These are the latest results from Superlap Australia @ Eastern Creek International Raceway in Sydney TODAY.

The Sierra Sierra Evo clocked a time of 1:32.2480.

Now the fastes ever lap time at Eastern Creek International Raceway in a V8 supercar was by Mark Skaife in a VT Commodore 1:31.7301.

The Hi-Octane R34 GTR is yet to set a lap time but my guess is it will be around the lap time of the Sierra Sierra Evo, if not a little slower due to traction issues.

Now if we look at this properly, the fastest lap time in a V8 supercar was set around ~10years ago, and the time-attack cars of today can not keep up with the V8 supercar's times.

That pretty much proves that a V8 Supercar would absolutely smash a GTR Skyline around a racetrack, regardless of whether its something small like Barbagello's of long and flowing like Bathurst!

.... and yet you missed the part where I said that the race prepped R32 GTR that skaife himself drove around bathurst, and drove again recently around bathurst, was only 3 seconds slower than the quallifying speeds of the V8 supercars of today. The car is 20 years old and STILL pretty much a match for the V8 supercars. Put that money into an 34R and I have no doubts that it would be closer.

At the end of the day, the current V8 supercars will be faster than a car such as the Mines R34 GTR Skyline.

HOWEVER, I do agree that if a team with proper engineers and real funding was to spend as much time, money & testing on a GTR as the current teams do on their V8 Supercars, then yes i agree that a GTR would be a good match for the V8's.

Yeah, the comparison between the MINES GTR and the V8 was always going to fail, it has to be fully funded race prepped 34R vs fully race prepped V8 Supercar to be a proper comparison. However doesn't look like we'd be able to see them on a track together anytime soon :P Such a shame...

a good comparison is the GT3 porsche , i think this would be a similar lap time to a full on GTR 34 given the r35 is slightly faster than a GT3, is this a fair comment . GT3 best lap can do a lap of Mallala in 1.14 secs and greg murphy commodore v8 supercar in 1.08 .

I was at the Eastern Creek World Time Attack, there was the High Octane R34 GTR that did a lap time of 1:34.1090 and a Mal Rose Racing Holden Commodore with a lap time of 1:39.3230.

Fair to say both cars were in the same pro class with a 5secs difference, so I would naturally think a modified R34 GTR is a faster car around a track than a modifed V8 Holden.

I have not mentioned the CyberEvo present at the event took the 1st place with a lap time of 1:30.5870, could potentially done a 1:29 but did not due to near blown engine which they tried to fix overnight nonetheless still managed to win the pro class event.

Not sure if you guys know, but the CyberEvo does laps around Tsukuba track in Japan in the 54secs range similar to that of the MSpeed R34 GTR, so we can pretty much use the CyberEvo lap times around Eastern Creek and compare that to the Mal Rose Holden Commodore, meaning a near 9 seconds difference.

Stock R34 GTR vs V8 Supercar, thats not even fair to even compare.

Modified R34 GTR vs Modified V8 Holden, as above R34 GTR clearly is faster.

GT500 R34 GTR vs V8 Supercar, I wouldn't have a clue but my money is on the GT500 R34 GTR

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
