Is There A New Worlds Fastest Low Mount Gtr?

[shanef]

ahh yeh not bad....

when u posted last week u were heading out last nite i said i wouldnt miss it for anything, but looks like my memoery fails me yet again

any videos at all???

P.S massive congrats, goes to show how good a steerer mark really is

[7heavn]

How much power is the car making now and also other then the gearbox what are drivetrain mod's have been performed?.

[9krpm]

Actually, they don't have to back it up at all. A back up run is only required for official SCG/ANDRA championship rounds and is only for faststes ET and/or TS in the class.

However, in drag lists such as Hi Performance and any other unofficial category, it is the 6th fastest GTR on radials.

Well done again

MoTeC ECU?

woohoo that is a great new

So that means we have the fastest low mount gtr

That time slip is fast from the 60" time to the end!

Congrats guys.

[giant]

hey guys

Sarah my wife is kicking herself for not coming out to watch! (so no vid as she does the videoing)

just a few other spec's as asked

the car is making about 450/460kw at all four, i have never had it on another dyno except the one in japan, so not sure what it would read on another was 800ps at all four in japan though !!....lol (i dont think so)

ecu is autronic, with autronic cdi also

tailshaft is a one piece carbon

clutch is an NPC clutch same as mark jacobson ( awsome clutch we generally get the whole year out of it, then just rebuild it)

rear diff is stock

front diff is cusco

transfer case is stock (have not rebuilt it since we put it in four years ago!!)

all drive shafts are stock

mark did drive it real well , i can tell you right now i would not have got that time.

cheers russ

Massive effort, guys. Congrats on the time. It's certainly set a new mark for the low-mount crowd (limited in numbers as that group is). This is truly one of the most versatile race GTR's ever.

FLoppin impressive. Booted it into the 9's. I was at the WSID same night with the cardi camp and at the time I was impressed with my mate Rn ( Wizard ) in his ZedTT PB 12.009 and 60foot 1.577 Street ET tyres and 12 zeds all up there. Then I get the SMS from Russ. WOW. Raised the bar again.

What records is this, must be one or two?

Congratulations Russ! Well done on the achievement, proves that low mounts can be a serious "giant" killer excuse the pun. Good luck with the car in the upcoming rounds and i would reconsider selling it. Best package around at the moment...

[dmac_25]

BTW i certainly don't want to sound cocky or anything as Pauls effort's in drag racing are outstanding and a credit to him and so is his car.

i am just really happy we cracked into the 9's with good speed!!

and yeah Roy it was a real buzz.

basic specs are

GCG garret's equivelant to 2530's

2.6 ltr with tomie crank,

gt block,

cleaned up standard rb26 exhaust manifolds,

6 throttle hypertune plenum

ppg dog box

full exhaust (wasnt even running the side pipe)

I didnt know you guys were running the standards cleaned up i was thinking of going this path with GT-RS, 28-35's or 25-40's on my GTR.

Well done wasnt the best before that a 10.1 at the dutton??

[wrxkilla]

PHENOMINAL! HUGE CONGRATS FELLAS

Truly awesome GTR. One of the best all time. Destroys on the circuit, tarmac rally and the drags!

who wants a 9 second circuit car!!! YES PLEASE!!!

[Lithium]

Awesome congrats! Great to see a track car doing it on the 1/4 too.

big single is on it now...ahh well good to see it was an Aussie and not a bloody kiwi.

Yeah I don't see a "bloody kiwi" cutting it either, I think "Drag GTR" is about as made up class specific as most are really bothered in going for. I get rumour that the Japanese are starting to rediscover the fun that is drag racing, I reckon the M-Speed GTR could be a serious contender to it if they took that down the 1/4.

Also in regards to the 800ps claim, the video on Ignition I saw looked like it had two figures, one which was under 700ps and one which was ~800ps - I assumed that the 800ps was a "corrected figure" to estimate engine ps though I could be completely wrong.

bloody kiwi's held the record for some time...Arthur Eyre from RE Sinclair.

LOL Thats right, that was amusing - I think he could be blamed for making that up now that I think about it. I guess its nice to think you've done something better than everyone else with a similar kind of setup.

Yeah i think its a bit like 'who can do the most with the least' type situation.

a bit like the rotary boys with their 'untubbed rotary' class.

ahh well it doesn't matter to us now who does what, now the record has been broken...we were the first in the world to do it (run a 9)

if ANDRA rules allowed us to run 140+ without a chute we would have gone faster as i was holding 3rd gear at the end of the run to keep it under 140.

Russ...you could have ran a 9 too...aparantly anyone can go fast in a straight line...have you sold it? I heard a rumour there was serious interest north of you guys.

Well done on the 9s run, just looking at your spec a pair of 2530s only produce 650hp or am I missing a trick?

I was looking for the biggest output low mounts for my car and DCD recommend -10 GT2860R - (2540s) without going custom.

Haha there was a huge thread on a GTR UK forum about this, people saying flat that either its not running the GT2860-5s, its running nitrous as well, or it never ran the time because its impossible on those turbos. With race gas, a good setup, and good tuning its clearly possible

FYI, there is no such thing as GT2860-10s, its a name given to GT2871Rs which can be "bolton on" by someone who doesn't get it in my opinion. By Garretts own naming the "60" part of GT2860 refers to the exducer size of the compressor wheel, which with the "-10s" is 71mm. They're actually an equivalent of HKS GT-RSs (instead of GT2540s)... my best assumption is that some people call them GT2860-10s because the suffix of the part# is "-10" even though its a completely different family and also the fact that its a bolt on upgrade for the GTR and looks externally pretty similar.

They'd be a wicked turbo for a high-power low mount GTR, basically what DirtGarage has on his R32.

650 engine horsepower is enough to send something approaching 1400kg to that sort of mph so you're not missing anything mate. You're spot on.

[BezerkR32]

F#*!K, im confused, Gt2840s-10witha60rs is the same as Garrett GT2540rs+.05inducer-boost pressure.

The car is a circuit car and ran a nine second pass with two turbos bolted to the standard manifolds. simple. great effort, that would be fun to try and chase around corners. i obviously have to sharpen up on my turbochargers. i thought about bolting two on mine but i think now that i wont, might get the wrong ones. lol

[Kranker]

was just wondering what fuel you were running on?

98 or race fuel?

sorry if its been mentioned above...had a look and i couldnt see it anywhere

[Marko R1]

is this the same black r32 gtr that i saw on the ignition dvd, has the hi octane branding along the side?

if it is i watched this car do a hot lap about 10 times over which was recorded in japan, what a beautiful car

[Beer Baron]

yep, it's the same car.

kranker, the boys will confirm but I believe it was running sunoco fuel. which it turns out may not have been a benefit as it tends to go off once the drum is cracked open. you can visibly see, smell and feel the stuff is different after a while sitting.
