Thanks Paul, I will hopefully post some results once its complete

Ben,

Great to see its come along so nicely. It's been a fair while in coming but it looks like you've made all the right decisions.

Now you just have to hope the NSW cursed SBS doesn't hit you!

But it would be great to see you down in Vic sometime - have you come down and play where the real track GTR's hang out!

Ok my small brain can't work out what SBS is....

I will certainly take the drive to PI (the long way via the great ocean road) from here in sunny Adelaide as soon as there is a open practice day going.... and I am in OZ

what is a good lap time for you there?

oh and Mik? I thought you were getting engine work done???

[Mik]

I heard you were getting a nip and tuck

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Damn you!! I told you that in confidence

Ben...I'm giving it a bit of a freshen up...but not 'getting it done', doing it myself.

SBS = sump baffle syndrome.

Funny thing is I think there have even been a few engine let go up there that have had sump baffles fitted.

Dunno - SK has some interesting thoughts on SBS but I can't comment as its not something we really see down here at all.

As for the Island - well its a fun track to get your head around due to the speeds. Given there are 3 corners taken at over 200km/hr it takes a little while to have the confidence in your car and yourself to go flat out.

Anyways - when I went I was told initially the aim was to break 2:00mins which in a GTR with semi's is pretty easy. Then go from there.

I've managed a best so far there of 1.49.3 which was with the stock turb's and Tein HA suspension. Hoping to lower that this weekend but not sure if the weather is going to play nice or not. Given its all big sweepers just about the track grip levels will play as much a part on me lowering that time as anything else.

But from all my times to the Island there only ever been 1 other car (GTR) on street tyres crack a sub 1.50 so thats a reasonable bench mark to aim for.

[Marko R1]

guys,

I may need to pull out my R1 - you can't beat the power/weight ratio of a 2 wheeler

Todays street 'superbikes' carry 185hp & weigh in @ 170kg!!!

No modification needed unless you want to launch into orbit

(my best time @ Eastern Creek 1:39 on street tyres)

yeah SBS is an interesting one. I think Ben has baffles, or custom sump or something.

don't worry snowman for now i'm flying the flag in NSW of being the only bloke in GTR running around without baffles. Done a few OP days and EC too as yet no problem (touch wood). but i must confess i did just buy a set of tomei baffles for insurance and will put them in when I whip out the motor. Boy will i look stupid if i fark the motor due to oil surge

crotch rocket junkie eh? no wonder you need GT-RS turbos... car will still feel like a nugget next to the bike, but at least you can pick your nose while driving... show me that on a bike. hahaha

Interesting, i ran my r1 with my gtr (im on the bike, g'friend driving the gtr) - they actually accelerate identical to 1 another although as soon as i change gear i pull about 1/2 a car length on the bike...

my g'friend tends to change quite slow & gentle (not being sexest here ok) so i think with me behind the gtr wheel it would be very equal with the faster gear changing

this was done on the m5 in sydney here with a no. of runs varying from 80-120 all the way to 240! shhhh

[Beer Baron]

let's test it again, this time i'll drive your GTR, you ride the bike. sounds good.

BTW though in rolling acceleration they will be close as the huge amount more power the GTR makes make up for it's weight disadvantage.

BUT i'd like to see you take the GTR round EC in 1:39!!!!! bike will be miles quicker under brakes, and through corners.

no picker noser's in my car - i can imagine the nuggets u would leave behind like droppings! LOL

right on the topic here of gtss's huh!?

Gtr would never crack that time - absolutely impossible!

its the other way around - i.e. the bike is slower thru cnrs & under braking due to the tyre surface patch BUT a bike will make up for it on the straights

[williamsf1]

ahhhhhhh but marko, take the bike and the car to say wakefield and your GTR would smash it....

to put all the bike V car stuff into perspective, an F1 car is about 9 seconds faster at sepang where both race game over....

but yes stock R1 V anything legal???? 1 to the bike

I still remember that day you and I saw that guy splattered on the old pac... I'll stick to driving, as a mistake in a GTR is easier to fix....

[williamsf1]

Mik thats what I meant.... you are doing your engine...

nice!

so what suspension are you running now? I have tien HA and am looking at getting the group buy on the whiteline gear for the rest of the package....

any other bits worth getting???

[Roy]

Can we possibly have one thread without the dick swining/bitchfest, I mean is it even possible?

No, thats why they call id Brag Racing

What mph and 60ft is it running with the 2530s?

As for PI...nothing compares to Sandown slow corner exits and big heart in the mouth braking...its easier to enjoy then the balls to the wall, lunatic GTR drivers apply at PI

[JAGR33]

Bit of a joke....ok so were talking about you now are we

My wife runs 11's.....so your 12.1 is the laughing stock now

Dyno modes are not important to us....you were the tool who thought it needed mentioning!

EDIT: Ive just been informed that this isn't the only thread that youve been bitchin' about this ....... you really must get over it. PM me if you feel you have more to say....as this is getting off topic

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

"My wife runs 11's.....so your 12.1 is the laughing stock now"

Good one mate, comments like these really shows how professional "DIRTGarage" is, how about you get off your high horse and show us a dyno graph of your car done in non-shootout mode, or will that degrade your 'world leading' figures????

R31Nismoid made a comment with sarcasm and you've obviously taken it the wrong way.....

williamsf1 - very impressive result, those GT-SS's are proving to be quite a package when matched and tuned with the right parts...

Keep up the good work.....

[Dragster33]

Does Jims afr only go straight on his own dyno

That line is far from straight
