Hi guys,

got the car wheel aligned today here in brisbane from bridgestone select, done an awsome job. We settled for Rear left +1.14degree Rear right +1.29 and both toeing in 2.7mm which under full squat the car will pull the rear wheels back to 0 degree and 0 toe, so should hook up good.

Front left -1.83degree and front right -1.46degree, front toeing in 0.8mm and got the caster sorted aswell, because the left front was hanging back the right front was pushed foward, so thats all good now too.

I am a little worried about the amount of toe on the rear as it does seem like alot.

After looking at that video, it doesn't look like your getting enough rear droop to zero out your ass end after the initial launch... Spring rates, compression and weight transfer looks pretty good though.

I'd hate to see the car start getting sketchy in the top end for the sake of marginally more traction (that you may not need).

Must be a blast to drive!

Justin.

The Japs were going faster in the late 90's with H-patterns?

They probably were...it's been a while :)

Definitely fastest/quickest H-pattern street GTR either way.

Looks like there is plenty left in, too.

Hi Guys, Just driving home back to Mackay, I will put the link on the 8.97sec pass up. Also Theo Willot Still holds the World record for fastest H pattern GTR I missed out by .02 of a second, and on Sunday I was gona to smash that time with an ET of 8.8. But third gear smashed into a million bits. I was 3MPH faster by half track than my 8.97 and thats also lifting of cause 3rd blew up. We are under the impression that the selector fork has bent therofore only half engaging 3rd and stripping the teeth off the cog.

Im laying down the challange that this car will run a Mid 8.5sec pass or lower with this H pattern box, as I am only running 150MPH to get 8.97secs and theo done 8.95 at 162MPH, I am only currently running 900-950HP with alot of go juice up my sleeve. Haha.

I will upload the other video my GF filmed later tonight when we get home,

cheers Matt

There is no evidence of a Japanese or American or euro or pommy GTR even running the 8s with a H pattern box, me and theo are the only ones to do it, Yes there are plenty of GTR in the 8s and 7s but they all run Sequential boxes or Airshifted liberties or Lenco gearboxes, which are an easy 0.3 of a sec quicker. Thats why Theos time is a World record that himself or me could ever find recorded.

Yes, how could I forget Theo's time....I don't think it was registered though :D

Either way, fantastic result and hope to see it get close to [RH9GTR]'s 8.47 auto time

btw, what does the car weigh in race trim?

Check out these videos... There are several running 8's with H-patterns

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
