Hi Ocane R34 Gtr

[Kel]

Brilliant steering as always from Mark- now imagine how that thing would go with some 4WD

Silly question from the peanut gallery... what's the guage attached to the cage, top left of screen? Something highly technical like a "how much balls has Berry got right now" meter????

[Roy]

I assumed the car has air jacks and it is the pressure of the pneumatic system????

[evil_weevil]

awesome vid!!

I jizzed in my pants! lol

[sav man]

I think it's the ATTESSA pressure gauge.

[Marlin]

Yeah, we jury rigged an Attessa pressure gauge to it so we could watch the vid and see it. There's your proof it had little if any 4WD.

[Angus Smart]

Sheeet doesnt have much 4wd kickin in eh.. most was on the first corner

Nice vid!

[Marlin]

Yeah, that little sideways on the warmup lap was the lock stops (it doesn't have much lock at all), nice catch Mark

IMO, that really is some excellent driving for a guy who's been to Bathurst twice in two years, in two different cars.

ahh thanks Benny. thought that might have been it, given what was happening on the track in the few spots i noticed the needle moving- i might get through my gtr backyard mechanic-ing apprenticeship yet!

when's the cars next outing?

[phunky_monkey]

So, so awesome! Well done guys, and great driving Mark.

[Sinful]

Awesome Vid

Please post some Pics ??

well for limited 4WD it looked really well sorted, the couple of moments were in low speed corners... the aero package must be doing its job!

Fark that takes some balls though, very well driven to be so smooth with all that power... look forward to seeing this car develop and decimate all!

[NZM.031]

im with roy... you guys need to rip out the 4wd and start being awesome!! haha.

nah seriously, you guyz... yous are my heroes. when my gtst grows up... it wants to be the hi octane r34.

well done!

[YLD-CHLD]

one word

AWESOME

[Beer Baron]

yeah the aero definitely works. it's certainly been put to the test at 320km/h! mark was very happy with the amount of aero grip the body and wing were generating and drag can't be too bad either as it's getting a fair old whack of pace both up mountain straight and back down conrod...

[Snowman]

That's epic. I'm going to have to add this event to the "to do" list I reckon!

That 4WD seems to be working only from wheel-slip. So it's like the longitudinal sensor just isn't working or giving feedback to the ATTESSA at all.

[Marlin]

I too brought up a 2WD conversion, simply because it does get such good traction, even better if it wasn't carrying 100kg of useless (at the moment) 4WD running gear, but, we're all of the opinion converting it to 2WD would take too much away from it still being a GTR.

Should try FOSC at Easter..it's cheaper...but think it would clash with Targa Tas

I was telling Brighty about it..He had a good weekend up there with Hi Octane Team but had issues so could of done a better time..

For the price paid..How many runs/sessions did entrants get Benny??

some could say the same about the RB30 though.

Plenty, I think Mark did in the region of 55 laps, and we missed all day saturday and packed up before the final two sessions sunday. Basically, you could easily wear your car out if you wanted to I reckon.

I think it's a stretch to say having the three litre engine takes much away from it being a GTR, certainly much less than removing the 4WD system anyway. Having a 3 litre is no bigger modification from factory than having high mount turbos in my opinion, and Giant's car is still on low mounts and factory exhaust manifolds.

Yeah Jan - May is reserved for Rallies (and June - Sept is reserved for not wanting to know about cars for a few months!)
