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 :)

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.

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? :P

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!!!!!

Cheers Cam

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!

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?

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!

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
