we are planning to run the car jan 2010 if all the work we are doing is finished in time...prob the new year series at willowbank for some testing..

it will be totally different from the full street type gtr .. lots of carbon work and some more engine development during the off season and hot weather.

cheers, mark

Fantastic, look forward to hearing how it goes - any pics or anything of progress? I may have to pull finger on the long procrastinated about trip to Oz sometime, especially if HT go over. Side by side 7s GTRs would be unreal!

will see what pics we have..

new mods: carbon doors, carbon bonnett, carbon front spoiler, carbon brakes.carbon dash 200lbs weight saving...

new aero r32gtr look front spoiler...worth a few mph we hope...

rear suspension mods for better irs grip....

should have more power next year..

will be a new setup for us but for the better...

Awesome! How is the hunt for the record going?

Here's a teaser I shot on my cellphone on Monday of the current holder doing a burnout before his first run with the latest changes to the HT GTR, they did 3 runs on "low boost" at Taupo, NZ. Hopefully one way or another the record gets a nudge soon!

Good luck :)

we are trying to get the gtr ready to race on the 16th jan at willowbank..

the big diet has gone well and we have decided to run with the old turbo setup for a while longer...

will be great to race the gtr again and excited to see what gains we have made if any...et wise

also made some suspension changes but still running gtr irs rear end..

cheers, mark

car is running again ... not sure if we are going to make it to the track for saturdays event..

we will dyno the car tonight hopefully with the new turbo setup ... and if the new front spoiler is finished we could possibly still make it..

well we got to race the car after another 3 am finish on friday night..

missed the first qualifier due to being late.

car got auditied and had a small tear in my race suit so couldnt race the second qualifier..

rang theo and borrowed his suit thanks again..

3rd and finial qualifier ran a 8.0 at 169mph missed all my shift points laid rubber till 1/2 track..

1.33 60ft time 138mph to 1/2 track way of the money.. low boost etc...

1st round of racing 1.26 60ft launched hard pulled 2nd gear too late again blew the rear tyres in smoke then got all croosed up

heading towards the wall and backed of for a 10 sec pass at 68mph...

all in all was pretty dissapointing for all the late nights..

but now we have a real race car with loads more potential than it was previous..

car now weights 2890lbs with me in it..and loads more hp if needed..

big thanks to rob,big paul20b,harry and crew for all there help last week...

cheers, mark

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
