Wish I could see this, will there be any coverage of the event or where will I be able to procure said footage?

World Time Attack will have DVD's for sale after the event but if you want more specific viewing I know GT Auto and Drew have plenty of cameras mounted on and in the R35.

Wait until they are back and it will pop up.

Until then you can see some pics here: http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=754055

It was great working with the GT Garage Team across the course of Superlap.

Also great to see our transmission components - clutches and hardware - stand up to the punishment of what is now Australias fastest GTR. Congrats on the results for your hard work :)

Thanks Martin for your help over the weekend. Was a pleasure to meet you. Your experience on these cars and quality gearbox products were extremely valuable to us. We were down in the dumps a bit after the fuel fire and it was great to have some extra support.

Looking forward to developing this car much further.

Well done to everybody from GT Auto Garage and anyone else involved in this build.

Many ups and downs for the team at WTAC but we managed to get a great time from the car.

Not only that, we know the car has much more potential!

Thanks everybody for the hard work.

well done guys. big effort and fantastic result. I was cringing when it caught fire right outside our pits and even more so when extinguisher after extinguisher was emptied on it. can't blame the fireies. it's not often they get to cut loose so when there's a fire they do tend to get a bit eager with the powder!

the car looks fantastic and was a real credit to you all.

Had great weekend at WTAC. Thank you for all the sponsors and people helping to achieve this result.

re the HKS CT230, I'd be keen to know just how much of the "go-fast" goodies have been removed from it? I'm not sure if you guys would even be privvy to that info?

I had a brief look over the car in Sydney, and didn't see much super special about it?

I hear the car is for sale for $130k, and I guess I'm wondering if the fast parts come in a seperate box? Or was it simply one of those "freak" cars that is quick without trying to hard? :P

Hello Ben.

No there is no tricks to the HKS CT230R except great attention to detail. It's been left how it ran on the track. There has been intercooler and radiator differences between tracks but otherwise untouched. It's all in the details and keeping the weight down.

You must understand that other cars have developed further since this car was on the track with the multitude of diffusers used these days. It would still be interesting to see what it would run against them even without further development in the last 5 years.

HKS always sets the benchmark with projects which takes others years to catch (R33 GTR Drag / S15 Silvia Drift / CT230R EVO Time Attack). All these cars were built and dominated the sport then retired. You then see others trying to still beat the records years after HKS have switched their focus elsewhere.

You are more then welcome to come to GT Auto's Open Day and have a good look over the car in detail and not under the pressure of World Time Attack. It can also be sold if the money is right but $130k doesn't come close sorry.

Cheers

Marty

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
