I had a great night at wsid last night even though I only got 3 runs in before being told to get a super street license. I was driving the Midnight Purple R32 GTR with ZILLA plates.

My times were:

12.036 @ 114.05 mph, 1.858 (60')

11.981 @ 115.81 mph, 1.858

11.946 @ 113.34 mph, 1.822

I achieved these times using average quality and condition street tyres and running the car in full street trim including same boost I use on the street (19psi).

Some mods include:

R34 N1 Turbos

PFC

Twin plate clutch

Happy to now own a TRUE 11 second street car !! :D:(

Hi BU5TER, yeah i live not far from steves shop and i was getting some work done on my old pintara when i noticed your car there. Your motor looks very impressive, cant wait to see it run. Had a good chat to Steve about it.

un_majstk, I cant realy tell u what it cost as most of performance gear was already on the car when I bought it. I have spent most of my time and effort painting it.

I was there but can't remember a midnight purple gtr... did you run up against a gunmetal grey r32 gtr (which I think blew an IC pipe on 1 run) ?

Yes quite a few r32's there on wed nite including 1 that was for sale:

1992 R32 GTR

'HKSGTR' nsw plates

~160,000km (not aware of any rebuilds and had the car for 2yrs)

Gunmetal Grey (2wk old respray)

PWR Radiator

Splitfire Coils

Std FMIC (with HKS written all over it)

PowerFC + H/C

A few gauges

~360rwkw

~$30k

Aftermarket rims

Redline engine/gearbox/diff oils

Very neat inside and out

0402772703 if anybody wants to call him

It was his first time there with the gtr, his best from memory was 12.0 and was doing pretty consistent 12.4's @ 110mph with very average launches (1.8-1.9 but bogging down).

The VL had a set of brand new tyres and the driver wasn't going to stop until either the engine or the tyres blew. The Nissan engine did well. :rofl: Definitely the longest burnout I have ever seen. It was done in memory of his younger brother who passed away at 16 last month.

If you didnt see me that may be because I was finished all 3 of my runs by about 7.15, so we then parked the car and sat and watched. Didnt want to buy the super street license as I achieved my aim for the night and iam a bit short on cash atm.

ECR033, yeah mph was a bit down on last run. I think this may be because I hit the limiter in first. I gave it a few more revs on that launch and it surprised me how quick 2nd gear was needed.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
