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"

    • 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>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
