2:07.9 is the fastest from a v8 supercar.... nice effort as the v8 super car runs slicks and there budget is higher!

you mean 2:06.8 by Murph 5 years ago or whenever it was?

a 7.9 might just get you into the top 10 these days...

as they should be. massive budget, many years of ongoing development, best drivers in the country...

not taking anything away from these times. that's crazy fast! as it the top speed! how good would it be to see the 34 wooshing past the V8s down Conrod?

Incredible effort. Well done to the giant boys.

Doesnt it make you wonder Just how far above the rest of the pack the gtr would be if it had the unbroken years of development thats been poured into the family cars. :P

Since the ATTESSA is all a about hissy fits rip that diff and guff out and go RWD! Actually with the power of that thing i think its best you suss out the AWD! Didnt the R33 have a similar problem last year? Is it that the transfer case just cant play ball at those powers, needs coolers ???

haha good work guys....shame mark is such a pussy behind the wheel otherwise you might have got a good result.

don't worry about the super taxis with an extra 20 years of development...what was the group A GTR's best time around there? that car had the best of everything - preparation, development, and the 2 best drivers going around back then.

awesome! simply awesome. :wave:

I have a present for you mark too. :(

and russ nothing for you cause you didn't come first. hehe. ok, I'll find a consolation prize for you.

think of a car that started out as a used, 10 year old, stock 34 GTR road car. was then lovingly built mostly by mark and russ and their friends and family with specialist help and bits where needed and it's now pulling 320km/h down conrod (and holding together mind you, no 1 lap grenade engine with 5 spares in the pantec.....) and running such great times at tracks all round the country. and it was built with their own money, hardwork, and sweat. As I told mark the first time I saw it all together it's pretty much the coolest GTR I have EVER seen and I've seen all the fancy ass ones in japan etc too from saurus, to mines, to m-speed and none of them put mark and russ's car in the shade. that's for damn sure.

well done again. I only wish I was there!

Berry's time was despite some issues with fuel and various. I saw all his runs - just f'kn awsome.

Makes my own effort (R32 GTR 2:41.4734 - only 0:27.7654 off the pace) seem a bit average. However I went in wanting to better 2:50 so I was happy. The car ran well with the only dramas being heat today (oil temp, and air temps) and a failing power steering pump. I had to do qualifying yesterday WITHOUT power steering - I did 5 laps and managed a 2:47. I was pretty rooted afterwards - could not imagine lasting much longer.

I went to the 2 day Drive Bathurst event last year (familiarisation; unlimited speed runs, NO timing) and did the Sprint this year.

All in all a top event and I reckon I'll be back next year (with better oil cooling, 4WD controller, lose some weight {me and the car}, ........). I've got 2:30 something firmly in the sights!

good to see you getting out there in my old humble 32. hope she's still treating you well mate. it was such a neat car when I owned it so hopefully it will keep on trucking. :wave: pretty good pace you are cracking too and mighty close to a 30 which is very respectable pace in anyones book. oil cooling is always a big one for GTRs. what are you running now?

haha good work guys....shame mark is such a pussy behind the wheel otherwise you might have got a good result.

was it not somewhere around the 2m 15sec reigon. Skaife set a lap record at 2m 15.46 not sure if it ever went quicker than that though.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
