no...went to the track and ran 12.4 and 12.2 and then finally ran a respectable time of 10.6

Im still the only RH9 car Croydon racing has ever produced (well i built the car, and they did the engine and tuning)

Id really like to have a drive :D

it runs a hollinger seqential and ran slicks to achieve the 10.6, so even if it did run a 9 it still would not be classified RH9 as you have to run on radials.

I prefer to run the numbers before i even entertain the thought of talking up the times...but to each their own i suppose.

didnt it have twin 3040 turbs on it when it did 1000+hp at the treads???

Funny as hell, i have the same internal mods except it is a trust 2.7 kit and 280 cams in/ex with tilton triple and cusco diffs oh and 3037s twins...

yeh i didnt think that it had run the time, just goes to show that just because you have the power doesnt mean that you will run fast times

what was the story with the runs??? couldnt get the power down? bad launches? bad driver?

I also thought it had twin 3540's and an Apexi twin entry 150mm cooler.

The car definitely has all the gear to run the times very easily...it's just a matter of getting it down the track. At Compak Attak it was the driver's first attempt at racing the car and it was done (erroneously) using full slicks. A 10.6 with 145+MPH TS means that the car has the potential to run well into the 9's.

didnt it have twin 3040 turbs on it when it did 1000+hp at the treads???

yeah...it then made 1100hp with the T88-38GK

it may have been John's first time at the track with THIS car...but he's got more runs under his belt than most (previously ran a R32 GTR into the mid 10's as well)

i see the massive brembos have been ditched, possibly to accomodate a smaller wheel for the track?

that photo is over 2 years old...Dario's ute is in the background and its been back on the road for over 18 months

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
