cool time HKS...

wow thats certainly a car that the Japs, kiwi's, pommies and aussies were unaware of and took a bit of digging to find. The Eyre time was widely regarded as the benchmark so it was that time we targeted. Even CRD's contacts in Japan including well known drag pilot who helped prep my car for the time Tomatsu Miyamae believed a 9 would be the worlds fastest. We actually researched it...we didn't just pull it from our arse and this car wasn't known of so we could only go off information that was available to us at the time.

i was going to put the lowies back on to beat the Hi-Octane time with a lighter better set-up car with the dog-box and NOS but now i don't think ill bother. I wont get near that time with the single high mount let alone de-powering it with the RS's

Ash my claim to fame is being married to Australia's Fastest and Quickest Female Sport compact drag racer ( a record that was set in 2004 and still stands today) and starring in the Jackie Chan film 'Mr Nice Guy'. No poo there. Do Russ and Mark have poo on there face because they are claiming it too?...does Arthur Eyre in NZ have it as well? i guess they do as you are the all knowing all seeing expert on all things. For Mark and i to run the times we have in cars that are basicly modified circuit and street cars respectively is still outstanding in anyones books except maybe yours. Please list your achievements....

Who knows the HKS car probably high mounted the turbo's anyway....lol

Just a few more points: this information wasn't "dug-up" - I just happened to come across it on the weekend and thought it was quite interesting as very very few people knew about it. It was actually posted on a website in December 2008, so it was definitely new information (despite being set back in 1995). I am sure this time was run on slicks and not radials, so both Paul and Mark's times will remain the quickest on radials. Any sub 10 second time no matter what set up is not an easy achievement and should be applauded.

HKS's different approach in actually using low mounts in a drag car (and racing it in the Japan RCC drag series in 1995) and achieving such fantastic times is what should be focused on. I was completely surprised to come across it as it had never been mentioned before by anyone and such a feat deserves a lot more recognition that it obviously hasn't received.

Charlie, the car in Roy's pick appears to be shod with radials and wears BFGoodrich sponsorship.

Interesting pic...However, I still don't think that it was run on radials as past top ten radial-tyred 4WD/GTR lists do not list this car. I would imagine that it would have run on radials at some stage before switching to slicks. HKS themselves would have to be the people to speak to for confirmation.

Are we sure the times is for the GTR and not the 180SX? I tend to agree it wasnt until HKS went R33 and got a bit more serious with modding the floorpan etc that they went stoopid quick. I suspect since that chart only refers to engine specs that it may be the 180SX time. I know the HKS driver was driving them both at the time according to the footage i have

Yes, I am sure. HKS USA even states the r32's quickest time as being 8.454:

And there is a pic of it with slicks.

PS, the original pic I posted (which looks like a magazine article) says "HKS GTR" :)

I don't really blame Dirt or Eyre for claiming the record as there was nothing in concrete - though I remember back then picking on the guy who was tuning Eyres car when he did the "record" about the fact that its a made up record and that I was SURE that the Japs had done single digits with GTRs in the 90s, but had nothing to back it up. I was sure I'd seen such videos/mag articles at peoples places back in the 90s when I was really getting into Skylines before I had access to youtube and WMV files etc and as such only had vague bourbon adjusted memories of such things.

I'm glad someone dug that up, I'm pretty sure there are various other Japanese 90s achievements which would still get people up and paying attention now. We need youtube clips to immortalise :)

that time has to be with slicks backin 1995... 8.4sec is awfully quick... the current cars and technologies struggle to match that with slicks.. but 8.4sec and the fun is over... all the money and time and preparation is all gone.. over in 8.4 sec.. doesnt make sense to me.

About those 8.4s.... 14 years later and people are still talking about it!

HT's 7.57, people still talk about it.

LOL...oops. :)

Oh, and that link. This car is the reason i cant tell you about all the drag footage as i was stuck watching the R33 0-300 and track laps

HKS T-002 (modified BCNR33) – The modified BCNR33, powered by the HKS 2.8L stroker engine (RB28) and twin GT3037S turbines, achieved the fastest time of 17.64 seconds at Yatabe 0-300 km/h Test Course setting yet another record for HKS.

When it ran 2540R it was of course slower at the 0-300 stuff but was doing sub 60 sec laps at Tsukuba

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
