Good work Theo, must be a big relief for you guys to achieve a time you know the the car's capable of! Was there anything specifically you did to drop the time?

Looking at the times, if you can get the 60ft down to what some of the other guys in the 9's have, you'll be getting awfully close to a 9.0!

Congrats!

How many runs did ya do?....did you run more timing?.....who won in what car?....what other times did ya run...etc??

Oh yeah and congrats as per ph call on Saturday.

well done theo on your great time .

great effort on resetting the bar..

i think its time to turn the wick up on the black beast....ha ha ha

just been to busy with my new workshop at present to play cars...

cheers mark

ps. those new spark plugs i gave you are the go.....................

awesome work

I did a quick search and can't seem to find the model federal tyre you use as I need new drag tyres with times like this from them damn they must have some grip

i have brand new MTs in the shed, might have to sell them off and go to the federals, they been doing some development work on their tyres or am i missing something here. no bastard seems to sell them in the newcastle area.

good work on the ET theo,

i better go prod carlos to get his rear in to gear. would be good to see low nine sec pases toyota versus nissan.

Can you tell us what tyres you used Theo??

BTW car looks great and an awesome effort on the time :blink:

Tread pattern looks like Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radials....looks like Theo has finally opted for some decent rubber.

Theo Woollett Racing Nissan GT-R Runs Personal Best Pass at Tin Tops

April 10th, 2006

By Ben Wooster

At the Australian Tin Top Titles held at Willowbank Raceway last weekend, Theo Woollett Racing have reached their goal of completing a sub 9.5 second time in their street registered and street tyred R32 Nissan Skyline GTR, with an elapsed time of 9.359 seconds at a terminal speed of 153.01mph (246klm/h) achieved over the ¼ mile track.

Highlighting improved traction as a major contributor to the improved performance, team owner and driver, Theo Woollett added, “We’ve been making the power for quite awhile, now we’re tuning the car to get it to the ground effectively”, stating that gains have been made in suspension setup and power delivery characteristics to achieve the weekend’s improvement of nearly 0.5 seconds of their previous best time.

TWR’s Skyline GTR is still very close to it’s original factory specification, with a totally factory standard body shell with glass, standard suspension pick-up points, and still sports such niceties as power windows and full trim. Therefore, the vehicle still weighs in at a substantial 3420lbs (1554kg), making it quite a feat to get this heavy car down the road using what is still a very small capacity 2.6 litre six cylinder engine, albeit in heavily modified form.

With around 1000 turbocharged horsepower emanating from the engine, Theo says the engine thrives on huge RPM and turbo boost , stating that he’s used well over 10,000rpm and 40psi during previous runs, but on the weekend’s 9.35-second run the engine didn’t rev over 9,800rpm or see more than 32psi of boost pressure. “Once we are confident with our current suspension set-up, we will once again increase the RPM and boost limits in an attempt to crack the 8-second barrier”, said Theo when interviewed after his record run, adding “We still have a couple of tenths to shave off the 60ft time, and I’m confident once we do this, we will be in the time bracket we know the car is capable of “.

With Theo and his team now seemingly coming to grips with this high-tech drag racing package, the months ahead will prove interesting as they takes the fight up to the traditional V8 racers, and their fellow Nissan campaigners around the country. Stay tuned!

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
