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:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
