2012 Gt-R Goes 10.67....

[Martin Donnon]

Many 10 second GTRs do so on the totally stock transmission.

With the advent of LC4 they are as likely to fail driving to the shops as they are running 10 second passes.

Our WR600 - 0-400m 10.3 sec, won the Temora 1000 - stock transmission

Kevs WR600 0-400m 10.6 sec, won the Snowy 1000 - stock transmission

35Rs WR450 0-400m 10.7 sec, won the NSW Supersprint Champs 2 years straight - stock transmission

- stock as in nothing changed other than the fluid -

You can be unlucky with these cars in terms of random component failure, but a properly sorted GTR that runs mid/high 10s shouldnt damage the transmission through overpowering the internals with a handful of drag runs every year

Wow, I apologise then. I was under the distinct impression from reading your numerous posts regarding the R35's transmission that you highly recommended safe guarding it with a number of upgrades to prevent the chance of a 'catastrophic internal failure'. You certainly cover the topic in some depth on your website.

'With the advent of LC4 they are as likely to fail driving to the shops as they are running 10 second passes.'

Well that's reassuring from a car costing nearly 200k.

What Martin means is that trans component failure is random, not determined by how many launches you've done - and to avoid any issues in the long term make sure the appropriate servicing is done over its lifetime.

I can relate to this, a mate of mine a few years ago blew a hole the size of my fist thru the bottom end of a Mazda 3 MPS doing 2000 rpm @ 40kms/hr on a main street on the Gold Coast when a rod exploded. But many weeks before that, he was doing hill climbs up springbrook and pushing the car to the limit with the best of us.

Was the car stock - yes, did he thrash the balls off it, no. Totally random and unfortunate..... lucky the thing was under warranty though.

Fair enough. Just wish there was an extended warranty avaliable for this vehicle.
