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..

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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
