Team Cowie - 12.474 seconds!!

At TOTB we broke the 4wd 0-300kph time held by Veilside Japan there time was 13s and we set a new record going from 0-300 kph in 12.474sec.

I took it all the way to over 200mph here is some of the data taken from the timing gear.

0-30 1.226

0-60 2.539

0-100 4.346

0-150 8.085

0-200 14.751

Some photos just before we took the Veilside 0-300 record.

ummm didnt the veilside car do it on nittos?

You've got to be kidding me?!?!?

This is an OUTRIGHT record. How can it be any clearer than that?!?! Besides, slicks do VERY little to improve how fast you can reach a particular terminal speed.

So the fact that the Heat Treatments GTR reached 300kph in under 7.6s isn't taken as a record because it wasn't targetting 0-300kph?

Very nice good to see the old R32s still getting publicity :thanks:

so fastest 1/4 mile street and drag, fastest 0-300 oh yeah :)

For the dude above, the Veilside car was an R34, did it over here in NZ, just below Taupo, think the same year a Porsche crashed spectacularly on the same circuit :)

GTR:

Couldn't find the porsche crash though :down:

yeh the one im talking about was the grey R32, 13.72 was the time beer baron, dont think it was on slicks when it did it and had a strange miss-fire halfway through second.

and i think slicks would make a differnce as to how quick you reach a certain speed, 0-300 is a timed event, slicks = less time wheel spinning, and more time on the power, means you get to that speed in less time. unless you want to get into maths/physics with rolling resistance at higher speed etc, i really cant see how it wouldnt make a difference

i know you like your drag racing, go run on a set of $30 retreads vs some real good tyres. 0-300 is basically the same format as drag racing, just with a different goal

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
