Very very very very nice! Good consistant times there, love hearing about it - it was driving me crazy that all the reports of the Jamboree I heard didn't include your times even though it appeared you were there. What tyres are you running on it these days? I know you got very fast on the drag radials but not sure at what point (if?) you went to a full slick.

congratulations to you and your team as it sounds like you were all busy. Nothing like putting in the hard yards and beeing rewarded with numbers like those. not sure if many people can appreciate whats involved in getting a car to be that fast and also consistent like you have your car running know. big well done.

Congrats on the huge effort Mark resetting the benchmark all the time will be great to see you claim the world record mate. Doing all ozzy GTR fans proud.

Haha I am in a bit of a pickle here, I love seeing these guys go quicker but between the fact I have watched Reece McGregor gradually go faster since 1998 and the fact that Heat Treatments are from NZ I feel a certain amount of compulsion to cheer them on too - so I'll keep cheering, but quietly hope the 7.57s mark doesn't get cracked until HT are racing again haha.

Lith, if the record gets bashed by Mark, that will spur the HT boys on even more. It's great when records get broken and the recordholder is still in the game.

Very true, actually. Best of both worlds!! Either way, Mark's car as clearly well up to the task of giving the HT lads a good run for their money in a race - he's gone quicker than the HKS R33 could do on Willowbank. If there is ever going to be an event with both there, I will travel to see it!

that would be nice to see side by side 7 sec passes....world first for gtr fans...

we are very happy with our progress with the car but still have a way to go the 7.5s but we now have the power on board to run 7.5 just need to tame it down of the start line and get the 60ft times down to low 1.2s ...

our next meeting is the spring top fuel event about 3 weeks i think... should be great...

cheers, mark

Best of luck for that, and yes - can see that the power is up there by the way the car wiggles around at half track... all HT's faster runs the car looks like it wants to check things out on the sides of the track, probably does near half a km on some passes haha. There are some people in the UK doing mid/low 8s who seem to think the only thing holding them back from running 7s now is adding the power - I'd love to know what its like in the car when you are getting down the strip but from the safety of the side of the track it looks like the whole run gets a lot more dicey as you start trying to push the thing down the strip in under 8s.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
