The car is quick, but there is another E36 in the workshop that should be far more impressive. Its fully stripped, caged, big brakes, M3 GTR bodykit, etc etc.....and it will have a turbo'd Sam Markov developed engine (still the 6 cyl) somewhere in the 700hp area. Should be interesting to say the least.

Another update on the SM Motorsport M3.....now has done 1.27.30 around Winton!!!!!! This was on new tyres and measured with a Performance Box.

Must have been those new swaybars I made for Sam :thumbsup:

Cheers

Wouldn't most of these GTRs have turn out for the past Superlaps?

I reckon in NSW from what I have seen is Bright R32 GTR, Burgess R32 GTR, Duncan's R35 and Stuart Inwoods R33 GTR has the goods

I also find that these GTR's only do super sprints,Time attacks,drive days..

Is grid racing really that scary? Why dont any of the awesome GTR's do grid racing (besides Inwood's R33) How insane would Marks R34 Carbon R34 be in a grid race...

Maybe it's just me but I want to step up to that next level of adrenalin motorsport fun...

well don't forget the BSM GTR....they have won NSW production car and improved production titles, and the national improved production title in thier gtr, and it is now being setup for sports sedans (has already raced with a top 5 finish).

But yeah if you want to look at GTRs that have raced (door to door) in NSW I only know of:

BSM 32 GTR (originally prod car, then ipra, now sports sedan, about 4 seasons)

Brad's 32 GTR (sports sedan, mra, 2 seasons)

Stu Inwood's 33 (Irace, 1 or 2 races)

Mark's 32 (production car, 1 season)

my 32 (production car, 3 seasons)

roadrace's 32 (production car, previously peter conroys car, 1 or 2 races)

SSS/Geoff Fear's 32 GTR (irpa car, now owned by fernando but not raced since, 1 season)

that's it. the only 7 skylines in NSW that have done door to door racing. as for why not more....dunno!??! I love it! And plenty of people spend way more than me on cars that have never raced. wierd.

Oh whoops I forgot about "those" GTR's and yours Duncan..I thought they were talking about the stupid Quick GTRs around Oz....Lofty should be in a league of his own LOL

It's great to see a GTR's launch off the line in a racing field...I still have memorys of yours Duncan in a IPRA meeting..Best thing I have ever seen is a GTR launch when the lights go out and carve up the field into turn 1...Think that was a day/night meeting also :D:P

haha yeah that was great fun, the day night race meeting last year. I started 6th and was 2nd into turn 1 having overtaken 4 sports sedans :P we even warned the sports sedan in front that I would come past up the outside and they laughed. lol. day night meets are great, I'm really going to miss oran park.

Sam Markov runs in IPRA

sorry, but unless he is running 2x32mm intake restrictors and is therefore limited to about 250awkw, he has ignored the most important IPRA regulation - the one that makes it almost impossible to be competitive.

his car would make a great sports sedan though, it's a shame has hasn't given it a real crack because I would love to see how competitive it could be.

Bradnster's GTR is the king of competative GTR's

There is no arguing that. What they have acheived with that car, or those 2 cars is incrediable.

The berry/newman 32 was very sucessfull at what it did but I have nothing but respect for the brandster guys and what they did with cars less than ideal for the category.

Duncan and I have always spoken about and I still beleive almost anyone would struggle to get he same results they have/do.

sorry, but unless he is running 2x32mm intake restrictors and is therefore limited to about 250awkw, he has ignored the most important IPRA regulation - the one that makes it almost impossible to be competitive.

Twin Turbos are stuck with 2x 27mm restrictors.

Can win with restrictors.

Yes 27mm they are :D

I ran with Lofty in the BSM GTR's and the record's speak for themselves regarding IPRA.

I don't think his Eastern Creek lap record will ever be broken and his record will stand at Oran when it shuts ;)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
