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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
