So whats the deal did it run? did Reece Run any times? you are correct on the HKS name...i was just having a joke...the Bride racing seat in the HKS car has a "hello kitty seatpad" it did not run but here's some news about Reeces runs... Heat Treatments GTR The HT team didn't really expect to break any records at taupo. Despite this, the car still ran a solid 7.77, and then a 7.78. The 7.7 pass should have been quicker, as the car crept on the line and red lit before Reece actually launched (the timer starts from when the beam is broken). The next pass was looking great, with a PB mph to half track (152mph!!), but unfotunately the front diff broke in the 2nd half of the track. Becuase the front diff is integral with the sump, it also cracked this part, putting the car out of action for the afternoon.

Swiper the Fox Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 we lift the hood on the beast standard coil packs are an interesting find a big thanks goes to Daryl at Redline Performance for allowing us a few hours with the car the lever closest to driver is for the parachute Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/157076-guess-who-was-sitting-at-the-wheel-of-the-hks-gtr-today/#findComment-2935538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiper the Fox Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 all the ATTESSA pumps are relocated to the passenger seat area. There is normally a carbon fibre cover over these for asthetics which they allowed me to remove to photograph note where they have the torque split set..the dots they have put on the unit indicate this is their true race position i see they use a "DiRTgarage" style 4WD 2WD switch for burnouts the famous Hello Kitty Seatpad Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/157076-guess-who-was-sitting-at-the-wheel-of-the-hks-gtr-today/#findComment-2935635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiper the Fox Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 note the angled flange to change the direction the air enters the port solonoids for air shift mechanisim fuel system comprises of a small fuel cell and 3 bosch 044 pumps dash is a simple as a shift light, a gear indicator, a brake pressure guage, a warning light (low oil pressure) and an oil pressure guage.

Swiper the Fox Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 the result of no air filters...compressor wheel has certainly seen better days the std boost guage sensor was an unlikely thing to spot three stage dry sump pump..two scavenge pickups and one feed...keen eyes will spot the ATI balancer this would be the heaviest hydraulic clutch ive ever operated.
