I love living 5 minutes from willowbank. ShaneF and i meandered out to the testntune night and were fortunate to watch Mark in the Godzilla 32 run a blistering 8.69 at 158 mph on mickey T street radials.

If i am not mistaken that makes it the quickest class run in the country. The car launched hard and stuck at every shift point.

Congrats to all involved. :cheers::down: :sorcerer:

thanks guys... first outing with the new liberty gearbox....

3rd run of the night 8.695 at 158.95mph with a 1.351 60ft on mt 255-16 radials.

makes it fastest gtr in aus on street tyres and 2nd fastest in the world behind the vielside r32 gtr

which ran 8.62 i think....

thanks to all the guys who helped with the build... :cheers::down:

Bugger, almost makes me wish I didn't take the boat out on the river for the fireworks.

Noel, keep me posted for the next outing mate.

Next Sunday geoff, testntune for the nats. along with marks ride there should be a top quality field getting ready for the big go.

not sure what tyres the nz car ran 8.55 on... if they were et streets they are not a radail tyre. if they are radials we have a target for the australian nationals . 8.54 or better...ha ha

I can't remember what tires the Croydens R32 was running when it was there, but it was done using an H-pattern box too - and they were definitely some kind of DOT approved tyre. I have it in my head a UAE R32 GT-R built by Sub Zero did something like an 8.2 or 8.3 on DOT tires as well?

Either way, an 8s run in ANY form with a 4WD is absolutely nuts, well done - thats awesome news. The 8s GTR club is a very exclusive one :D

Can anyone confirm if these times are still current? Does the Croydon time still stand?

WD drag records (on street tyres):

I think both Croydon's and Reese (as well as Suckling's car) were all running Holiger sequentials.

Actually I think you are sortof right, the Croyden's GTR WAS a Hollinger sequential - I got my wires crossed, Glenn Sucklings OWN R32 GTR was a manually shifted Hollinger box - running full drag slicks though. The fastest manually shifted GTR I believe, think thats how I got confused.

Nah, nobody buys a H pattern Holiger.

"It also has a Holinger sequential 6 speed gearbox with custom GDS Motorsport ratios which is also modified in conjunction with Holinger. In it’s current guise it is 5 speed"

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
