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?

cool, the more GTR here the better

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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
