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

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
