I am building a Silvia s14a, so hopfully will have a lap time up soon.

Was great fun throwing a GTR around although my 'stocky' doesn't handle as well as a well sorted example. The well sorted Evo's and Rex's did well as expected but the difference was 2s between me and 1st place (sorted Evo 8 I think) so not huge.

See in car vids of my runs here:

Ahhh, whats a baseline time? I didn't have the stereo pumpin if that's what you mean? I'm putting the better time down to my running a massive hangover and 3 hours sleep, witness the Dutton Sandown effort for prior evidence of that :D, although, even though I was very "relaxed" in the car, I failed to stay absolutely flat out under Dunlop bridge :[

There's been no change to the car save for a tune which has made it a little more linear in it's power delivery, same old bald and blued Dunlop 02G's, no alignment or setup changes yet.

I can't wait to throw your green bits in it, but figured there wasn't much point rushing and changing it until I can directly compare it on the same track, which means either visiting Morgan Park for a weekend or waiting until Lakeside opens again.

Giant and I will give it a good alignment and corner wieght as soon as we both have time, and will likely setup your green hornets for installation at the same time. :(

SM Motorsport GTR

Driver: Sam Markov

Date: 24.10.2008

Winton lap time: 1.28.30 (max speed 215kph)

More to come as still unhappy with suspension and down about 30 rwkw

WOW, that's an awesome effort, that's flyyying...

What tyres were used?

That max speed is about 15km/hr up on what I can run there. Be good to know where that extra speed comes from - whether its corner exit speed, grunt, weight or a mixture of all of them.

I think its pretty safe to say its a mixture of them all, even though he was down 30rwkw at the time. If you really want to know, give him a call. I think it is also pretty safe to say that there is still quite a bit in it.....possibly another couple of seconds. Now I know some people may laugh at that, but they qoviosly dont know Sam. He was actually quite dissapointed with the car on the day.

So are you gonna tell us what tyres he used or is that a secret?

No secret............will be sure to post it up when i find out, other matters were more pressing at the time of conversation .

Regardless, all tyres he currently uses are capable of those times within a second or so of each other. There are quite a few more factors to take into account with this car that are a bigger contribution to those times.

I just came back from Winton today. After looking at the times you guys are posting for the long track I am going home with my tail between my legs. :yucky:

Gotta get me some slicks for my road car :P, and finish the track car ASAP

New PB for me at Sandown today - 1.21.2

Was a the Holden Sporting Car Club / Ford Four Car Club Sprints

Alot of varying speeds in my group would be a large understatement.

A bit of battle scarring too. Another GT-R there caught fire unfortunately, no one injured more importantly.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
