raps86 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It was good to see the gtr's racing around the mount and to see the first aussie delivered gtr racing around the mount was good. Im cofused with sum of the entrant numbers but as in the sdrive bathurst part the number 26 was on a 32 gtr that raced at superlap and not on a 997 gt3. And congrats to michael taylor for doin a 2.47 in the r35 for its first outing and on street tyres around the mount. nope i got the right as ive had a few drinks between seeing it and typing this Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/248872-one-more-time-r32-gtr/#findComment-4316951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FineLine Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The 32 was parked up at mark and russ's joint Roy. Maybe the new owner gave them the green light to hang another scalp from its belt. The 33 ran at time attack a few days back and even at this early stage was only a cuppla secs away from the fully developed 32. It augers well for the future of the 33 for sure. Its an amazing car to watch. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/248872-one-more-time-r32-gtr/#findComment-4317391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxkilla Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 wow massive QLD result. Top 3 regular TimeAttack QLD drivers! Great result for Mark Rayner to pip Cam Dyal. ! last time I spoke to Russ at TimeAttack, they was hoping to take the R33GTR? Not sure if that result is the R33 or R32 (I doubt R32) R32 GTR is in someone else's hands but the car lives in brissie still. killed a gearbox the saturday before timeattack at qr i think??? thats what i heard down the grapevine?

EVO Cam Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 wow massive QLD result. Top 3 regular TimeAttack QLD drivers! Great result for Mark Rayner to pip Cam Dyal. !last time I spoke to Russ at TimeAttack, they was hoping to take the R33GTR? Not sure if that result is the R33 or R32 (I doubt R32) R32 GTR is in someone else's hands but the car lives in brissie still. killed a gearbox the saturday before timeattack at qr i think??? thats what i heard down the grapevine? Go the Qlders, & ALL 1st timers at the track too, just for good measure! Well done to Mark & Russ on a fantastic result, well deserved, especially considering the car was in 2wd mode! Great performance by Mark Rayner also to dip into the 29's on semi's. Considering there is 4 to 5 seconds in slicks, it would have been very interesting to see what times he would have got down to. Next year we'll see, that's for sure. Unfortunately I could not run my good engine for the event, so I swapped back to my old 2 litre engine which was only good for 259kw's on pump, so I was very happy to get down to the time I did on a handful of dry laps. It was not fun seeing another Evo pull away from me on every straight I tell you!!!!!

giant Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 yeah well done to Mark B, Mark R & Cam, bloody good driving given the conditions ( lots of rain) , which really limited any learning the track time with good grip! especially as EVO Cam and ourselves had mechanical trouble which meant even less laps. It was a good weekend and absolutely fantastic fun,& the most amazing track you could ever imagine driving , i thought! it was the r33 that we took down for it first real race debut, which was a mission to get even half right, the car got one session friday and managed a 2.20 which we were happy with given it was Mark's first time on track! but the car was handling very poorly , it was trying to change lanes on it's own when pushed and swap ends over the high speed bumps on the crests. Then Saturday the front diff and housing assembly parted company with the sump and the top of the hill just after skyline with me in it ( my one and only drive of it two laps in), so we decided to take the whole lot out and run it in rear wheel drive for Sunday. attached is a lap incar from yesterday with rear drive only, you maybe able to make out the whole car trying to bounce sideways from the shit suspension uprights and standard bushes still in the car. he couldnt hold it flat over the crests on either straight as it just wanted to bounce of the track! it is a credit to Mark to drive it so fast handling sp poorly like that! http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6opg6Mdt0 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/248872-one-more-time-r32-gtr/#findComment-4319411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I so want that car more then ever now. Awesome in car vid of an awesome driver/car combo! I wonder how mnay years i will have to slave away in developign countris to affors your asking price So first time out i know it would be hard to say, but do you think the R33 could ultimately be as fast/faster then the R32?

Roy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Watching that vid for about the 5th time it seems the R33 requires a lot less lock then your old R32. It seems to point better with less push, is that just luck of the draw, setup or somehting you commented about the setup that you are looking to change?

Beer Baron Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 don't worry troy. i keep putting the hard word on russ for ya, and I promise I wont let him sell the 33 to anyone else! it's right up your alley I reckon. anyway, it was a top effort by both mark and hollywood. you did pretty well for a bloke with no talent russ! putting around in that little evo. there would be a few blokes behind you that wouldn't believe you if you told them how little money is the total spend on your evo... especially when they probably spent more on wheels and tyres for their GT3 Cup Car than you did on the whole shebang!
