Hi Ocane R34 Gtr

[Marlin]

Yeah, the Attessa thing is really gettin on the nerves. In fact, the car really performs quite well in 2wd, and we only confirmed our suspicions when we installed a transfer case pressure gauge on friday to make sure.

[sav man]

do you know where the error is coming from? does the ecu think it's working, or is does the ecu just not think that you need awd?

[hrd-hr30]

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...

[Marlin]

Yes Harry, A V8 Supercar is still quite a bit quicker yet.

[hrd-hr30]

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?

Indeed it would be cool! Russ was stoked to hear he clocked 358 in the Evo 5 weren't ya Russ, until Brett realised he'd misread it and it was actually 238. LOLOL nawwwww poor Russy......

[FineLine]

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.

Maybe the car is scared shitless and doesn't want to go any faster!!

[Duncan1]

Is there a link to the Video anywhere yet?

Just had a flick through youtube and couldnt see anything.

[Roy]

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 ???

[Duncan]

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.

Vids. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

Brilliant time!! Well done giant!

[Beer Baron]

awesome! simply awesome.

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!

[Beer Baron]

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. 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?

[Risking]

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.

[sav man]

2:12.8 was the pole for Bathurst 1991 in the GT-R

[giant]

HI guys

a link to vid of Mark screaming round bathurst, man it was fun

[Roy]

AMAZING VID! Thanks for posting. Speachless! Huge credit to you all for building that car to the quality you have then to go and show what pace it has!

Did i see pocs of an EVO up there as well? How did it go Russ?

[Roy]

I just watched side by side a Skaife qualifying lap alongside Marks second lap....again. You guys have done an amazing job with the car

[Huy]

Far out. That thing is intense!
