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 !! :(

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
