From some of the stuff I read, The gtr700 ran petrol and HKS gtr ran HKS race fuel which is close to petrol. All 3 run air to air intercoolers with gtr 700 and heat treatment both running the super thick trust drag spec items (like kier wilson). Dont know if the GTR-700 will race this month against reece but it is aparently got a whole new engine ready to go. Cant wait to see reece run though. luck for me the plane tickets are cheap cause every one is buying up to go to melbourne. I think the new record should be a given. If all goes well i reckon we might even see a low 7.

Huh thats finished?

The car is nearly ready - we are just having a tuning issue.

Methanol IS NOT easy. Apparantly Reece took a year to get the tune

right using methanol as we are just finding out now.

Fark........ 7.57.... that is just amazing, wish I was there to see it.

I remember being at Drag Combat in May 2002 when the HKS

GTR was there. 7 second GTRs are just awesome.

I dont actually have a set of wheels for my GTR at the moment. The ones in the photos are off Keir's GTR so we can roll it around. I have Carbon brakes on it so we can fit 15" rims if we decide to run slicks at some stage. We are just using std 17" R33 GTR rims on the car for the dyno. I had some nice gold TE37s a while ago, but I sold them as the car was not being used for so long.

I tried to get some 15" Advans a while ago, but was told they stopped making them.

Keir uses a 15" US Weld racing rim to run slicks on, they may not fit the R33 gtst though

because of the offset. Shouldn't be too hard to borrow some centerlines or weldies & play around

with them to see it they fit. If only they made 16 or 17" slicks. It would make life much easier

for sport compact racing.

Holy Shit John that looks amazing!

Can't wait to see it up and running however I guess AIR being up in no mans land at the moment doesn't help!

Either way i hope its here that you run it first if AIR get saughted

If AIR doesn't open soon, I may just take it interstate once to test it,

& then sell the car complete. It is a shame, but no point having a GTR

like this & not being able to use it regularly.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
