both gtr s are testing next tuesday or wed...before jambo...

last night test n tune was rained out...

cheers, mark

Any more news if they will be testing today or tomorrow?

I'll be going tomorrow night 200% if they will be there

Yep testing from 11am, Heat Treatments will definitely be there. I reckon there could be a chance today would be a good day to be there if you want to see a world record get cracked...

I will again give any updates I can on Heat Treatments and Godzillas progress as or if I get them. Sounds like Mark was testing yesterday but was overpowering the track, means they aren't lucking in grunt but means there weren't necessarily any exciting times to report.

Fingers crossed today they are there and can tame the beast :rolleyes:

we are not testing today . i have 4 more cars to get ready for jambo...

our day was mixed.. yes getting the power to ground was hard even at lower boost levels in 2 nd and 3rd gear unless we slipped the arse out of the clutch...

we had on pass that went to 1200ft but the timer was set for junior dragster to read only to 1/2 track..

it went 5.13 at 143mph slipping the clutch ...good for 7.7 or 7.8 like reece went..

we have gone 5.00 at 1/2 before with the smaller rear tyres so there is a fair bit to come..

best thing was our 60ft s were all low 1.24 s all day...

saturday we will be ready..

reece s gtr sounds awesome hope they go well today...

cheers, mark

Nice, though bummer you don't have time for more testing. Sounds like there will be 7s all round though so will be an awesome day!

Reece's first run today was a bog by the sounds of it, still trying to find the sweet spot for a sticky Oz track.

I actually don't know if HTR will be racing into the night, or what their intentions are.

Sounds like they are quite happy with traction levels, they have just getting on top of the clutch - next run looks like they might put a little more power into it and see how it goes :rolleyes:

HT have finished testing for today - last run was a 7.73 @ 187mph. They are coming to grips with what it wants and there is plenty in reserve for the weekend, should be a good one! :P

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
