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

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
