a buddy of mine from newcastle went to wsid last night to run his r32 gtr, only having done 4 passes on the track in this car he managed a 10.8et at 123 mph.

first pass of the night was a 10.9 at 124 he said it wheel spun bad of the line and sixty footed in the high 1.6 region.

nest pass just did a launch and cruised through

next pass launched well and decided to stay into it and run the 10.8 with a high 1.5 sixty foot.

i am not sure of the spec of the car, as speaking skyline is like trying to speak spanish for me.

it has low mount turbos of some description, all factory cooler plumbing, its a built engine standard gearbox good clutch and he used TWOOGLEs tyres for last night.

he has been booted till he gets all the safety gear. so it will be a while till the time improves.

i think there is more left in it as he reports only 21 psi was used. not sure on fuel type but i know theres no gas yet.

Yup he was afew cars infront of me last nite, that's 1 tough looking and sounding GTR.

From memory it made 415rwkw on the dyno wednesday morning and it's a 2.7L with unknown turbo's and a twin plate clutch.

I believe he has done more than 4 runs, actually he did 4 runs last nite and atleast 4 runs on another meeting I seen him at.

it made 415 kw on hills dyno, i sent him a message back saying take 30% off and the figure will be about right and the MPH backs that up some what.

all the cars i have heard about coming of hills dyno with these big figures have not been able to replicate it elsewhere or on the track with MPH.

Glens, happy with the result and feels there is more there with more driving and playing with tyre pressures.

i think theres a 10.6 in the car when fully sorted.

Awesome work on the 10.8, very efficient et for the mph well done

I think one of the GTR's from up there parked next to me aswell last time I was racing which made me move my car hahaha as I had a mate and my wife and kids coming in 2 other cars and was trying to keep each side clear for them to park next to me sorry if it seemed rude :wave:

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
