Just heard this time was run at Willowbank today! Great to hear! Gives HKS a hurry up, maybe they'll bring the 33 out of retirement?

I believe the previous record was 7.67 @ 181.7 mph?

From what I hear, Reese's car still has some time to come yet, with .1 of a second to find in the 60ft and raise the limiter so it's not banging hard up against it over the last 100ft or so.........

Jambo should be good!

Congrats to the NZ team, it's been one of the longest standing drag records ever and it's awesome to finally see it broken :happy:

It did have those issues last week when it was running the 7.7s... I'd say they've cleaned it up to hit 7.59, that's an AWESOME time.

HKS car won't come out of retirement, i'll put bets on that.

THAT IS BLOODY FANTASTIC!

im cut i didnt realise they was testing today or i would have gone and got video footage

well done.

7.59 @ 192mph is MONSTEROUS!

That should improve with more time on aussie tracks...

oh and i'd bet my arse that the hks gtr wont be going anywhere lol.

mick

Congrats alright! :happy:

Apparently, todays run was done with a rev limit of 9500. It was still hitting the limiter, so now they've worked out they need 11,000, so thats where it gonna be set! Work it out.... if it gets close to 11 grand, she'll crack 200mph!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!

It was also black-tracking the entire quarter, so she aint lacking! :angry:

I dunno how much truth there is to what i read but apprently its in the HKS workshop as we speak!

Either way its an awesome acheivement!

Congrats to the guys!

According to someone on the GTROC-UK forums (the same someone that did HPI's HKS Evo Tsukaba car article, who was physically in the same room as the R33) the HKS R33 is sitting pretty after being freshly rebuilt, so I dare say once word trickles round it will be back out soon.

Congratulations that is a massive achievement.

would be great if HKS roll out there car again. bring back the GTR drag glory days of the 90s. Veilside have not been standing still either and when I was there earlier this year the owner told me they have now run a 7.6 on slicks with their 32 which smashed their previous best of 8.XX (poor memory) on radials. Not sure if their 7.6X was in testing or competition or what though. He told me it was just a bees dick off HKS's record.

lol, beesu diku.

from memory HKS had run 7.676 and veilside was either 7.678 or 7.68X. either way it was deffo 7.6something. I asked him about 3 times to make sure i didn't misunderstand. :happy:

Yeah sorry to go off topic BUT can anyone confirm who owns GTR700 now?

Is Mario still the owner or has CRD taken ownership?

It will be CRD's car when it makes its return.

Congrats to the Heat Treatments team

Jambo will be a fanastic meet - looking forward to seeing many official record-breaking numbers!

Also, Rigoli has run an 8.1 in the 2 door 3.3L WRX STI, so plenty of 4wd action.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
