we are planning to run the car jan 2010 if all the work we are doing is finished in time...prob the new year series at willowbank for some testing..

it will be totally different from the full street type gtr .. lots of carbon work and some more engine development during the off season and hot weather.

cheers, mark

Fantastic, look forward to hearing how it goes - any pics or anything of progress? I may have to pull finger on the long procrastinated about trip to Oz sometime, especially if HT go over. Side by side 7s GTRs would be unreal!

will see what pics we have..

new mods: carbon doors, carbon bonnett, carbon front spoiler, carbon brakes.carbon dash 200lbs weight saving...

new aero r32gtr look front spoiler...worth a few mph we hope...

rear suspension mods for better irs grip....

should have more power next year..

will be a new setup for us but for the better...

Awesome! How is the hunt for the record going?

Here's a teaser I shot on my cellphone on Monday of the current holder doing a burnout before his first run with the latest changes to the HT GTR, they did 3 runs on "low boost" at Taupo, NZ. Hopefully one way or another the record gets a nudge soon!

Good luck :)

we are trying to get the gtr ready to race on the 16th jan at willowbank..

the big diet has gone well and we have decided to run with the old turbo setup for a while longer...

will be great to race the gtr again and excited to see what gains we have made if any...et wise

also made some suspension changes but still running gtr irs rear end..

cheers, mark

car is running again ... not sure if we are going to make it to the track for saturdays event..

we will dyno the car tonight hopefully with the new turbo setup ... and if the new front spoiler is finished we could possibly still make it..

regards, mark

well we got to race the car after another 3 am finish on friday night..

missed the first qualifier due to being late.

car got auditied and had a small tear in my race suit so couldnt race the second qualifier..

rang theo and borrowed his suit thanks again..

3rd and finial qualifier ran a 8.0 at 169mph missed all my shift points laid rubber till 1/2 track..

1.33 60ft time 138mph to 1/2 track way of the money.. low boost etc...

1st round of racing 1.26 60ft launched hard pulled 2nd gear too late again blew the rear tyres in smoke then got all croosed up

heading towards the wall and backed of for a 10 sec pass at 68mph...

all in all was pretty dissapointing for all the late nights..

but now we have a real race car with loads more potential than it was previous..

car now weights 2890lbs with me in it..and loads more hp if needed..

big thanks to rob,big paul20b,harry and crew for all there help last week...

cheers, mark

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
