This is all quite old news, it happened months ago. It was (7.81 @ 17xmph) the first meet with a new engine and turbo setup - the package definately had more in it, and has not done a meet since. I fully expect this car to go quicker than HKS did in Oz....

I recommend going to watch this - seeing/hearing it go in person is definately a hoot :P Theres no other GTR in the world currently racing that I am aware of which is going to show you solid 7 second runs.

Awesome!!!! gives me goose bumps!!!

I have to ask a question, well a couple actually.

Is this 7sec GTR rear wheel drive?? what's the go?? no smoke or spinning from the front wheels??

which prompts me to ask another question?? i've watched a few drift videos & see some GTR's drifting & only smoke from the rear??

WTF? am i missing something??

You can convert them to rwd in the 32s by pulling a fuse. R32s Im pretty sure are primarily RWD until you loose traction as well.

Hmm, mines only an 11 sec GTR & when i jump off the clutch at 8,000 i'm smokin 4 x 4 :D

i reckon he's gotta be an 11,000 man so it should be smoking from every orifice!!!

awesome car, just f ing awesome!!

would really like to know the answer as to why the Mecca of 4WD weaponry is running 7's on two??

whats the benifit?

two on street tires would be a saussage sizzle?

Drag slicks different of course, but just doesen't compute?

WTF? am i missing something??

Most likely converting it to rear wheel drive for the burn out to heat up the tyres.

Either way i think it would still be 4WD!

Quick times but since its on Menthanol now i don't really consider it in the same leauge as HKS, GTR 700 and Keir Wilson etc. those guys are all still using petrol which is where the challenge is at.

As you can see converting to Methanol has made it very easy to dipp into the 7's

I seriously think GTR 700 will be the 1st Aussie 7sec GTR if and when it comes back!

Either way i think it would still be 4WD!

Sorry - It IS still running a 4WD setup, and also ran into the low 8s before it turned to Methanol. The Methanol setup was the major change which got it into the 7s, and since then its got a new motor and turbo combination - who knows what THAT evolution is capable of. He's taken it to Oz to find out :O

I'm guessing you guys know that in testing at Willowbank Heat Treatments have got down to 7.73 @ 183mph? They have a reputation of systematically getting quicker and quicker - so fingers crossed the weather is good for Jamboree! >_<

That'd be the quickest run ever by a Skyline GTR in Oz - quite cool when you consider the HKS drag R33 has raced there!

it still runs an air to air intercooler also last time i checked. why i dont know but there must be some need for cooling.

a local tuner here (blue evo that runs low 8's) has said these passes arent on full power either so that shows lots of promise :(

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
