Croydon Racing Developments in Sydney are now the owners of the GReddy new GTR demo car that was on display at Toykyo Auto Salon.

It arrived at their shop less than an hour ago and we were invited down to get the first pics and video footage. Croydon are Australia's first GReddy "Pro" dealer and the new GTR was aquired to help develop new parts and software and help them stay at the forefront of GTR development

We will be exclusively filming the car during its development. We will be filming it get dynoed over the weekend behind closed doors and it will be going to WSID next week on Wednesday night to run some numbers! Croydon will also be bringing GTR700 and DEVLISH out of retirement very soon and Ignition will be there to capture all the action. Enjoy these first few pics, there are more to come.

so this car is sold to CRD? not just a loan or display or whatever?

yeh not that it's a big deal or anything but does aquired mean it's a loaner ?

Strange...

Why would GReddy do a thing like that? I just cant see them farming out their own developed vehicle to Australia. Stay at the front of GTR development? Considering Australia doesnt even have official shipments yet and wont for a long time yet, the only forefront of official development will be happening here, in Japan.

So i would argue, GReddy will be farming out performance upgrades that have been "developed" in Japan, not Australia.

And since when was CAS a developer? They "stock" "developed" parts from Japan, lol.

Oh and the graphics on that car are hideous. If they did get that car i hope they also got a discount! :wub:

Don't think crd would "own" it, so would be interesting to see how much "development" the Japs will allow CRD to do...

Hope they do something special with it... :P

My point exactly. As Sewid has already said, there are very few upgrades for the GTR yet and that even in Japan, so where this "development" is going to come from in Australia is something id love to know. Besides, what is available atm is limited to one off body kits, in their production infancy, exhaust systems, interior changes and ECU upgrades and thats about it. The OP has made some pretty big claims on behalf of CRD and id like to know more about them.

If indeed GReddy Japan has sold the car to CRD, i would be mightily surprised, all things considered.

there are virtually no upgrades for the GTR yet, so where this "development" is going to come from

CRD having a poke around the new platform's chassis and power/drivetrain is already putting them ahead of the other Oz tuners. They'll have more direction in part development and tuning just by having it on hand IMO.

CRD appear to be pretty khuneckted :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
