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.

T002.jpg

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

Sorry to post in here but DirtGarage can u clear your pm box (ive tried pm'ing you for last 3 days without any luck) as its full or alteast check your pm's regarding the money and pm i sent 10 days ago (14th april)

thanks mate

There's a thread in the NSW section with another bloke about some stuff paul owes, he may see that thread first >_<

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
