'nitto' R34 Gtr Wins Powercruise Dyno Comp

[rad100]

Well.....

Just got home from powercruise and what can i say..

The Yellow R34 GTR wearing 'Nitto' plates took out the Powercruise dyno comp making a staggering 1017hp at the wheels. The car appeared to eclipse the 1000hp mark with ease and much to my surprise I later found out it was only using e85 fuel running a boost level around the mid to low 30's. The build quality of this car is impressive and looks like it means business with its GT47 turbo mounted forward of the strut tower in the engine bay. The car was built by Mercury Motorsport and runs a Red R Racing prepared Nitto 2.7 litre engine with the Nitto catalogue thrown at it.

Really cant wait to see this thing run more boost and even drink some race fuel and push the RH9 GTR at autosalon..

Congrats to Mercury Motorsport, Red R Racing and Nitto for putting on a good show and taking the trophy off the V8 boys.

Wonder if it can become the most powerful GTR in the world?

Doubt it will be the most powerful, Taking into account Mark Jacobson's GTR and the Heat Treament car But a bloody good effort!

A lot of time and effort was put into that Nitto 2.7 build, credit to Red R Racing.

Props to Red R and Mercury!

AAAhhh RED R the only choice. well done Paul.

[The Dan]

Very impressive indeed. Paul knows how to build em alright.

I also doubt it will become the most powerful as Mark's makes about 1400hp and Heat Treatment makes around 1600hp but it's certainly on it's way. That turbo is capable of more so I would have to ask the question, what is next on the list to open her up some more?

[rad100]

would be good to see it on race fuel? and more boost haha!

seeing it pull 3rd gear down the straight at powercruise was impressive

[MercuryMotorsport]

We definitely don't want to be the most powerful gtr, we just wanted to build a car to showcase our skills as a tuning workshop. It is a testament to everyone involved. I basically thrashed the car all weekend and the last thing on sunday put it on the dyno just to see how it would go.
