Mark Jacobsen and the team at Godzilla Motorsport today rasied the benchmark in this country for tough high horsepower GTR's. In the "Power Championship" at Autosalon final battle in Sydney today the car made a staggering 911 AWKW on its first run then backed up that figure and made another 20AWKW more...YES 931 AWKW!!!

The car was run with the factory ATTESSA to control torque split and i viewed the data with Todd from Mainline after the runs and it had a 65% rear 35% front split...no games here.

This is the highest power figure recorded in this country for a GTR under competition conditions. So not only does Mark have the fastest GTR in this country come out of his workshop but also officially the most powerful as well.

top stuff guys.

Great effort for mark on getting rh9 to that point and hopefully can go further with it in the future. unfortunaly i missed its run but i bet it took a few people by suprise.

John is very keen to race the car soon, and with our car ready by the end of next week it wont be long before Godzilla's new 'recruits' hit the strip.

I was right there when it made 931AWKW , not only that it was running the dyno at the SAME TIME as Gas Motorsports

GASR34 which made 900 and sumthinthin awkw, just narrowly missing out. It was so insane watching both at the same time. top job

oh and at the end of saturday dyno, watching NUR and upb33t ( i think it was called) was awesome.

Wow, watching that must have been better than being in bed with all the pussycat dolls at once.......na not that good but close.

Both would sound amazing; ask the hairs on the back of my neck.

Amazing achievement for the rb26!!!!!

thanks to a nice friend of mine i got to sneak out the back n have a look see and watch from behind...was mental.

still rekcon the day before when it ran with gasR34 at the same time was crazy.

paul...has it actually ran a time at the strip lately?????

Great result without a doubt, things have come leagues in the last few years when 500rwkw was a lot, now look!

However take the damn RH9 off the car, its a disgrace to everything that is RH9. For Shame

Has the car run down the quarter yet?

with that much power, fat tyres and a bit of nitrous to get on boost faster im sure it will pull a 9 point something.

Also i wonder how much actual money has gone into that car? 100k maybe

Stunning number for sure. Cant help but wonder why this one is stamped as legit tho when Uras' effort was shitcanned.

Whats the difference between Mark's dyno and the the Uras machine.

1/4 mile speeds will tell the full story I guess.

either way its a huge number. congrats to all involved.

This was not on Marks dyno, lets get that clear.

These dyno's are independently run by Mainline and are operated under strict competition conditions. The power figures obtained at each event can be compared against each other. Trents firgure was obtained on a hub dyno behind closed doors at his workshop. When HE said we should wait to see what it makes at Autosalon and it struggled to make 450kw...it was, as you put it... 'shitcanned'. If you can't back up your claims under independent testing conditions they are simply that...claims, nothing more. My MPH figures always backed up the power my car made at autosalon, they are carefully calibrated units and are expertly run by Todd and the team from Mainline.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
