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.

Yeah i knew you were joking as for the Hello kitty seat pad WTF were they thinking not my taste at all, thats one part i never liked about the HKS car :wave:

Had Reece changed anything on on the car?

lucky as. pics pics

Have realised our cable to connect camera to computer is at home....have to wait till we get back to Aust on Sunday.

Is there any particular parts of the car you would like to see....such as where they set the dials on the torque split controller ?

Now hurry up and get on the damn plane :D

we lift the hood on the beast

1252585imgcz8.th.jpg

standard coil packs are an interesting find

1252584imggt1.th.jpg

1252583imgxg7.th.jpg

a big thanks goes to Daryl at Redline Performance for allowing us a few hours with the car

1252591imgux5.th.jpg

1252590imgdk9.th.jpg

the lever closest to driver is for the parachute

1252598imgnp2.th.jpg

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

1252599imgvp4.th.jpg

note where they have the torque split set..the dots they have put on the unit indicate this is their true race position

1252597imgxs5.th.jpg

i see they use a "DiRTgarage" style 4WD 2WD switch for burnouts

1252592imgjh2.th.jpg

the famous Hello Kitty Seatpad

1262617imgxn4.th.jpg

note the angled flange to change the direction the air enters the port

1262614imghr6.th.jpg

solonoids for air shift mechanisim

1262620imgzm7.th.jpg

fuel system comprises of a small fuel cell and 3 bosch 044 pumps

1262604imguf1.th.jpg

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.

1262603imgks8.th.jpg

the result of no air filters...compressor wheel has certainly seen better days

1252589imgaq9.th.jpg

the std boost guage sensor was an unlikely thing to spot

1252586imgml0.th.jpg

three stage dry sump pump..two scavenge pickups and one feed...keen eyes will spot the ATI balancer

1252600imgze2.th.jpg

this would be the heaviest hydraulic clutch ive ever operated.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
