Aussie superbikes can get up to 280 on that back straight.... rubys Brutale could easily do that 225...

-D

The Brutale is not set up for track use, so no way could it do even 215kph thru the kink. The GSXR can, but not the Brute. The Brute could only honestly handle 195-200kph before it would 'wallow' thru the turn. My GSXR is better set up for cornering at higher speeds. I don't think even the superbikes can do over 240kph thru the kink.

Fact of the matter is cars and bikes accelerate and corner differently. i just made a smart arse comment about bikes vs cars thru the kink, and now its turning into a fight for ownership of turn 4. Meh, I know what my GSXR can do, I'll leave it at that.

:O

Attached is a download of the cars 1:15.60 second lap of Mallala :)

I was just looking at the data/graphs from my Performance box (of the laps in my car) and the first obvious difference (besides the speed and the lap time) is how smooth the R35 speed line is which shows the beauty of the gearbox - no deccelaeration when changing gears

What do you guys think of this matte gold R35GTR in Dubai? If we are lucky Munro will spot it while he is there next week and get some more photos!

I like it a lot!

Thats the beauty of the GR6 transmission Mitric. We have some tricks to improve the transmission performance before nex time out :)

As well as adding some Proxes R888 20 inch tyres and competition brake pads. These modifications should hopefully net another 1.5 seconds or so a lap....now we have to do some more work to speed up Mitric, Munro, and of course RH9 (However I have Tilbrook on that one as we speak) :)

when will u guys be out next?

I am here now, have not seen a gtr yet but have seen an enzo on the back of a truck & heaps of mercs & land rovers everywhere. Steering wheel on the wrong side takes a bit of getting used to! Hot & muggy as hell.

I have had a lot of fun taking my street GTR out to mallala but am quite happy with 1 min 17.6 & will now concentrate on getting my other race GTR ready & see what that can do with similar power but 400kg less weight.

Will try to get out to the Dubai Autodrome tomorrow to have a look at a different racetrack.

Well Munro we are in the throes of putting together a couple of ground up builds on a pair of matching 850hp R33 and R34 GTRs currently. Adding your other 'race GTR' to the mix would be as simple as you bringing it on down....then we can go hunt it at Mallala :P

Care to throw a R32 gtr in the mix that runs a lazy 1:17 at Mallala on stuffed tyres and worn out coilovers????

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
