You sound cut up Roy?

GTi's GTR's they've done it all.

Well done boys!

Andre, if you haven't realised if you make a bold statement on here it seems to upset people easily. It must be the stupid aussie tall poppy syndrome.

Well done on the results guys...top stuff.

381kw! WOW that is intense!

Well done CRD! Once again raising the bar!

The Beast will be out at WSID on Wednesday night. Will post the results.

ps. the car is incredible, the difference the Cobb has made over and above the HKS setup is quite surprising. CRD have done a superb job with this car, it's incredibly drivable (moreso with the huge increases in torque across the range), and has ridiculous throttle response.

Larger injectors will really unleash this car's true potential.

Anyway, I'll provide an update next week.

Forget the 381kw. plenty of 32/33/34 GTR with 2530s or T04Z making that much awkw. but check out the torque curve!!! or should I say torque platform! that is why when you're in your fairly laggy 380kw R32 GTR and you line up this bloke in his 35 you get left a long way behind...

and I'm with troy. I can remember the 1990s! :D croydon autosports. GTI specialists! when you guys moved and swtiched the name to CRD yeah you became more into the GTR scene in the 2000's... i don't think troy was 'cut up' lol. just giving a little stick. hell read the blurb on CRDs website..... :D

I would say croydon autosports definitely made the swift GTi a popular cult tuning car in the 90s. and I'd say they opened a lot of people up to small capacity engines as a good thing to own and tune. not sure I'd say they made the GTR a cult car, but since changing to CRD and moving they have tuned and built way more than most and have put out some very nice GTRs. :)

The jibe wasnt intended to be a cheap shot, perhaps what i think is funny isnt funny:)

I still say ITSMAD was the coolest buzz box getting around when i was young. They were the pioneers back in the early 90s with turbo GTis and Aus deliverd S14s before the import word went gangbusters and they are still on top now.

LOL, so ... maybe im showing my age. You say CRD i think ITSMAD :)

THE BEAST SNARLED LOUDLY LAST NIGHT AT WISD WITH A SPECTACULAR 10.8 @127MPH 1ST TIME OUT, 1ST TIME DRIVER.

WITH A BIT MORE CLEANING UP WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO A COUPLE TENTHS BETTER.

CONGRATS PAUL!

Jim, I presume it will need a roll cage before you can get any faster - in the 10's, damn, that's impressive for a minor-ish mods. Great job guys - definitely very close to the fastest R35, 10.48s or so the US R35.

Now that is a goal worth pursuing...is 10.48 the best time in the US/world?

lol, I realised you were just havin a jibe Roy, I think GTi when I hear the name too :banana: Heck, I bought a NEW 1990 GTi and went to town on it, ten gearboxes later I realised something a little stronger in the driveline department was the go, so, GTR it was. haha

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
