Hi guys,

Did a bit of searching around and noticed that, Most of the time attack lists and other times posted are all SAU related. Whos the Fastest track going GTR ( or Skyline) that is of course RB powered, In australia. And how do our fellow SAU drivers compare. Now obviously most of our SAU guys are privateers And i bet they are up there with the best of them, Sponsored guys and other Private guys who are Not SAU affiliated.

Maybe we can formulate some sort of list.

Unless someone knows of a list thats already out there I just cannot find :worship:

In Vic - the 4 fastest GT-R's I know of are: (all times on R Comp tyres)

1. Sam Marcov (R32 GTR) - times include 1.15 at Sandown and 1.29 at Winton

2. Ben Derks (Racepace R33 GTR) - 1.16 at Sandown and 59s at Calder

3. Frank Picconi (R33 GTR) - 1.31 at Winton and 1.43 at Phillip Island

4. John Kennedy (R33 GTR) - 1.16 at Sandown and 1.43 at Phillip Island

Not sure how the Berry/Newman (giant) GTR would stack up against these lot these days but I'd expect that they'd be right up there. Although I still don't see them touching the Marcov GTR yet.

yeh and he claims a 1:14 around the national track....thats average supercar times incase people arnt aware. Also those claims are made all on re55 semi slicks.

Also on a side note his car is a r33 gtst...not gtr.

Yeah I've seen a write up on that car, but seriously 52.8 (Sprint) and 1:14 (National) is just stupidly quick, that's over 2 seconds quicker than giant's car! I'd pay to see that :whistling:

Sam Markov (SM Motorsport) 1.42's around the Island..............not too shabby for a bloke from the country.

Who cares if the car is quick. The thing is so well presented and built, thats enough for me. The fact that its damn quick to boot is a bonus. It is the best put together car i have seen around the traps. The level of finish is better then most State series cars :P

I dont know much about the car, as i think its changed a bit since i had a good look at it.

Its a beautifully stripped R32, white wtih fully colour coded interior, single seat only. It used to run an Rb26 with a small single, around the 3076 mark. I have since heard it now has an RB30 with bigger single, but based on the results of lots of GTRs of late could have reverted to twins as last time i heard it out at PI it didnt sound like it was running a single.

Was running 17" wheels, neat cage and rationalised loom and wiring. The thng is beautifully prepared and i have an idea of some of the other mods it runs but cant be sure so wont speculate.

He used to own a red R32 with similar mods and state of tune, which was made from a spare Gibson shell. I understand he sold that car to a buyer in QLD and the white car is his EVO 2, incorporating the things he got right on the first car and fixing the things he got wrong

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
