AMS Smash The 9 Second Barrier at TX2K10

March 21st, 2010 Goto comments Leave a comment

After beating out all the other competitors in the dyno competition, AMS have driven this SR850 tuned R35 GT-R to a worlds first 9 second ET at Lonestar Motorsports Park on their first run of the day!

They went on to run a string of 9 second passes with the best ET being 9.89 @ 145 even after hitting the rev limiter in second. The best mph of the day was 146.96 mph which you can see in the timeslip in the gallery below.

To get there, the car runs an AMS SR850 upgrade package which includes:

AMS upgraded bolt on turbo’s

Upgraded actuators

AMS 90mm downpipes

AMS 90mm Resonated midpipe

AMS 90mm exhaust

AMS Front mount intercooler

AMS 3″ intercooler piping

HKS bov’s

AMS Large MAF intake pipes

AMS fuel System upgrade

Cobb AccessPORT

AMS Custom Race gas map (unleaded 109 octane Race gas)

With these mods the car is putting 765awhp and 738 lbft of torque to the ground. Impressive stuff and big big numbers from bolt on upgraded turbos. What will we see when AMS’s custom cast manifolds and even bigger turbos get bolted up to Chuck’s car?

Transmission was rebuilt by Shep trans with a few key points upgraded. Clutches are 100% stock though.

Trans fluid is Aussie made Willall Victory Spec WR35TMVS stuff.

Very niceeee results, just shows there's HEAPS of potential for these cars

Got my K&N Air Filter's today......it has BEGUN!!!!! hehehe

We worked with AMS in the US on this one and supplied them -

WR35TMVS our new high load 'Super GTR' transmission fluid

WR35PS GR6 Piston Seals

WR35CC GR6 Gear Fastener System

WR35CC-L GR6 Clutch Retaining Clips

This is not an advertisement, just pointing out there was some Aussie know how in that 9 second pass

Please don't shoot me but isn't 9.89 sec actually 10sec in anybody's language other than a drag racer's?

I am fascinated how everybody calls an 11.99 sec pass an 11 sec achievement! No, it is not. That minor detail of 0.99 sec is 55m difference or 12 car lengths at 400m mark.

It does sound a lot better in the pub, I do admit.

WHYYYYY???

[sh@un]

meh, who cares- it's still a 9. and in a very heavy car too

wonder who'll be the first to crack 150+mph

It's an ET bracket. Ie 9.00-9.99, 10.00-10.99, 11.00-11.99.

when someone refers to "running 9's" they are refferring to breaking the 10.00 bracket....Circuit racers even do it

I would call it "running sub-10's" but it is a matter of convention, I guess. Thanks.

Needs one of these now

[NXTIME]

I think RH8 is the new RH9

[Roy]

Well there goes the art of driving a fast car down the strip. The car is so good it makes running a 9 all look too easy Impressive though

Skip to the 2:20 mark on the vid to avoid all the rest of the crap that leads up to it...

It's got some grunt though, looks like a bit of fun!

Hah!

Yes, I was watching the vid and it was violently fast!

[Mevo]

Also no weight reduction, full street trim.

I was given one of these official RH9GTR stickers by Danny (of JMS fame) back in

2002 when I raced at the first Drag Combat meeting at Willowbank when the HKS

drag GTR was there running 7s. It was a huge honour to even have one of these

japanese stickers back then & there was no way I was going to stick it on my GTR

till I had the time to back it up. I ran a 10.9 second pass that day & waited till a few

months later back in Adelaide before I proudly displayed it on my windscreen after

running my first of many nines. (best I got back in those days - now over 7 years

ago - was a 9.45 @ 145mph)

All these years later, the fact that an R35 GTR can run nearly as fast with "light tuning"

is just astromonical. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to run those times back

then & there was no way our GTRs were street legal. Street drivable - sure, no problems.

My car was still "on the street" with Holinger, perspex windows, full cage, & 1 seat!!!

Awesome to hear that an R35 has cracked the sacred nines......... but dont be fooled.

There will be blood, sweat, & tears to keep it there. All those who see the number "9"

& take it with a pinch of salt - think again. The difference between 10.1 & 9.8 is huge.

There will be broken engines, clutches, etc etc. Mark my words....................

been there..done that.. Good luck trying to keep up with them.

A whole new generation of cheque book racers has emerged.

I will stick with my detuned 9 second R33 now turned into mid teens circuit racer

& leave my R35 as it is for fun & value factor.

Congratulations to AMS for doing it, keep up the good work.

Be interesting to see if someone will follow in their footsteps here in Australia.

Maybe the Willall R35 if we ever get a bloody Drag track again in SA?
