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

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
