A plate on the exhaust wheel?? Are you sure? Either way, HKS don't create the wheels - though cast their own housings in some cases.

HKS were 7.67 @ I think around 182mph and Heat Treatments are 7.57 @ 191mph. Those are the only times to beat that I am definitely sure of.

AWESOME! Congrats, thats great to hear - I ran on street tires with the same turbo, same boost and got the same time on them and have been intending on running my next meet on Micky Ts as well Fair to say I might be able to pull similar? I'm actually looking at raising the boost a tad too.

Absolutely outstanding work - one of my mates was there keeping me up to date and said he got to meet you, and said nothing but good stuff about you guys and your car Wish I could have been there to see it. Hope you guys get to go quicker, and that whatever happened on the last run wasn't too major

ATP's T3 flanged 5bolt one is a proper one You just need a XR6T style dump pipe.

My car running a .63 Garrett GT3076R was not any worse to drive than another R33 I know with an HKS GT2535. Under 3000rpm mine didn't build boost as fast as the GT2535, but whats the point in that? Below 3000rpm is not the fun area - its the area you want to potter around in and get fuel economy... not making lots of boost. I am pretty confident what I said up there is true...

Is another Oz GTR going to be there gunning for 7s?? I heard rumour GTR700 might be making a come back.

Yeah I wasn't going to say it, but its certainly true. 2.6litres is certainly very very impressive though given its not the original engine spec, the fact that its not rounded to 2.7, 2.8 or whatever litres is pretty academic. I personally wouldn't want to taint the sheer awesomeness of the achievement Mark and crew have done by making up world records for it when the short of it is it is one of 3 GTRs in the world who have managed a 7 after years and years of top tuners and big spenders making huge efforts to do so. Its an epic achievement and its clear that it could still go faster. Top effort guys

It takes nothing at all from Mark and crews achievement due to it being a drag chassis but it still doesn't change that the car was running a rb26 so no one can claim faster rb26 until they beat its time.

Yeah, if they can go a little quicker they will be able to too The mid/high 7s RWD Sentra from the States is still 2.6

Awesome! Congratulations! look forward to hearing how it goes tomorrow

Awesome, exciting stuff 173mph is certainly getting up there, fingers crossed it can get those extra few mph and a 10th less - would really like to see this car as the next 7s one! Good luck guys.

My vote is definitely bigger turbo. Enjoy it whenever you want, and if you go too big - then you can go NOS Ohh upgrading from the GT-RS?? Single turbo time??

Very cool - good luck guys What tires is it running on now, I am assuming full slicks?

To be fair the RBs fail at NA. I'd be much more inclined on going a different car or going to the length of transplanting a VQ35 or something like that in it. The VQs straight off the bat make more power than any of the non-GTR turbo RBs, and respond nicely to mods. If you kept the hood down, you might even be able to pass it off as a normal NA skyline

As far as I know this car is comparable (if not faster than) to the Zen Performance WRX also from the UK that went to Japan to compete in Revspeeds super battle at Tsukuba that ran >1second faster than the "all conquering" Hioctane racing R32 GTR

I vote, very very very hard - that you DO NOT go GT3082R. Max out the GT3076R first, you may be surprised at what they can do. If its not enough, don't mess about with the GT3082R - go to the GT3582R

Haha I know the GT3582Rs are underestimated by many, would love to see one pushed to the limit on an RB25. So long as you go 1.06a/r turbine housing you will possibly blow people away, I've known people to run near 150mph on them.

Have you mounted it yet?? You should find it doesn't look tiny, we've had a GT3076R and a GT3582R next to each other - the GT3076R does not look a hell of a lot smaller at all. 2Rismo - considering GT42RS?? Why did you bother going a GT3582R if you had the idea you might go something that big down the track

Trust/Greddy = Mitsi Blitz = KKK HKS = Garrett Apexi = IHI They all do things to help the turbo sold suit their application a bit more than buying something directly from the non-aftermarket manufacturer. HKS (as said a few times) offer some wheel combinations you wouldn't get when buying a Garrett "equivalent", and use a different ball bearing cage to what the Garrett units do - Garrett use a "plastic" cage which can fail, especially with insufficient cooling hence you NEED water cooling with Garrett turbos. I believe HKS use something a bit more resiliant?! Could be wrong though. Just the little things, though the only thing that'd have swung me to getting an HKS GT3037 instead of a Garrett GT3076R would have been ease of install if the price had been more comparable at the time.

Yeah the "good setup" thing runs very true here, I have similar power on exactly the same dyno as Nizmo_freek, at least as good tires on higher profile 17s, but stock suspension. I cannot go more than half throttle in first gear, and even then that sits it right at the limit of traction - second gear is fine though unless I shift gear aggressive. A rapid shift into second will result in more show than go. In the wet, rolling onto the throttle in 1st, 2nd or 3rd can be iffy... suspension is right up the top of my "next mod" list.

Yeah its Psymin - and the times it has run are not that flash at all for the power its made, hub dynos read higher than Dyno Dynamics BUT that is still slow for that power on that dyno. Is yours still a 2.6?

There is a chap in NZ who has a 800hp Stagea using an RB26DETT converted to single T04Z, it struggles to go much faster than around mid 11s on the strip though I figure the 2.6 is far too small for the heavy thing.

The only GT30 that has the T04S compressor cover is the GT3082R, unless you count the weird ball bearing GT30T04 thing that some guys in Ozzie end up with. GT3076R is a .60a/r antisurge cover That turbo looks like a weird Ozzie GT30T04 76mm thing with a VG30 turbine housing bored out to fit the turbine wheel.

Not true, higher revs add a far greater load than increased torque on an engine. You can double the power of an engine using boost and the same rev range (provided good tuning) while adding only a percentage more stress on the bottom end - well short of 100% more. Its pretty much the opposite for extra revs, add 25% more rev range to a car to make only a little more power and the stresses on the bottom and top end go through the roof. The trick is that a large amount of the stress on rods etc go into accelerating and decelerating the pistons/rods in each direction (with the rods holding a lot of the force). Putting more boost into a motor will not add to net effect of the of the reciprocating masses, revs does.
