they are here...car just ran 7.96 @ 176.6 MPH...full report on the run to come
right...the 60' was 1.27 so up there but not quite a PB. Mark hit the limiter in 1st so even quicker times are on the cards in the finals tomm. Car was gunbarrel straight and in the groove the whole run with a 1/2 track MPH of 141. MPH shows 7.80's are achieveable in the eliminators tomm.

This makes the car the 3rd fastest GTR in the world and the quickest 2.6ltr RB 26 in the world.

Awesome!! Congrat guys!!

any video yet of the pass??? The passes we saw at wsid the other week were good, but i'd love to see it shooting off in a straight line and not wanting to wander!!

Mark backed it up with a 7.97 @ 163mph again today.

The car was all over the track on this run and about 40mtrs before the line the crank angle sensor shat itself, hence the low MPH. Was a low 7.80 pass and was looking like a 180 MPH TS. Car was towed back to the pits and is yet to be assesed. Big backfire and no boost at the end of the run when it happened so it must have damaged something.

but a highly sucessful weekend anyway with back to back 7.90's

Great stuff! Being the quickest RB26 in the world is definitely something to brag about. :thumbsup:

Yeah, if they can go a little quicker they will be able to too :D The mid/high 7s RWD Sentra from the States is still 2.6

How much sentra is left tho?

Congrats to Mark and godzilla doing us proud :thumbsup:

It takes nothing at all from Mark and crews achievement due to it being a drag chassis but it still doesn't change that the car was running a rb26 so no one can claim faster rb26 until they beat its time.

I would be extremly surprised if the Sentra was running a stock stroke crank and STD 86mm bore.

Mark's crank is a straight out of the box Nissan R33 item, and the engine was built by himself, Justin and Harry overnight after a failure during qualifing, and backed up the next day to run 8.274 to knock Croydon out of top spot in Aust. What an effort!

Still the fastest RB26 GTR whatever the overpowered American hairdresser's car ran.

Why would you be surprised? I would be surprised if Mark's car was running the stock stroke crank if I didn't know the car. And the bore, well, I doubt anyone runs the stock bore any more. lol

I didn't know there was a record for std bore as well!

well extremely surprised is an understatement...im gobsmacked :thumbsup:

this is some of the parts claimed to be used in the Sentra...

stock block

stock connecting rods

stock pistons

stock head gasket

stock cylinder head

stock cams

stock cam gears

stock timing belt

stock crank

stock intake manifold(slightly modified)

Why is the rest of the world spending $20K+ building tough race long engines...the 'seppo's' are running high 7's with a long engine you can pick up in a wrecking yard!

Adrian you know more than anyone that drag racers have records for everything :D

GTR World Record Run.

The car IS running an RB26DETT, but certainly not stock....

Yeah I wasn't going to say it, but its certainly true. 2.6litres is certainly very very impressive though given its not the original engine spec, the fact that its not rounded to 2.7, 2.8 or whatever litres is pretty academic. I personally wouldn't want to taint the sheer awesomeness of the achievement Mark and crew have done by making up world records for it when the short of it is it is one of 3 GTRs in the world who have managed a 7 after years and years of top tuners and big spenders making huge efforts to do so.

Its an epic achievement and its clear that it could still go faster. Top effort guys :)

Great news that you managed to back the 7 sec run up guys :cheers:

I have no idea how long or when the season runs over in Aus - have you got many more chances to get back out again to drop it further?.

As others have said you join a very very very special list of cars & you must be over the moon that all the years, blood sweat & tears & all of the hard earned expense now seem well rewarded.

We will bust our guts to try & get our car to join you in the club this year but no guarantees.

Would love to see a huge worldwide event in the future say 2010 where all the cars come together for a weekend - would be incredible.

Hope you enjoy a few beers !! :(

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
