does anyone know what mods the winfield gtr had?

It would be easier to make a list of the things that weren't modified, I reckon. After seeing just a small damaged part off this car recently, I'd safely say no stone was left unturned. Beautiful no expense spared engineering! :worship:

Some info & vids here; http://www.skylinesa...d/page__st__360

But just the tip of the iceberg surely.

Well doing some research On the bathurst track i seen that 2:12min was the record for a R32 GTR back in 91/92 I think i saw tat a stock R35 did it in 2.25min.

records for v8s are:

The lap record for the race is the 2:08.4651 recorded by Jamie Whincup in his Ford BF Falcon in 2007,[1] not to be confused with the fastest lap ever recorded, a 2:06.8012 set during practice in 2010 by Holden driver Craig Lowndes.[2]

But i wonder with all the new technology now modding an r32 GTR would even challenge todays v8 Supercars.. AMAZING

its funny this thread was revived as i had the exact same conversation with my brother last night!

thanks for the lap time info, just what i need :)

You must be talking only v8 supercabs for outright record.

I was at Bathurst for this, and the record belongs to F1;

geez stevo - thanks for sharing, what a clip! the camera could only keep up with its zoom haha

I still remember Carlings 300ZX kicking butt at Gold Coast Indy all those years ago. Was a real shame Kayne Scotts Peanut Slab Sierra got caught up in shipping and didnt qualify and had to start from the back of the grid. Would have been great to see those cars go head to head.

Mind you no disrespect to Keith, but I suspect he needed a little more car to get the job done vs Kayne who I think was a better steerer

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
