great work...were you not the same guy i was chatting to in the staging lanes?? thats why i called out to you...and yes...i was pretty stoked.

That was me yeah when i spoke to you you told me you were hoping for a 9 second pass,you need to give me some launch and gear change pointers so i can get my 10 :) , i ended up running a PB of 11.093 with it missfiring in third and 4th, went over line at 126.?? mph.

Hi congrats on that blistering quick time considering the problems you had on the night, i am modifying my R32GTR extensively as of late and would like to know if you dont mind what sort of power or torque are you making to achieve that time please.

This will give me a realistic understanding of what sort of power is required to obtain certain time figures there abouts.

Good luck i also are retaining the low mounts good tuning and right mods with this set up can make fantastic times for sure.

Cheers,

Dave.

450-500 kw and 5000rpm of peak torque should see you in the ballpark.

good luck with your build.

Fantastic effort & by the sounds of things long overdue - you must delighted mate & great reward for all your effort :P

Time for the RH9 stickers to be applied :D

Well done guys, gone are the days when you had to absolutaly ring its neck for a 10.3, now it runs close to that on a back off. It is well deserved, all your patience and effort have payed off. up 4 another Queensland trip?

PS. Hope is all well with your new addition also.

Car has been off the road for the last 18 months while parts were bought...ideas were thrown around...and the engine was assembled...so yes it has been a while...but worth waiting for.

I didn't set myself the goal of running nine's on low mounts because it was easy...i did it because it was hard. The harder a goal is to achieve, the larger the reward and satisfaction is when its obtained.

And i did it just the way i wanted to...No slicks...No NOS...No dog box...No big $$ engine management.

The RH9 stickers were applied in the pits on Wednesday night before we loaded the car to go home.

well done mate on your 9 sec pass.

put some more boost on board and im sure you will run 9.2 s and run with theo....

cheers. mark

I can't think of a worse fate, Mark!!

Way to go, Pauly! Low mounts, 9's and actually finishing a pass/meeting. So few GTR's that do that these days!

NICE!

At least when my car has problems i can actually get in and fix it and get back on the track.

Hey remember the time i actually replaced a smashed gearset in a gearbox out behind the pits just so i could keep competing...now thats commitment....or is it MADNESS!!

At least i dont smash holes in my engine, have a massive tanty dummy spit and go home looking like an absolute tool.

That effort at Powercruise 3 was outstanding. Big shout out to Macca from Steve's Speed Shop for kickin in as well!! :thumbsup:

Your last statement is spoken like someone who knows better than to get involved with tools.

Dirt Garage for the win!

I just understand that the sport is so much bigger than me...others think they are bigger than the sport! If your not enjoying your racing its time to look at doing something else...at the moment im having a blast!

And oh yes ill never forget how Macca spent some quality time with me under "twoogle's" belly that day. The list of people who have been willing to give their time and expertise to help us out since we started racing is quite extensive and we thank all of you for the effort you have made for us.

Not bad Paul although you still haven't beaten my mile an hour 139.67mph. Keep trying. You front diff boys grabbing the road and throwing it behind.

It seems that less really is more in this situation, John. :w00t:

to run "only" 10.7 with that MPH is nothing to brag about. :D

that was my first run with a lowly 25psi. Got quite a bit left up my sleeve...ill run a whole second quicker than you with your MPH.... hahaha!!

    • 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.
