Results?

[wrxkilla]

i heard the R35 GTR ran 11.1 @ 125 mph!

and I heard Mark Jacobsen ran 8.0 @ 171 mph using 500m of track! lol

[benm]

Marks runs were:

10.6

8.1 w/ 1.32sec 60ft

10.7 w/ 1.23 60ft

8.07 @ 171mph w/ 1.25sec 60ft

Had the track have been 10c warmer and the surface prep been better the car would have run a comfortable 7.9 possibly even a high 7.8sec pass.

Videos were taken, im sure they will be posted sometime tomorrow.

good to see mark finally taking some weight out of the car!

[2rismo]

a 1.23 sixty with Mark's usual MPH is a 7.8x pass. Car sounded nuts all weekend!

and a 3.3 to the 330 was big too. Unfortunately the track past the 330 was lacking as it was from this point onwards the car was out of shape. Spinning the rears in top gear to 170MPH and no lift off from throttle when we checked the MoTeC data...i don't know if that was brave or silly...but it was worth it.

Big thanks from all the GMS crew to Benm for supplying and operating the recovery vehicle for us all day.

I was going to ask if that was Bens shaggon waggon

[NXTIME]

I'm sure Ben has pitched a few tents in the back of that thing...

News on our car...

Got diff in and running friday....put Autronic in and had a few problems getting it running. Finally got it sorted late Saturday afternoon and tuned. The ATTESSA ecu was not recieving the correct signals from the Autronic to run the 4WD. We tried bridging over a TPS signal and lost the bloody tune!! The Autronic went bonkers and took an hour to recover it. Mark retuned the car in about an hour and by midnight had it running and making good power. We again got out the wiring diagrams and found that the earlier bridge we ran was on the wrong pin...bugger. Got the TPS signal to the ATTESSA and the 4WD came alive. However the output was making the TPS ecu input unstable and we decided at 2.30am to pack it up and concentrate our efforts on Marks car. Deciding that running the car while not 100% was not worth risking the chance of damaging it...so yes with only a few hours sleep that night we rocked up and set a new Aussie GTR record.

According to my mate in the white swift who was racing Mark it was forking awesome! He was nearly as excited about the GTR going past him like he was standing still as he was his 12.88.

I'll post the footage tonite. It's pretty funny to see the camera focused on the street-tyred Swift and then this black thing just screams past it out of nowhere taking up all the track and then some as it disappears into the distance.

can you please ring him and thank him, as if it wasnt for him agreeing to the lane swap the 8.0 would not have happened. I was doing 2rismo stlye organising behind the staging lanes as the official behind the tower would not allow us into the lane we wanted.

He mentioned that he'd agreed to swap lanes and I told him that having run an 8.0, Mark would be very appreciative. He's a good guy, young Paulie. He'll be king of the kids in GTi land.
