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 :(

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
