to go walk about and took out the hall sensor on crank trigger, had to tow car back to pits, new sensor and power steering was scraped and decided to run with out it for the rest of weekend. 3rd run we bogged the start as the track was too sticky and didn't have enough HP dialled in off the line to spin all 4's.

Sunday morning straight up in round 1 of final we nailed it, peeled of a 8.39 @164mph, was not 100% clean run but still very happy with the result. 2nd round we got knocked out as we smoked the tires off the line, too many HP's and that was J23 over for us.

Was a great result for us the Car survived with no breakages, got another record under the belt, now as far as I'm aware and correct me if I'm wrong but we are now the Worlds Fastest Radial Tyre RB GTR Skyline and the Worlds Fastest H Pattern GTR, the only car in front of us now is AMS R35 GTR which has done a 8.28sec on radials. Its a bit hard to compare the new VR38 Powered R35's against the old school RB Powered R32, 33 , 34's, but we are gonna try beat that time and do it with a manual gearbox, no gay arse dual clutch auto for us :woot: . A Big thanks to the Race Bred Enterprises team and Godzilla Motorsport's Mark Jacobsen with out your efforts this would not have been achievable.

I am still going through the footage still gotta make a compilation Vids but here's some pics and a quick speedo vid.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
